Where do carrots grow best?

Part 1. Work with your group to collect continuous numerical data by measuring
length, circumference, diameter and mass of carrots from your region, either
Arusha, Dar, Iring, Morogoro, or Tanga.
Enter the data into your groups google doc.
Place your groups data into the spreadsheet.
- Find mean, median, mode and range of the data sets using the spreadsheet
formulas.
- Choose and construct appropriate graphs for each data set.
- Write a conclusion from the data under each graph.
Transfer your finished work to a Word document, name: it : your name 1 your class
your region carrot data eg. Charlotte1 6A Arusha carrot data
Part 2. As an expert on your regions carrots, join together with experts from the
other regions to compare the carrots from Arusha, Dar, Iringa, Morogoro and Tanga.
- Compare the mean, median, mode and range of the carrots from different
regions.
- Choose and construct appropriate graphs for each data set.
- Write a conclusion from the data under each graph.
Transfer this finished work to a Word document, name: it : your name 2 your class
your region carrot data eg. Charlotte2 6C Arusha carrot data
