Scenario/Summary
In this iLab with Rattle, you will attempt to look at a data set in order to see what it entails and to create a summary. In this iLab, we will be using Rattle in order to mine for data in a particular data set.
The tasks for this iLab are listed below.
Understand the basics of numerical summarizations, visual summarizations, and correlational summarizations.
Use Rattle to analyze a data set.
Student will write answer questions and take notes to compare numerical, visual, and correlational summarizations.
After you are done, you will submit your completed iLab to the Week 2 Dropbox.
