Topic: Using graphs to interpret data

In this assignment, you will be required to use the Heart Rate Dataset to complete the following:

Use the classification of variables from the Unit 1 assignment to match each variable to one appropriate type of graph

Create graphs of those variables

Give a brief written description of how the values of each variable are distributed in the sample. What does the graph tell us about the data in the heart rate sample?

Steps

Open the Heart Rate Dataset in Excel

Using the classification of variables from Unit 1 assignment as qualitative, quantitative discrete, or quantitative continuous, match each of the 3 variables to the most appropriate graph type.
