1. Warm Up Researchers deigned an observational study to investigate the accepted “normal” body temperature of 98.6F. In the study, 148 healthy men and women ages 18 to 40 had their temperatures taken several times over a three-day period. A total of 700 temperature readings were produced. 1.Explain why this is an observation study and not an experiment. 2.To what population does the conclusion about normal body temperature apply? Justify your answer. 3.Look at the first dot plot (the vertical line at 98.6F is for reference). What does this graph tell you about “normal”? 4.Look at the second set of dot plots. How do male and female temperature compare? Write a few sentences comparing normal body temperatures for males and female in the study. 5.List and describe as many possible sources of variation in this study as you can.

2. When data is presented without a table or in no specific order like this, what is the data called? 23 4834935 32 7953762 46 7235784 Lesson 4: Stem Plots Raw Data

3. Definition Sometimes the values of a variable are too spread out for us to make a reasonable dot plot by hand. In these cases, we can consider another simple graphical display called a stem plot—sometimes referred to as stem and leaf plots. Example: 11 2 22 2 3 31 4 42 3 4 4 5 52 61 1 3 70

4. Constructing a Stem & Leaf Plot There are 4 Steps to constructing a stem & leaf plot. They are summarized on pg. 45 of your textbook.

7. Step 2: Separate data into 1.A stem, the leading digits, consisting of all but the right-most digit 2.A leaf, the final digit Stems may have as many digits as needed, but each leaf contains only a single digit. Constructing a Stem & Leaf Plot

12. Key Concept To see the overall pattern of a distribution, ignore any outliers. Describe the overall pattern of the distribution by giving the center and the spread, and see if the distribution has a simple shape that you can describe in a few words.
