Projects 1-5
Project One: My partner and I wanted to survey our Statistics class about their favorite place to eat in Fowler. We asked each person individually both in person and through a survey that we created using Google Forms. We found that our class's most popular place to eat in Fowler is Main Street followed by the bowling alley. We learned from this project that these are the favorite places to eat in Fowler according to the Stats class (with some exceptions).

Project Two: The object of our project for chapter two was to find the trend in the wins per season for the Detroit Tigers baseball team. My partner and I found that there was no trend in the wins but there was certain seasons that went very well and some seasons that did not go well at all. We found that the Tiger's best season was in 1984 and we learned that most of Detroit's seasons had between 75 and 86.

Project Three: The overall goal of this project was to find the average SAT scores in every state. This topic interested my partner and I because we have recently taken the SAT and the test is a vital part in what colleges we can get in to and what scholarships we may receive. This topic seemed very relevant to our lives and we learned that the average SAT scores throughout the USA are relatively close overall.

Project 4: This project covered chapter four in our statistics book titled Correlation and Regression, this was relevant to my project because my partner and I were trying to prove a positive correlation between a person's Snapchat "snapscore " and how long that person had the app. We believed that the longer that someone had the app the higher their "snapscore" would be. We learned, after this project, that that is not necessarily the case because there was only a slight positive correlation between the two variables.

Project 5: My partner and I were given the sample space of 7 red marbles and 13 blue marbles in a bag. This means that we are given the task of finding the probability of when different instances regarding this bag of marbles would happen, using formulas that we used in class. While calculating the probability of drawing out the marbles in different sequences we found that the probabilities of drawing out just two marbles can vary greatly depending on the situation. By completing this project I have learned how the terms mutually-exclusive, independent, and conditional apply to combination and permutation calculations.
