Preview - Descriptive Statistics

Choose & Display Data

In our Jupyter binder, we have a number of different variables we collected from two classes of high school students:

1. Instagram Followers

2. Daily Phone Use

3. Number of photos on phone

4. Number of hours spent sleeping per day

5. Number of hours spent studying per day

6. Student heights

7. Student weights

Each of these you will find encoded in a CSV file (comma-separated-value) in our notebook. Pick one of the variables to analyze.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Choose a variable you would like to analyze for each class.

Run through the first few lines of code until you display descriptive tables for both class periods. (You may need to look at previous Jupyter notebook files if you forgot the commands for these functions.

Compare the standard deviations of these distributions. What does this tell us about 1st period versus 2nd period, in context of the variable you chose?
