ok so i'm going to show you real quick
how to use statcrunch to make a pie
chart with data that you can enter into
a table. first click, over on the Left
statcrunch, go to my stat lab and over
here in the left navigation bar there's
a little tab called statcrunch. click on
that and it will open up over here on the
right and the first line it says view
the data sets from your textbook they
have pre-loaded the sum of the data sets
from your textbook some of the examples
within the chapter sections and also
some of the data sets for some of the
homework problems so if you're working
on any of these that have these large
datasets you can go here and look for
them if they have them then they will
preload them but for our case we're
going to click the second link visit the
statcrunch website under my data it
gives different options for copying
pasting or uploading data sets
we're going to type in our own so we're
going to click this last one type or
paste data into a blank data table and a
spreadsheet opens up in the title of the
first column we're going to call this
color and we're going to label the
second column count and what we're going
to do basically is just enter the
qualitative statistics for our classes
and the count for each one so if we're
talking about Eminem's and we're talking
about color will say red blue yellow
green and brown and I'm just making up
these counts but of course I want you to
use real-world data so with Eminem's or
skittles or mixed nuts or something that
have qualitative properties that you can
count and will just enter some numbers
in here
well okay so we have basically is a
frequency distribution with the classes
being the qualitative properties and the
count for each one once you have that in
there you just go up here to graph click
on graph and list all the different
options for graphs and charts that you
can build with this we're going to go to
pie chart and with summary you can
experiment with those and look how the
other ones work but for the discussion
project this week would need a pie chart
so we're going to go in here
the first option here is categories is
asking us what column are the categories
in that would be the first column so in
this drop-down menu will see the names
of the columns and our categories are in
the color call our counts are in the
column that's named count so we'll click
that where I believe this lets you paste
or put the graph somewhere else besides
the sheets will just leave that alone
i'm not really sure display these are
both highlighted the count and the
percent of total they will show up on
our graph order by it has different
choices you can choose a value ascending
value sending worksheet that will label
them order them the way they are in the
worksheet count ascending account we're
going to say County sending you can do
this any way you like but count
descending will put the one with the
largest count first and descending
through that there's different uh visual
options here let's just change the color
and see what happens
and once you get it set up the way you
want it all title that's important
we'll call this M
and m's color frequency sees Eminem's
color frequencies and you should always
label your charts and graphs and once
you get all filled out just click
compute and it will give you the graph
the pie chart has a title as the summary
over here color yellow 16 the count
that's 23.8 percent and so on and gives
you the price chart if you want to copy
this so that you can paste it into a
word document or a powerpoint or even
into the discussion boards just hit
options and copy and it will put this
copy of it up here and then you can just
right-click on a pc on a Mac you'll have
to do it another way but with the pc
just right click on it and copy image
and then you can paste you can also
right click + save-image-as and so on
and that's it so copy it and put it into
your report or your discussion posts and
you'll have a nice clean my chart
