Lab 3: Two variable summaries, Sampling Distributions

Lab 3: Learning Objectives

Today, we will use data collected in class and in one or more data sets contained within the Lock5Data library, to:

• become more fluent in R and its functions for exploratory data analysis
• be able to explore how resistant various summary statistics (mean, median, sd) are to outliers
• use computational methods to understand the concept of a sampling distribution
