Comments of Data and Assignment
Data from the WNBA. Found at
http://www.wnba.com/statistics/default_all_time_leaders/AllTimeLeadersPPGQuery.html
This assignment was frustrating for the Sports data, because I did not understand the context of the data. I
looked at several sites and could not relate what I saw with anything I knew about. Quite revealing to me
personally…. Speaks volumes about expectations for students. I also confused myself on the assignment. I
mixed the oral directions with the written ones and am not sure I did the right thing. Last time I used the
calculator and this time the data from 6 a. & b on a spreadsheet. Then for activity #3, I did it only on the
computer. The advantages of the computer for the Movie Tickets data are that it is easy to print out and save.
Similarly for the data on Used Cars. For the WNBA data, I don’t think what I did makes sense in a spreadsheet,
bar chart. But it is late, more thought on this later.
