Of the variables you have studied so far, which type yields non numerical data ?
Sleep Aids. The additional sleep, to the nearest tenth of an hour, was obtained by a sample of patients by using a particular brand of sleeping pill. In this case, decide which type of grouping (single-value, limit, or cutpoint) is probably the best.
Acute Postoperative Days. Several neurosurgeons wanted to determine whether a dynamic system (Z-plate) reduced the number of acute postoperative days in the hospital relative to a static system (ALPS plate). R. Jacobowitz, Ph.D., an Arizona State University professor, along with G. Vishteh, M.D., and other neurosurgeons obtained the following data on the number of acute postoperative days in the hospital using the dynamic and static systems.

For a qualitative data set, what is a
a. frequency distribution?
b. relative-frequency distribution?
High School Completion. As reported by the U.S. Census Bureau in Educational Attainment in the United States, the percentage of adults in each state and the District of Columbia who has completed high school is provided on the WeissStats site.
a. use the technology of your choice to identify the modality and symmetry (or non-symmetry) of the distribution of the data set.
b. if unimodal, classify the distribution as symmetric right-skewed. or left-skewed.
