Data visualization course
In this college/graduate-level course, Dr. Jonathan Stray shares materials for students to learn how to clean up data and use software to create data visualizations.
Describing Univariate Data
Chapter 3 Practice Quiz
In this practice quiz, students will practice calculating measures of center, measures of spread, histograms, boxplots, outliers, z-scores, and Normal distributions. This should take 40 minutes to complete.
Z-scores and Normal Distributions Worksheet
In this worksheet, students will calculate z-scores and use the empirical rule and a calculator to turn z-scores into percentiles in the Normal distribution. While you could use tables, I recommend the probability tool in GeoGebra. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Houselessness Distribution Worksheet
In this worksheet, students will calculate means, MADs, and standard deviations, as well as make stem-and-leaf plots and box plots. This should take 30–40 minutes to complete.
Percent Change and Range Worksheet
In this worksheet, students will calculate ranges (max – min) and percent changes. This should take 15–20 minutes to complete.
Center Spread Histogram Boxplot Worksheet
In these two (2) worksheets, students will calculate center, spread, and z-scores, as well as making histograms and boxplots. Each worksheet should take 40 minutes to complete.
Chapter 3 Quiz (Version B)
In this quiz, students will be tested on measures of center, measures of spread, histograms, boxplots, outliers, z-scores, and Normal distributions. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Chapter 3 Quiz (Version A)
In this quiz, students will be tested on measures of center, measures of spread, histograms, boxplots, outliers, z-scores, and Normal distributions. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Chapter 2 Quiz (Version B)
In this quiz, students will be tested on types of variables (categorical, ordinal), including hybrid data and indices. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete., In this quiz, students will be tested on types of variables (categorical, ordinal), including hybrid data and indices. This quiz also covers percentages, percent changes, and percentiles. This should take 20–30 minutes to complete.
Men’s and Women’s Heights GeoGebra
In this data file, you’ll be able to demonstrate what the Normal distributions of men’s and women’s heights look like — and spoiler alert, it’s not bimodal. The heights aren’t distinct enough for that. This could take 5 minutes in class for a discussion. With a GeoGebra file, download it first, open GeoGebra, then go to the open existing file from computer option.
