Assessment: Data Entry, Analysis and Presentation With MS Excel

This document provides instructions for students to complete an assignment analyzing weather data from the past week. Students are asked to: 1) Set up a spreadsheet with their name, date, and labels for temperature data columns 2) Enter high and low temperature data from the past 7 days into the labeled columns 3) Calculate statistics like the mean, range, median, and mode of the temperature data 4) Create a line graph to visualize the high and low temperatures over time 5) Write steps for creating a line graph in Excel and summarize what the graphs show 6) Make two inferences based on the graphed temperature data

Assessment
Data Entry, Analysis and Presentation with MS Excel

Name________________________________ Date_____________

Directions: Complete the following steps in Microsoft Excel. When you have completed the assignment,
submit the PDF file in Google Classrooom- below the Instruction with the following format: (Last Name
First Initial.xls) (SiricoM.xls).

You will be creating a data spreadsheet and 2 graphs on the high and low temperatures during the last 7
days. You will need to do some research using the Internet to locate accurate information. You will then
place the data in an organized Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

I. Setting Up a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet

STEP 1: Write your name in cell A1. Resize column A to fit your whole name. Change the font of your
name to a readable type other than Arial or Times New Roman.

STEP 2: Write today’s date in cell A2. Date format should be mm/dd/yyyy format (2/24/2021). Resize
Column B as appropriate. (NOTE: You will be unable to change the font of the date.)

STEP 3: Create labels for your data sheet. Labels should be “Date”, “Temperature °F (High)”,
“Temperature °F (Low)”.

II. Data Entry

STEP 1: Visit the following website: PAGASA DOST Website: http://bagong.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/ using an
Internet browser like Internet Explorer.

STEP 2: Visit each of the last 5 days on PAGASA DOST Website: http://bagong.pagasa.dost.gov.ph’s site
and take note of the high and low temperatures as they appear. Place the temperatures in the appropriate
columns you set up.

III. Develop a Formula

STEP 1: Create a formula that establishes the mean of the high and low temperatures. Place that formula in
cell A11.

STEP 2: Create a formula that establishes the range of the high and low temperatures. Place that formula in
cell A12.

STEP 3: Figure out the median for both high and low temperatures. Place that value in cell A13.

STEP 4: Figure out IF there is a mode. If there is, place that value in cell A14. If there is NO mode, place a
N/A in the cell A14.

IV. Create a Double Line Graph

STEP 1: Create a Line graph of high and low temperatures. (HINT: Use the Chart Wizard).

STEP 2: Set up labels on the x-axis, y-axis, graph title, and key. Change the font size, color, and type as
appropriate. Your graph should look similar to the picture below.

V. Summary/Essay

1) List the steps to creating a line graph in Microsoft Excel. Be sure to be as descriptive as possible
regarding menus, options, etc.

2) Summarize your graphs. What do they tell you?

3) Establish 2 inferences based on the data you collected from Weather.com and placed in your
graphs. You should refer to the graphs in each inference.
