Data Mini Project TURN THIS PAPER IN TOO:
Due:________________
1. Create a question that is multiple choices (3-5 choices). Survey at least 10 people and have them write their
answer and sign next to it (will also turn this in). Create a bar graph using the survey that identifies all
important information.
Ex: Which is your favorite baseball team of these choices: SF Giants, Oakland A’s, LA Dodgers?
MY QUESTION: __________________________________________________________________________
Important info in the bar graph: Titles at the bottom of the bars, title and numbers on the y-axis.
2. Create a question that has number answers. Survey at least 10 people (can be the same people) and have
them write in their answer and sign next to it (will also turn this in). Create a stem and leaf plot and a box
and whisker plot using this information. Identify all important information in the plots.
Ex: On average how many MINUTES a day do you spend brushing your teeth?
MY QUESTION:__________________________________________________________________________
Important info in the stem and leaf: words stem and leaf at the top, the number of answers matches the number
of leaves, items separated into appropriate stem and leaves
Important info in the box and whisker plot: lower extreme, upper extreme, lower quartile, upper quartile,
median, box and whiskers drawn. You should also find the interquartile range and the overall range as well (it will
not be in the picture, just listed).
Project Options: Powerpoint , Mini Poster (1 regular paper size with all displays on one), Large poster (with all
displays on one), book, other:____________ (must get permission)

though the student spent some time on it.
Few, if any, of the information is labeled
on the bar graph, stem and leaf plot or
box and whisker plot.
3 points
The displays are mostly easy to read. Some
parts may be somewhat harder to read than
others. Some parts look put together last
minute.
Some of the information is labeled on the bar
graph, stem and leaf plot and box and whisker
plot.
