I had been having trouble with my car. specifically that the lock would freeze over night, therefore preventing me from getting inside. My grandmother told me that she would spray the lock with WD-40 to prevent the lock from freezing. Needless to say after attempting this experiment I still could not get in my car. This is a great example of anecdotal evidence because it was based on no scientific foundation.]]> 2017-01-23 23:07:24 UTC https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148893326 noahkeeney https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148897607 This fun pie chart's "data" does not include numerical values and therefore displays categorical variables.

My study included sitting and observing people at the mall. This is a convenience sample because the subjects observed were simply the ones that had passed me while I sat. This allowed me to give minimal effort while still obtaining data. ]]> 2017-01-24 00:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148898164 noahkeeney https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148898930 Averages come up often in the world of sports. The Eagles' Carson Wentz is no exception. At the end of the last game of the season, one of the announcers brought up how Wentz's average yards per pass is 6.2 yards. This seems fairly good but when compared to Tom Brady's average of 8.2 it doesn't seem as impressive.]]> 2017-01-24 00:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148898930 noahkeeney https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148899832 The Today show held an experiment where they tested to see which type of exercise would burn the most calories. They had a woman on separate days try each of three workouts. Although the experiment is horribly under covered, this still shows the basics of a proper experiment design.

This huge survey will be completed on Feb 14. This survey has a voluntary response sample because papers were distributed with the information to take the survey, but only those willing to take the survey will have their data collected.]]> 2017-01-24 01:12:11 UTC https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148901717 noahkeeney https://padlet.com/noahkeeney/k7r504k3lqwd/wish/148903839 I spoke to my cousin who is currently attending Shippensburg University. She was (somewhat) able to explain to me how grading on a curve works.

It asked of the four following options which product I had seen advertising of. I selected none of the above because i had never seen any of them.

His parents could tell when he was sick so they got the strongest medicine they could. After about a day, he would get better.
