Statistics: Introductory Concepts Activity

You have been contracted by American Airlines at Truax Field to determine how many bags a person is allowed to bring with them on their commuter flight. Toward this end, they have given you a sample of luggage that people might bring with them. A commuter flight holds up to 100 people, and the cargo hold has a (scaled) volume of 110,000 cm3.

Write down the steps you will take to accomplish your mission:

  1.  

     

  2.  

     

  3.  

     

  4.  

     

  5.  

     

  6.  

     

A few tools have been provided for you. One is a table that can calculate the average and standard deviation for up to four columns of data. The other is a graph that can be used for making frequency diagrams (histograms). Good luck!
