- Which state had the highest sample size?
- What percent of the total sample size was represented by tribes in the United States?
Part II
Use the linked map generated by this data set to answer the following questions:
- What regional trends in this data are illustrated on this map?
- Which states showed the highest obesity rates? Which showed the lowest?
- Use the CDC site Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity: Data, Trends and Maps to generate your own table and map by selecting your own criteria. You will need to select a location, an Indicator Category, and then an Indicator from the drop-down menus provided. Once your map and table is generated, scroll to the bottom of the page to locate the citation information you will need for your references section.
- Copy and paste the data table you generated into an Excel spreadsheet. Manipulate the columns and cells to display the data accurately, and then report the regions with the highest and lowest trends by sorting the data.
- Insert your sorted spreadsheet as a Table and your map as an image on PowerPoint slides. Include a Title slide and a reference slide. Describe the trends for each table and image in the Notes section of the respective slide.
