Spinoffs Project: Descriptive Statistics and Data Analysis for Shuttle Missions, Study Guides, Projects, Research of Introduction to Business Management

Capital Community CollegeIntroduction to Business Management

Learning modules (spinoffs) inspired by the long-term activities (ltas) for students from pre-algebra to calculus. The spinoffs focus on using mathematics in real-world contexts. This particular spinoff deals with analyzing descriptive statistics, standard deviations, and creating scatterplots and regression lines using data from nasa's space shuttle missions. Students are asked to draw conclusions about mission duration, flight distance, altitude, and number of orbits based on the provided data.

SPINOFF 9A

Descriptive Statistics for Shuttle Data

Each Shuttle flight generates large amounts of data. In this Spinoff, you will be asked to draw conclusions about mission duration, flight distance, altitude, and number of orbits based on the data in Table 9A. The information in Table 9A has been adapted from Space Shuttle: The History of Developing the National Space Transportation System by Dennis R. Jenkins.
