Charting Spreadsheet Laboratory


In this lab you are to:

Create a spreadsheet that takes the following hardness data and finds the average hardness value for each heat treatment.  

Hardness data (Hardness measurements are in Rockwell C scale) spreadsheet:

Temper Temperature (F)

Measurement 1

Measurement 2

Measurement 3

Average

 no temper

 52

 54

 53

 53

400 F temper

 48

 50

 49

 49

1000 F temper

 39

 37

 38

 38

Note: that I copied this data and the titles into this document using the windows clipboard and the cut and paste function from my spreadsheet. I expanded the width of column A to 15 characters. The average values were generated with a spreadsheet formula.

Make a bar graph of the average values as shown below. Note that the axes are labeled and the graph has a title. You must label and title your graph.

Write a brief, formal letter to J.C. Lutz of Lutz Manufacturing detailing the results of the hardness test. Import the chart into the letter using the clipboard.
