Categorical Data. In Exercises 23 and 24, use the given categorical data to construct the relative frequency distribution.
Births Natural births randomly selected from four hospitals in New York State occurred on the days of the week (in the order of Monday through Sunday) with these frequencies: 52, 66, 72, 57, 57, 43, 53. Does it appear that such births occur on the days of the week with equal frequency?
P-Values In Exercises 13鈥�16, write a statement that interprets the P-value and includes a conclusion about linear correlation.
Using the data from Exercise 6 鈥淏ear Measurements,鈥� the P-value is 0.000.
In Exercises 1鈥�6, refer to the data below, which are total home game playing times (hours) for all Major League Baseball teams in a recent year (based on data from Baseball Prospectus).
236 237 238 239 241 241 242 245 245 245 246 247 247 248 248 249 250 250 250 251 252 252 253 253 258 258 258 260 262 264
Data Type
a. The listed playing times are all rounded to the nearest whole number. Before rounding, are the exact playing times discrete data or continuous data?
b. For the listed times, are the data categorical or quantitative?
c. Identify the level of measurement of the listed times: nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio.
d. Which of the following best describes the sample data: voluntary response sample, random sample, convenience sample, simple sample?
e. The listed total game times are from one recent year, and the data are available for all years back to 1950. Given that the listed times are part of a larger collection of times, do the data constitute a sample or a population?
Scatterplot. In Exercises 5鈥�8, use the sample data to construct a scatterplot. Use the first variable for the x-axis. Based on the scatterplot, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?
Heights of Fathers and Sons The table lists heights (in.) of fathers and the heights (in.) of their first sons (from Francis Galton).

| 75 | 71 |
| 75 | 70.5 |
| 75 | 72 |
| 74 | 76.5 |
| 74 | 74 |
| 73 | 71 |
| 73 | 72 |
| 78.5 | 73.2 |
