The scenario is the number of Wal-Mart stores for each year from 2003 - 2010. The data is (2003‚ 4906)‚ (2004‚ 5289)‚ (2005‚ 6141)‚ (2006‚ 6779)‚ (2007‚ 7262)‚ (2008‚ 7720)‚ (2009‚ 8416)‚ (2010‚ 8970). Each of these graphs is plotted with these points. With this plot I need to formulate a curve of best fit using the correlation coefficient. This graph is about the number of Walmart employees. The X-axis is the Time ( years after 2002). The Y-axis is the number of Walmart employees (in thousands)

Using the Standard Deviation You made a number of observations about the data sets for the school activities. You used mean and median to measure the center of the data‚ and you used the interquartile range (IQR) to measure the spread. When outliers are present‚ the median and IQR are used to measure center and spread because they are unaffected by extreme values. When the data appears to be symmetric and there are no known outliers‚ the mean and standard deviation (another measure of spread)
