Course Home Content Grades Communication Assessments Tools Resources Assignments > Milestone Module 5: Creating an Original Chart Milestone Module 5: Creating an Original Char Hide Assignment Information Instructions As part of the Final Project, you will need to create an original graph. While you are researching your topic, find a graph to recreate or find data that you can turn into a graph. Input the data into an Excel document and create a graph using the chart tool. Be sure to include a clear title for the chart and correctly label all data and units. Include your approved topic somewhere on the page.

1: Do an Internet search and locate a graph that relates some information on a topic of interest to you. The graph may be a pictograph, a bar graph, a line graph, or a pie chart/graph. Describe the graph and what information is being presented in the graph. Provide a brief analysis of the graph that addresses the interpretation of the information. Create a question that your classmates can answer based on the data in the graph. (Note that you do not need to answer the question in your initial post.)

Open the files for the course project and the dataset. For each of the five variables, process, organize, present, and summarize the data. Analyze each variable by itself using graphical and numerical techniques of summarization. Use Excel as much as possible, explaining what the results reveal. Some of the following graphs may be helpful: stem-leaf diagram, frequency/relative frequency table, histogram, box plot, dot plot, pie chart, bar graph. Caution: not all of these are appropriate for each of these variables, nor are they all necessary. More is not necessarily better. In addition, be sure to find the appropriate measures of central tendency, the measures of dispersion, and the shapes of the distributions (for the quantitative variables) for the above data. Where appropriate, use the five-number summary (the Min, Q1, Median, Q3, Max). Once again, use Excel as appropriate, and explain what the results mean. Analyze the connections or relationships between the variables. There are ten possible pairings of two variables. Use graphical as well as numerical summary measures. Explain the results of the analysis. Be sure to consider all 10 pairings. Some variables show clear relationships, while others do not. From the variable analysis above, provide the analysis and interpretation for three individual variables. This would include no more than 1 graph for each, one or two measures of central tendency and variability (as appropriate), the shapes of the distributions for quantitative variables, and two or three sentences of interpretation. For the 10 pairings, identify and report only on three of the pairings, again using graphical and numerical summary (as appropriate), with interpretations. Please note that at least one pairing must include a qualitative variable and at least one pairing must not include a qualitative variable. Prepare the report in Microsoft Word, integrating graphs and tables with text explanations and interpretations. Be sure to include graphical and numerical backup for the explanations and interpretations. Be selective in what is included in the report to meet the requirements of the report without extraneous information.
