SECTION ONE
Use Unit III: SAS 6, SAS7, calculator instructions and web links on my website.
 List the approved NBA and WNBA Teams and Years include a logo for each team
 List the players’ names and the “average points per game” (PPG) for each team.
 List the minimum number and player for each data set.
 List the maximum number and player for each data set.
 List the median and player for each data set.
 List each data set horizontally from least to greatest; compute and label the five-number
summary, mean, standard deviation and the “n” for each team.
 Create a box-and-whiskers plot (boxplot) for the NBA team; interpret the “box” (50% of
the NBA players average is …); On another slide, describe in detail the distribution of
each boxplot, including the center, shape, spread, symmetry and skewness.
 Create a box-and-whiskers plot (boxplot) for the WNBA team; interpret the “box” (50% of
the NBA players average is …); On another slide, describe in detail the distribution, of
each boxplot, including the center, shape, spread, symmetry and skewness.
 Create a “side-by-side” boxplot of the NBA and WNBA Stats.
 In detail, compare and contrast the two boxplots.
SECTION TWO
Data will be provided. Use SAS 6, SAS7 and calculator instructions. Choices: line plot
(dotplot), bar graph, stem-and-leaf plot, pie chart, frequency table, boxplot (box-andwhiskers), scatterplot, line graph or histogram format.
 List the question and data collected.
 Is your data univariate or bivariate? Why? Is your data catagorical or quantative? Why?
 Represent and label the data using one of the graphical displays listed.
 Represent and label the data using another graphical display listed.
 Choose one of your displays and describe the distribution, including the center, shape,
spread, symmetry and skewness; which display did you use and why?
 Compute, list and label the five-number summary, mean, standard deviation and the “n”.
If not possible, describe in detail why and represent the information in yet another
graphical display.
 Explain and discuss, in detail, what your data represents and what graphical display works
best with your data and why?
