Grossmont College Credit Card Debt for Men and Women Questions

Note to tutor: You can always open my canvas and view from there which will be easier for you.??

It does not take a lot of work!! This may look long but they’re just a heads up!!

Introduction

For your final project in Math 160, you will use StatCrunch to analyze a unique data set to answer questions. In the Final Project Module, you will walk through the project step by step. But if you want to see all of the requirements in one space, please see the final project handout (Links to an external site.). The same information that is in the handout is also within the Final Project Module. However, for some students, it helps to take it all in at once instead of taking it step by step.

Step 1: Get your data!

Each student will be working with their own data set. No two data sets will be alike! So it is important that you follow these steps to get the data you will be working with. You may not share data with a classmate. Your data must be gathered using the following process.

About your data set…

• This is your unique data set. It should not be shared with any other students.
• You can work on the final project all at once or start, stop, and come back to it as needed. If you take a break and come back, do not generate a new data set. To retrieve your data set, go to the StatCrunch homepage and click on “My data” under the “Data” heading.
• Your data set represents responses to the following survey questions:

1. 1. 1. Gender? Male, Female, Other
      2. Classification? First year student, Sophomore, Junior, Senior
      3. Credit hours you are taking this semester?
      4. Hours you work each week (to nearest half hour)?
      5. Total amount in dollars of your student loans?
      6. Total amount in dollars of your credit card debt?

Looking Ahead

At this point, you do not need to hand anything in. You’ve simply generated the data set that you will use to answer questions on the next pages of the module. Once you have answered the questions, the very last step will be to submit your data set.

Note to tutor: These were just information for you on how to do the final project.

This is were the project requirements are:??

Let’s Begin the Final Project!

Open your unique data set in StatCrunch.

Use the data you have collected from StatCrunchU to answer each of the following questions. If you do not already have your unique data set open in StatCrunch, follow the steps in the video or the written directions below to retrieve your unique data set from StatCrunch.

Question 1 – Descriptive Statistics

PROMPT

1. Describe the distribution of credit card debt separated by gender using concepts from Unit 2 (Modules 4-7).
   • Make an appropriate graph and provide appropriate numerical summaries.
   • Describe the shape, center, and spread using numerical measures that best describe the distribution.
   • In your description, include an interval of typical values and a discussion of variability.
   • Embed your StatCrunch graph in your response.
2. Do the data suggest that males or females are more likely to have higher credit card debt?
   • Use the data to support your answer.

How & What to Turn In

Submit your answers to the prompt above. Make sure to include any StatCrunch graphs and tables in your answer. You can turn your work in either by typing in your response into a textbox (just like we have done in our discussion boards) or you can write up your response to the prompt in a word document and submit that. When you are ready to submit your work, click on “Submit Assignment”.

Discussion Board

Use the Final Project discussion board (opens in a new tab) to ask questions or provide feedback about the information provided above.
