1. What are the variables in this survey?

The routine, whether the people were using their bikes or cars to work, the cost of gasoline and even the
distance that each person has to travel to work or back home and their safety. Also longitude and altitude.
2. Form a frequency table to see the number of stops along each street. Which street has the most stops?
What might be a reason for this?
Olympic was the most stops in average, reason for it may be that there is a lot of people that don't own
cars or are simply to poor to afford any other means of transportation.
3. How many total stops are there?
There is a estimate of 138 stops to my knowledge.
4. Look at the data for the 6000th rowa bus stop on Sunset Boulevard at Anita Avenue. Go to
http://getlatlon.com and type in Sunset & Anita, Los Angeles, CA and check that the longitude and
latitude listed in the data file are the same as from Get Lat Lon. What do you notice? Why might this be
the case? Cant the site doesn't work.

5. Create a subset of the bus stops that are along Sunset or Vermont. How many stops are there?
For Vermont it was about four times, and Sunset is like 42 times

6. Create a plot of bus stops that are along Sunset or Vermont. Include a title, axes, and a background.
Describe what you see in the plot. I see that the bus passes through a heavily populated areas and often
where traffic is congested.

7. Create a plot of bus stops that are along Myrtle or Mulholland. Include a title, axes, and a background.
Describe what you see in the plot. How does this compare to the plot of Sunset or Vermont.
The site doesn't work.

8. Create a plot of bus stops that are along Gayley or Hilgard. Include a title, axes, and a background.
Describe what you see in the plot. How does this compare to the previous plots?

9. Create a plot of bus stops that are along a few streets in your neighborhood. Include a title, axes, and a
background. Describe what you see in the plot. Why might this data be useful for someone to have?
Data that would be crucial to have is the routines to work of the passengers, the amount of buses and the
total population of non drivers who take the bus stop.

10. What is an advantage to plotting the data on a map instead of just looking at the latitude/longitude
numbers?

The advantage is people are able to see the actual routine, instead of just getting very accurate
coordinates

11. What would happen to the map if you had less data in the file? More data in the file? How would that
affect your interpretation of the map?

If I had more data it may help a more accurate, or worse depending on the results, however I would say
that it would be fairly beneficial to have more information on which I can create a conclusion.

12. If you were trying to make a case that you needed more bus stops in your neighborhood would it be
enough to show that the count of bus stops is less than those along Sunset? Explain your answer.

I believe not, I would have to prove that there is a higher crowding of pedestrians in my neighborhood,
proving that a higher concentration of buses is required in this area.

13. How could you use what you learned about plotting points on a map with the data you have collected?
The site doesn't work, but graphing/plotting the points on the map can help me visualize the facts better
and make a better assumption in the future
