    The document provides guidance for students to explore relationships between columns of data in cross tabulation charts (crosstabs) and scatter plots using various datasets. In the crosstabs activities, students analyze parts of speech by length and favorite classes by grade to identify patterns like nouns being longest on average and seniors favoring computer science most. For the scatter plots, students examine relationships between median household income and adult college graduation rates, finding a positive relationship between the two. Another scatter plot has students pick columns to compare, with an example pattern described of admissions being evenly distributed with similar graduation rates across schools.

    Activity Guide - Exploring Two Columns

    Cross Tab

    1. Crosstab - Use the “Words” dataset


    Use: Length & Part of Speech
    a. Chart - Copy and paste the chart you created in the space below

    b. Which part of speech shows up most often in this data set?


    Nouns show up most often

    c. Which part of speech seems to be longest, on average?


    Nouns seem to be the longest

    d. Which part of speech seems to be shortest, on average?


    Infinitive markers seem to be the shortest

    e. About how long is the "typical" noun? How can you tell?
    A length of 5; that box is the bluest (meaning it’s the most common)

    2. Crosstab - Use the “Favorite Classes” dataset


    Use: Grade & Favorite Class
    a. Chart - Copy and paste the chart you created in the space below

    b. Which class do Seniors like the most?


    Seniors like Computer Science the most

    c. Which grade likes History the most?


    Freshmen like History the most

    Computer Science Principles 1


    Exploring Two Columns

    d. What is one other interesting pattern you can see in this diagram?
    Literature stays consistent throughout the grade levels

    Scatter

    1. Scatter - Use the “US States” dataset


    Use: Median Household Income & Percent Adult College Graduates
    a. Chart - Copy and paste the chart you created in the space below

    e. What is the range of incomes on this chart?


    Incomes range from 42009 to 78916

    f. What is the range of percentages of adult college graduates?


    Percentages of adult college graduates range from 19.9 to 42.1

    g. Do you see a relationship between income and percent of adult college graduates? What does the
    relationship look like?
    Yes; as percentage of adult college graduates increase, income also generally increases

    3. Scatter - Use the “US States” dataset


    Use: You pick the columns to compare
    In the States table find a combination of columns in a Scatter Plot that you think show an interesting pattern

    a. Chart - Copy and paste the chart you created in the space below

    Computer Science Principles 2


    Exploring Two Columns

    b. What is the pattern that you observe in this data?


    The data is pretty evenly-distributed throughout, so even if there is a greater number of
    admissions, there isn’t a guaranteed increase in the percentage of adult college graduates

    c. Describe what this pattern might mean or indicate.


    This could indicate no matter how prestigious or hard to get into a school is, there will still be
    similar graduation rates as other schools

    d. Usually we can't be sure whether the pattern we observe in a scatter chart (a correlation) means that
    one of the columns is causing the other. Give one way you might do more research to try to investigate
    the cause of the pattern you found.
    Check to see how hard the classes may be – a harder to get into school might have a harder
    curriculum, leading to more students dropping out
