EXPLORING STATISTICS CLASS ACTIVITY

Goals

In this activity,You will learn to make graphs of sample distributions in order to answer questions about data in cmparing two groups of students.

Materials

Meter Stick(or tape measure).

Personal Distance

Work in groups of three students. Each group must have a meter stick. The first person stands (preferably in front of a wall) and imagines that she or he is at an ATM getting cash.

The second student stands behind the first. The first student tells the second student how far back he or she must stand for the first student to be just barely comfortable, saying, for example, "Move back a little, now move forward just a tiny bit," and so on.

When that distance is set, the third student measures the distance between the heel of the first person's right shoe and the toe of the second person's right shoe. That will be called the "personal distance." For each student in your group, record the gender and personal distance.

Your instructor will help you pool your data with the rest of the class. Note: Be respectful of other people's personal space. Do not make physical contact with other students during this activity.

BEFORE THE ACTIVITY

2. Which group will have distances that are more spread out?

3. What will be the shape of the distributions?

Do men and women have different personal distances? Create appropriate graphics to compare personal distances of men and women to answer this question. Then describe these differences.
