Activity 5
Get some real life data about some phenomena, example population growth,
income of popular stars, number of linux users according to countries, and
number of schools according to states. Manipulate the data using Open Office
and make analysis on the results.

There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up, and the kind you make
up.
