Re:
Histograms
–
Paperclip
Experiment
A
HARDCOPY
of
this
assignment
is
due
on

5. Thursday,
November
6th
at
the
beginning
of
class.
PART
I:
Collect
Experimental
Data
• Bend
the
provided
30
paper
clips
until
they
fail.
o Follow
the
instructions
presented
in
class
on

6. how
to
bend
the
paperclips.
• Record
the
number
of
bends
until
failure
for
all
30
clips
• Determine
the
frequency
of
failure
from
1
to
20
bends
o If
the
paperclip
lasts
more

7. than
20
bends,
note
their
frequency
in
the
“20+
bends”
row,
and
mention
the
frequency
of
this
result
in
your
paper.
• Record
any
additional
observations
about
the
paperclips
that
might
be
useful.

8. PART
II:
Organizing
the
Data
Create:
1. A
table
and
histogram
(using
EXCEL)
from
your
team’s
data
(30
paperclips).
2. A
table
and
histogram
(using
EXCEL)
from
the
data
collected
from
the

9. entire
class
(300
paperclips).
3. A
table
and
histogram
(using
EXCEL)
from
the
data
collected
from
all
8
sections
of
EGR
186
(2400
paperclips).
Be
sure
your
graphs
are
appropriately
scaled.
i.e.,
don't

10. compare
the
#
of
bends
of
a
group
(30
paperclips)
to
the
entire
class
(300
paperclips).
If
you
want
to
compare
30
paperclips
to
300,
convert
to
%.
PART
III:
Presenting
the

11. Experiment
Write
a
report
to
explain
the
experiment,
show
the
data
collected,
and
discuss
the
results.
1. Include
a
cover
page
with
appropriate
information.
2. The
report
must
contain
a
1)
problem
statement,
2)

12. methods
section,
3)
results
section,
and
4)
conclusion
(make
a
conclusion
by
writing
a
short
paragraph
to
answer
the
provided
questions).
a. Conclusion:
discuss
your
observations
regarding
the
frequencies
of
paperclip
failure.

13. i. Is
there
a
distinct
trend
or
trends?
ii. Discuss
why
such
a
result
may
have
occurred
(re-­‐examine
the
paperclips
for
any
possible
clues
to
the
trends
observed).

14. PAPER
FORMAT
NOTES:
• Write
your
paper
in
3RD
PERSON!
i.e
“The
data
show…”,
NOT
“I
saw
a
trend
in
the
data…”.
In
engineering
technical
papers,
the

15. data
is
the
focus
(not
you…).
• Properly
label
title
and
axes
of
every
graph.
No
legend
is
required.
• Explain
what
each
graph
and
table
is
in
the
text.
Refer
to
each
graph

16. in
the
text
(Figure
1,
Figure
2,
Table
1,
etc.).
• Each
graph
must
also
have
a
caption
centered
directly
BELOW
the
figure
(i.e.
Figure
1:
Team
results
of…).
• Each
table
must
have

17. a
caption
centered
directly
ABOVE
the
table
(i.e.
Table
1:
Team
results
of…).
• Refer
to
the
journal
articles
you
read
for
the
Tech
Comm
Project
for
format,
header,
figure,
table,
and
caption
