Super Survey Simulator

Directions
Complete each of the following tasks, reading the directions carefully as you go. Be sure to show all work
where indicated, including inserting images of graphs. Be sure that all graphs or screenshots include
appropriate information such as titles, labeled axes, etc. If your word processing program has an equation
editor, you can insert your equations here. Otherwise, print this activity sheet and write your answers by
hand.
In addition to the answers you determine, you will be graded based on the work you show, or your
solution process. So, be sure to show all your work and answer each question as you complete the task.
Type all your work into this document so you can submit it to your teacher for a grade. You will be given
partial credit based on the work you show and the completeness and accuracy of your explanations.
Your teacher will give you further directions about how to submit your work. You may be asked to upload
the document, e-mail it to your teacher, or print it and hand in a hard copy.
Now, let’s get started!

Step 1: Collect and organize your data.


a) Using the Super Survey Simulator, survey 10 students of your choice and gather data. Create an
organized representation of your data below.

cafe

h13.8 g= 1.42

h=14 g=4

h= 21.9 g=4

classroom

1. h=18 g=4
2. h= 16.7 g= 3.21
3. h= 20 g= 4

library

1. h= 19.5 g= 3.77
2. h= 21.9 g= 3.69
3. h= 16.7 g=3.5
4. h= 15.2 g= 3.92

b) What do you think the purpose of this survey is? Explain.

the purpose of this survey is to probably figure out the correlation of how many hours students study to
the effect it has on their gpa

Step 2: Graph your data.


After organizing your data, you will now create a graphical representation of your data.

a) Why is a scatterplot an appropriate display for this data set?

Student Guide (continued)

scatter plots help you find patterns in data. they also help you see if you missed anything,
or if there are any outlier points.

b) What features would need to be included on a scatterplot so that the data can be easily
analyzed? Make a list of needed features and explain why each is important to the graph.

axes label- to show the variables that are plotted on the x and y axis

scale: to help show your data


data points:to represent your data,using one for each variable

c) Next, you will make a scatterplot. Name a point that will be on your scatterplot and describe what
it represents.

(14, 4) representing the students gpa, and hours studied in a week

d) Using the regression calculator in your tool bar, create a scatterplot using your data set from step
1. Insert a screenshot of your scatterplot, or recreate it below.

Step 3: Analyze your data.


Now that you have represented your data graphically, it can be more easily analyzed.

a) Describe how the line of best fit and the correlation coefficient can be used to determine the
correlation between the two variables on your graph.

the line of best fit is like, something that’ll give you an idea on the outlook of your data. whereas a
correlation will give you the exact point or measurement.

b) Describe the type of correlation between the two variables on your graph. How do you know?

our two variables have a positive correlation bcus they both move up in the same direction.

c) Does the correlation between the variables imply causation? Explain.

no, because they are both moving in the same direction

d) How do you calculate the residuals for a scatterplot?

you would have to subtract a predicted value from a measured value.

e) Calculate the residuals for your scatterplot in step 2d.

13.8 - 1.42=2.38

14 -4 =10

21.9 - 4= 17.9

18- 4 = 14

16.7 - 3.21= 13.49

20 - 4= 16

19.5 - 3.77= 15.73

21.9 - 3.69= 18.21

16.7- 3.5= 13.2

15.2 - 3.92= 11.28

f) Create a residual plot for your data.

im a little confused but im just gonna put the hz studied and the difference? i dont think its gonna mean

anything but i dont know what else to put.

g) Does your residual plot show that the linear model from the regression calculator is a good
model? Explain your reasoning.

I really don't know.

Step 4: Make a prediction with your data.


a) Using your equation from step 2d, estimate the GPA of a student who studies for 15 hours a
week. Justify your answer.
