For Unit 2 of my Population class, we mainly went over central tendencies which consists of mean (average), max, min, range, mode, median, 1st quartile, and 3rd quartile. Then we learned how to put some of that information on a number line showing where they would be the name of this is a box and whisker plot. Next we learned about standard deviation which shows the quantity of something in a group and comparing it to a population of this thing. For the action project, we had to pick an animal from a rescue that is in our town and tell why we would think it would be best fit for Mars, also how it would help the Mars 1 project. The purpose of this action project was to show an animal would do in these kinds of conditions. My favorite thing about this project was that I got to learn more about Mars and its lands.

Since this animal would be living with humans, food, air, water problems would have been solved. That being the case, I believe it would best if the people settled in a dry plain area where the ground is flat. This would be best because there is more heat in the soil so when it gets fairly cold, it would be easy to get heat because there are no obstacles blocking it. If water does become a problem they can have something to extract the water in ice form from the ground. The animal I have chosen is in the video below.
From looking at The Chicago Canine Rescue, I will use the amount of years to show my data on the animals. Below is the box and whisker plot.
The standard deviation for this sample was 3.63 (3 years 7 months), and with a group with an average of 3.47, this shows that there is a very small age variance with the animals. With an outlier of about 3.98. The American Eskimo mixed with a Terrier is 3.63 standard deviations above the mean.
