What are the four steps, in order, of the Statistical Process?

answer:

1. Plan (Ask a question): formulate a statistical question that can be answered with data. A good deal of time should be given to this step as it is the most important step in the process.

2. Collect (Produce Data): design and implement a plan to collect appropriate data. Data can be collected through numerous methods, such as observations, interviews, questionnaires, databases, samplings or experimentation.

3. Process (Analyze the Data): organize and summarize the data by graphical or numerical methods. Graph numerical data using histograms, dot plots, and/or box plots, and analyze the strengths and weaknesses.

4. Discuss (Interpret the Results): interpret your finding from the analysis of the data, in the context of the original problem. Give an interpretation of how the data answers your original questions.

f(x) has value 150 at x= 0

and 0 at x= 3

so d(f(x))/dt = slope = -150/3 = -50
