Course Project Instructions
===========================

For 50 consecutive days in early Spring,
the numbers of Canadian geese and sparrows in a certain park
in Kentucky are recorded.

Geese
13, 16, 14, 12, 10, 10, 15, 10, 14, 12,
15, 13, 15, 11, 13, 14, 17, 15, 14, 11,
15, 15, 14, 10, 13, 13, 16, 10, 13, 10,
12, 13, 15, 13, 14, 15, 18, 16, 13, 11,
12, 15, 12, 13, 10, 15, 13, 13, 14, 13

Sparrows
45, 47, 47, 40, 33, 41, 45, 33, 39, 39,
42, 44, 49, 30, 36, 44, 50, 45, 46, 39,
45, 45, 44, 35, 42, 42, 45, 35, 54, 50,
47, 41, 49, 40, 48, 46, 48, 51, 40, 38,
44, 45, 42, 56, 37, 47, 41, 43, 47, 40

Analyze, compare, and contrast these 2 data sets.

Create a project report using Microsoft Word.
Use the Save As command to save your final document as a PDF file.
Upload the PDF file via the assignment link.

Your project report MUST include EACH of the following sections:

Cover Page
----------
Use "Data Analysis Project" as the title of your report.
Include your name below the title.
Below your name, type "This is my own work."

Introduction
------------
Include the problem description and the 2 data sets.

Strategies
----------
You will use each of the following 3 strategies to explore the data:

1. Consider the two data sets independently.
2. Consider the two data sets as time series data.
3. Consider the two data sets as paired data.

In your own words, explain what each of these strategies means.
Be specific in terms of the problem statement (geese and sparrows).

Independent Data
----------------
Use statistical measures of center and spread to analyze the data.
Present your results numerically.
Explain and interpret your results.

Time Series Data
----------------
Present the data using 2 time series graphs.
Explain and interpret your results.

Paired Data
-----------
Use linear regression to analyze the data.
The data pairs to analyze are the (# geese, # sparrows) pairs for the 50 days.
Present your results both numerically and graphically.
Your graph must include both a scatter plot and the regression line.
Explain and interpret your results.

Summary
-------
Summarize your findings and conclusions.

Answer 1

The time series plots are:

The data follows a horizontal pattern with seasonality.

The statistical measures of center and spread are:

	Geese	Sparrows
mean	13.26	43.22
sample standard deviation	1.98	5.36
sample variance	3.91	28.75
minimum	10	30
maximum	18	56
range	8	26
1st quartile	12.00	40.00
median	13.00	44.00
3rd quartile	15.00	47.00
interquartile range	3.00	7.00
mode	13.00	45.00

The center and spread are more for Sparrows.

The scatterplot is:

There is a moderate positive relationship between the variables.
