What is the name of your database?

2. Choose and write down the name of any quantitative and continuous variable from your database and use Excel to calculate the mean, median, mode, min, max, range, variance, and standard deviation for that variable. Paste the results into your main post (or use Add/Remove to attach them).

a. Which measure of center (mean, median, or mode) does the best job in describing your variable and why?

b. Which measure of center (mean, median, or mode) does the worst job in describing your variable and why?

c. Include (type in) the value 50000 into your selected variable data. Now, recalculate the mean, median, and the variance for your variable (now that it includes the extra value of 50000). How did this change the mean, median, and variance from their original values? Is the change what you expected?

3. Choose any two quantitative variables from your dataset. Use three numerical measures to compare these two variables. Next, create a bar graph that includes the mean and median for both variables (to visualize their comparison)

Using the attached action research proposal, take this opportunity to create a mock presentation using PowerPoint, or other professional presentation software and present your action research proposal to your peers through Jing, Present.me, or PowerPoint to create your presentation with both a visual and audio component.

Your visual presentation must include all nine components of the action research plan and follow the guidelines for creating effective presentations as discussed in the required and recommended video tutorials located in the recommended and required readings section.

In order to ensure your viewers experience the full effect of your mock proposal, it is imperative that your voice and a visual presentation complement each other as you explain all nine of its components. Therefore, it is a requirement you include the video component with audio as you share your action research proposal.

You must keep your presentation under five minutes. Keep in mind, the emphasis is more on you and your ability to share your knowledge, heart, and passion about your topic, while leading your viewers through the nine components of your mock action research proposal. Your visual presentation will provide the main points of each of the nine components, as you follow the seven by seven rule. But your oral complement will elaborate to fill in the blanks between those main points. Thus, you will have the opportunity to provide all the details, important information, and passion behind it to your audience verbally. This will not only appeal to both visual and auditory learners, simultaneously, it will make your presentation more enjoyable and enriching for both you and your viewers
