1. Pick 8 River rafting trips to investigate. Choose only summer trips where you know the number of days you will be gone. Also, to ensure your safety, any trip you investigate must have a responsible guide. Pick trips you might consider doing someday if you had the time and money.
a. Make a table of all 8 trips complete with description, number of days, and the prices.
b. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the prices.
c. Make a scatter plot of the data. Show the days on the horizontal axis and the prices on the vertical axis. Draw a trend line between the prices.
d. Make a stem and leaf plot of the data.
e. Make a box and whisker plot of the data.
f. Which method of data analysis was most helpful to you? Why?
