Lab 1H: Our Time

Lab 1H - Our Time

Directions: Follow along with the slides and answer the questions in bold font in your IDS Journal.

The labs until now have covered a huge range of topics:

– We've learned how to make plots for different types of variables.

– We know how to subset our data to get a more refined view of our data.

– We've covered cleaning data and making two-way frequency tables.
In this lab, we're going to combine all of these ideas and topics together to find out how we spend out time.

Export, Upload, Import the class' timeuse data from the IDS Homepage as timeuse_raw.
The data, as is, is very messy and hard to interpret/analyze.

– Fill in the blank with the name of your imported data to format it:
```
timeuse <- timeuse_format( ______ )
```
This function formats/cleans the data so that each row represents a typical day for each student in the class.

In case you're wondering, the timeuse_format function:

– Takes each student's daily data and adds up all of the time spent doing each activity for each day.

– The time spent on each activity for each day is then average together to create a typical day in the life of each student.

We would like to investigate the research question: "How did our class spend our time?"

– To do this, we'll perform a statistical investigation.
State and answer two statistical questions based on our research question

– Also, state one way in which your personal data is typical and one way that it differs from the rest of the class.
Justify your answers by using appropriate statistical graphics and summary tables

– If you subset your data, explain why and how it benefited your analysis.
