Use the frequency table to create a histogram of the data
Do you notice any patterns in the histogram? (uniform, symmetric, skewed)
Task 2:
Using the Hurricane data select 9 Hurricanes from the data and at least one from each month occurrence and determine the average wind speed of these 9 different hurricanes.
Hurricane Name
Maximum Sustained Winds (mph)
*Pick 9 Hurricanes off the “U5_Data_Hurricane” sheet
Find the mean, median, and mode of the data.
Mean: sum of all hurricane wind speeds9= =
Median: (put Max Sustained winds in order least to greatest and find the middle (5th one)
Mode: (does a number occur more than once? No mode is ok, 2 modes are ok)
Which measure of central tendency best describes the data? Explain your answer
(Choose mean if there is no outlier in the data, choose median if there is an outlier)
How fast would a 10th hurricane’s Sustained Winds have to be for the average speed to exceed 160 miles per hour (and change the hurricane classification to a Category 5 Hurricane)? Explain how you determined your answer.
sum of 9 Category 4 Hurricane sustained wind speed+x10=160…solve for x
