MA 2611, Applied Statistics I Term C, 2011 Lab Report January 26, 2011 Name: Lan Chi Tran Thi Lab Number: 2 What Were the Objectives of this Lab? To show us how to: Gather and Access data. Analyze data: Stratified plots, Repeatability and Reproducibility, Frequency Histograms and Box Plots, Numerical Summaries, Trimmed and Winsorized means, and Sampling. Write a lab report. Explain Briefly the Experimental Procedure You Used in this Lab. In this lab, I accessed and analyzed a professor’s electricity usage (ELECE). First, I analyzed the data distribution to learn about the average amount of KWHs used (27.9368 KWH), the maximum (51 KWH), and the minimum (10 KWH). Next, I formed the data distribution to get the most frequency value (26 KWH, which was recorded 16 times). In the next step, I formed a frequency histogram of data, and knew that the range of KWHs shows the highest frequency is from 22.5 KWH to 27.5 KWH. The frequency associated with the highest bar is 54. Finally, I created the scatterplot, but the underlying trend is difficult to see, so I used the moving average filter to see the pattern. In the 7-term moving average, the plot increased but then decreased. This is the same for the 28-term moving average. The 28- term moving average shows less variability. We can conclude that this dataset is non-stationary.

In this lab, I accessed and analyzed a professor’s electricity usage (ELECE).

Next, I formed the data distribution to get the most frequency value (26 KWH, which was recorded 16 times). In the next step, I formed a frequency histogram of data, and knew that the range of KWHs shows the highest frequency is from 22.5 KWH to 27.5 KWH. The frequency associated with the highest bar is 54. Finally, I created the scatterplot, but the underlying trend is difficult to see, so I used the moving average filter to see the pattern.
