Week 1 Project For each week's Project, you will answer statistical questions and solve statistical problems using the STATDISK software. Remember that the primary focus of these exercises is to understand how to properly solve statistical computations using the STATDISK software. It is also important to focus on the approach you took to arrive at a solution. Grading weight will be placed not only on correctness, but also on the depth and clarity of your answers. In the Week 1 Project you will learn how to open a file, copy, paste, and sort data, input and transform data. Assume all data files that you work with are samples unless otherwise stated.

1. Week 1 Project
For each week's Project, you will answer statistical questions
and solve statistical problems using the STATDISK software.
Remember that the primary focus of these exercises is to
understand how to properly solve statistical computations using
the STATDISK software. It is also important to focus on the
approach you took to arrive at a solution. Grading weight will
be placed not only on correctness, but also on the depth and
clarity of your answers. In the Week 1 Project you will learn
how to open a file, copy, paste, and sort data, input and
transform data. Assume all data files that you work with are
samples unless otherwise stated.
Note:You will NOT receive full credit for a problem submitted
without an explanation. See the Course Information area for the
grading evaluation criteria for Projects.
Questions about this assignment? Post them in the Contact the
Instructor area. That way, everyone in the class will see and
benefit from the Instructor's response.
To prepare for this Project:
•Complete the MyStatLab homework for Week 1.
•Review the Statdisk User Manual in Doc Sharing.
•Reflect on how you might use written form to communicate the

2. process by which you will solve the problems.
The Assignment:
1.Read pages 3 - 7 in the Statdisk User Manual.
2.Perform Statdisk computations and answer questions in the
Week 1 Project.
3.Submit your completed assignment to the Week 1 Assignment
2 submission link.
How to Format your Assignment
You will be using the original Week 1 Project as it appears in
Doc Sharing as a template for your answers.
1.Open the Week 1 Project found in Doc Sharing. The Project
will open in Microsoft Word and allow for you to cut, paste,
and insert text.
2.Insert your solution to each problem directly below the
question. Color your answers red.
3.Be sure to cut and paste ALL tables, charts, and information
generated by using the STATDISK statistical program and
explain what each chart represents.
Before you submit your finished Project, make sure that each
question includes the original problem, your solution to the
problem, and your explanation of how you arrived at such a
solution in red.

3. Week 1 Technology Application
The assignment:
1.Read pages 3 - 7 in the Statdisk User Manual.
2.Perform Statdisk computations and answer questions in the
Week 1 Project.
3.Submit your completed assignment to the Turnitin submission
link.
How to Format your Assignment
Create a document in Microsoft Word format with the original
problem, the solution, and the explanation, much like the
Sample Technology Application
Solution
document in this week’s Resources page.
1. Be sure to include the original problem as it appears in the
textbook. The Technology Manual is in .pdf form and allows for
you to cut and paste text, but do not concern yourself greatly
with the formatting.

4. 1. Be sure to cut and paste tables, charts, and information
generated by using the STATDISK statistical program and
explain what each chart shows.
BELOW IS A SAMPLE PROJECT FOR GUIDELINE. I HAVE
ALSO ATTACHED IT AS A WORD DOCUMENT TO THIS
QUESTION.
SAMPLE Project (Answers and explanations are in red)
I opened the Week 1 Project from Doc Sharing.

5. Project 1:
Working With the Data Editor.
Downloading Statdisk
1) First go to the website at www.statdisk.org and then scroll
down to the bottom of the page to download
the Statdisk program version 11.1.0. by clicking on the windows
or the MAC version.
I went to
www.statdisk.org
and downloaded the statdisk 11.1.0 windows version.
Download Statdisk Version 11.1.0

6. Statdisk 11.1.0 Windows 2K, XP, Vista
Statdisk 11.1.0 OSX
See the included ReadMe.txt file for details.
Open A Saved Data File
2)
After you have opened the Statdisk program, go to
Datasets
and then
Elementary Stats, 9
th
Edition
.

7. Open the file named
SUGAR
.
The data will appear in column 1 in the Sample Editor.
I opened the statdisk program, went to Datasets, then
Elementary Stats, 9th edition and opened the Sugar file.
Copy and Paste a Data File
3) Make a copy of the data values listed in column 1.
Paste the data files into column 2. Re-name the title

8. of column 2 to COPY.
I went to Copy and then selected column 1.
I then selected copy.
Then I clicked on Paste and chose column 2.
I then had 2 identical columns of the Sugar data.
Sorting Data Values
4)
Make another copy of the data values listed in column 1 and
paste those into column 3.
Then sort only

9. the data values in column 3.
Label the column SORT.
I selected Copy and clicked on column 1 and then pasted them
into column 3.
I clicked on Sort and then selected column 3.
Entering a Set of Data Values
5)
Manually enter all of the data values listed below into column 4
in the Statdisk editor.
Type all of the data values into the one column in vertical
fashion like the other data values are listed in the other
columns.

10. It does not matter what order you input the data values.
Label the data values with the name of
IQ.
I typed the following data into column 4.
