EXAMPLE 1.4

Who, what, and why for the statistics class data. The data set in Example 1.3 was constructed to keep track of the grades for students in an introductory statistics course. The cases are the students in the class. There are seven variables in this data set. These include a label for each student and scores for the various course requirements. There are no units for the label and grade. The other variables all have “points” as the unit.
