Writing Question
Wordle is a popular word game that can be played on the web. Players get 6 tries to guess a 5-letter word of the day. With each guess, players can see how many letters guessed are present in the word and how many of those letters are in the correct spot.
After each game, players are provided with their statistics, which are depicted in the graphs you see below. The graphs depict frequencies of correct guesses. For example, if a player gets the word correct in 3 tries, the total in the 3 column increases by 1; similarly, if a player takes all 6 tries to get the word, the 6 column increases by 1.
Over time, then, the Wordle application tracks the number of guesses it took for a player to correctly guess the word of the day, With that information in mind, look at the 4 player distributions and answer the following questions.
Which player is the best of the 4? What information from the distributions allows you to make that determination?
Which player is the worst of the 4? What information from the distributions allows you to make that determination?
Are any of the distributions normal? Are any of them positively skewed? Negatively skewed? Which ones and how do you know?
If you were to really dig in, what descriptive statistics would you be able to calculate and report by looking at these distributions?
