Refer to specific values, calculations, or pieces of your graph. Sentence starters below (use if needed). · When looking at the graphs, I noticed differences among the … · The (mean, range, mode, standard deviation – whichever fits your data) were different. The value for each city was _____ and _____… · There was a lot of variation (difference) in the ______ from city to city. · Your discussion must include a conclusion. · **Conclusion (paragraph 4):** What did you learn? What are some big ideas? What was interesting or surprising, and what questions do you have? Sentence starters below (use if needed). · By doing some calculations and making the graph, I found that … · I was surprised to see ________ because… · I expected to see _______ because… · I am curious (or I wonder) about … · Personally, I would rather live _____ because … · **What to turn in:** · You must turn in a **copy of your Excel spreadsheet** that shows all appropriate calculations. · You must insert your **graph** into the project that you submit. · Your project must include a minimum of **four (4), well written and organized paragraphs (3-5 sentences per paragraph)**: introduction paragraph, comparison paragraph, contrasting paragraph, and a conclusion paragraph. · This formal project will be graded according to the rubric distributed by your instructor. · You may present your findings as a formal paper, PowerPoint, video presentation, or by using the template provided. If you choose to include a video, ensure your instructor can read and hear all appropriate information. **MAT152 Unit 1 Project – TEMPLATE** **NAME: _______________________** **Objective:** Your project assignment is to compare and contrast the temperature data that you have been given using summary values that you will calculate along with a graphical display of your data. · **Calculations (include units and be sure to attach your Excel sheet to your submission):** · City A _______________________ · Mean high temperature = ___________________ · Range of high temperatures = __________________ · Sample Standard Deviation of high temperatures = __________________ · Mode(s) of high temperatures, if applicable = __________________ · City B _______________________ · Mean high temperature = ___________________ · Range of high temperatures = __________________ · Sample Standard Deviation of high temperatures = __________________ · Mode(s) of high temperatures, if applicable = __________________ · **Graph:** · You must insert your graph into the project. · **Compare and Contrast Written Discussion – four paragraphs (3-5 sentences per paragraph):** · You must include: introduction, comparison paragraph, contrasting paragraph, and a conclusion.
