AP Statistics Summer Assignment: This Assignment Is Designed to Help You Become Familiar

AP Statistics Summer Assignment: This assignment is designed to help you become familiar with your graphing calculator and start you thinking about the data around you every day. This assignment is due at the end of the first week of school. Please do your work on this packet.

1. Find two articles (magazine, newspaper or internet) containing statistics. For each, write a brief paragraph stating what the article is about and why you were interested in it. Also state whether or not you believe the statistics presented in each article and why. Attach articles and paragraphs to the back of this packet.

2. The table below contains the results of a laboratory analysis of calories of major hot dog brands. Researchers for Consumer Reports (June 1986) analyzed three types of hot dog: beef, poultry, and meat (mostly pork and beef, but up to 15% poultry meat).

Beef Poultry Meat 186 173 129 181 191 132 176 182 102 149 190 106 184 172 94 190 147 102 158 146 87 139 139 99 175 175 107 148 136 113 152 179 135 111 153 142 141 107 86 153 195 143 190 135 152 157 140 146 131 138 144 149 135 132

Using lists in your calculator and one variable statistics, find the minimum, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum for each type of hot dog. Present your findings with well-labeled box plots. You may draw one number line and have the three plots above it.

4. Below is a list of the number of FaceBook users by region of the world, according to Anson- Alex.com (2012). Present the data in a pie chart. (Each sector should be % of total FaceBook users times 360º. Option: Use “Excel”, write “see attached” here and attach a printout.)

North America 174,586,680 Europe 223,376,640 Carribean 6,218,960 Latin America 141,612,220 Africa 37,739,380 Middle Ease 18,241,08 Asia 183,963,780 Oseana/Australia 13,353,420 5. Below is a table of data regarding “America’s Best Small Companies” in 1993 according to Forbes Magazine. The first column has the age of the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) and the right column has his salary (including bonuses) in thousands. Is the salary related to age?
