Quantitative Data: The number of hours per week my
Instagram followers spend on schoolwork outside of school.

Description: I used a poll on Instagram to collect a few sets of

data, however, I will use the sets of data individually. I first
created a poll for the number of hours per week my followers
spend on school, outside of school hours. This was the most
effective way to get data in a short time frame. I think that it
SLIDESMANIA

serves its purpose, therefore it is efficient.

 Bias?

As a result of me using my Instagram

to ask for results for a school project,
there is bias, however, it does not
affect the data itself. The numbers are
still accurate as I did not persuade
anyone to insert inaccurate data.

 Part I

The data reads as follows, 6, 4, 2, 7, 5,

3, 15, 6, 3, 4, 2, 4, 9, 5, 7, 15, 3, 0, 21,
2, 2, 4, 5, 12, 8, 15, 6, 10, 1, 7, 7.

Mean= 6.45, Min= 0, Q1= 3,

Median = 5, Q3= 8, Max= 21
The data appears to be skewed
right.

 Summary

5 Number Summary: 0, 3, 5, 8, 21
Minimum hours spent on schoolwork outside of school = 0
Maximum hours spent on schoolwork outside of school =21
Q1= 3 Median = 5 Q3= 8
Standard Deviation:
A majority of the values fall within one standard deviation. The 1 deviation covers
from 0.2 hours to 9.8 hours. The values that fall within 2 standard deviations are
between -4.6, and 14.6. Because time isn’t measured in negatives, the -4.6 doesn’t
really fit for any of the values as they are all positive and measure in hours.
