Due: Sept. 30
Monday:

TEST on WEDNESDAY Topics include
- Excel XY-Scatter plots (Fitting, extracting features (like slopes including units), comparing to theories, extrapolating/interpolating, measures of fitness such as R² and p-values)
- Excel statistical functions: (such as average, standard deviation, quartiles, etc.). Also recognizing outliers and comparing distributions to normal distributions
- Excel statistical graphs: histogram and box-and-whiskers
- Excel Frequency (array) formula
- Excel IF function
- Excel conditional formatting
- R basics: comments, variables, vectors
- R statistical functions (mean, standard deviation, etc.) and statistical plots (histogram and box-and-whiskers)
Lab 10A. Make an Endangered species pie chart as shown in the image below.

Lab 10B. Write an R program that reads the data file DayOfBirth.csv and makes a bargraph of the data. (While the result you are making is a histogram, do not use R's histogram hist method because the frequencies have already been determined -- we had this same issue of using automatic histograms and making our own in Excel.) Recall that you may want to rename the field names that come with the file. When you have a graph you like, add the line of code before and after to save the result in one of the following formats: jpg, pdf, png or svg.

Lab 10C. Repeat the above exercise with the data following file Powerball.csv

Lab 10D. Write an R program that reads the data file MarineReserve.csv. This time use the histogram hist method. When you have a graph you like, add the line of code before and after to save the result in one of the following formats: jpg, pdf, png or svg.
