Dice Project - Chart Work Day

Today We Discussed:

We continued our progress with our dice project, and learned how to create new charts from our collected data.  For this project, we only focused on histograms/bar charts/column charts.  The completed project will have two histograms that are outlined in the project packet.

We also reviewed some practical uses of spreadsheets to gain better understanding of how and why they are used.

Finally, we discussed some of the things we learned by completing this project.  Students were given a list of discussion questions that they should use to build their conclusion document to be included with the final project. We will spend some time in class tomorrow going over the discussion questions and comparing data with each other.

Frequency Tables & Chapter 4 Review

Today We Discussed:

We reviewed our theoretical outcomes that were generated from our sample space and their frequencies that we calculated together during yesterday's class, and worked more with frequency tables.  A frequency table is a good tool to quickly tabulate the number of times an event occurs, and an easy way to classify a large set of data.

The tutorial below is an excellent beginning video for Google Sheets (GSheets), and it's sourced from YouTube.  If you click on the "SHOW MORE" link, a list of the different topics of the video and links to the exact starting points are displayed for easy reference.
