Cold weather A meteorologist preparing a talk about global warming compiled a list of weekly low temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) he observed at his southern Florida home last year. The coldest temperature for any week was \(36^{\circ} \mathrm{F},\) but he inadvertently recorded the Celsius value of \(2^{\circ} .\) Assuming that he correctly listed all the other temperatures, explain how this error will affect these summary statistics: a. measures of center: mean and median b. measures of spread: range, IQR, and standard deviation

Student survey The dataset Student survey contains 299 responses to a student survey from a statistics project. The questions asked included: \- How would you rate yourself politically? \((1=\) Far left \(, 9=\) Far right \()\) \- What is your gender? \- Do you believe in God? \- Pick a random number from 1 to 10 . \- What is your height (in inches)? \- Which is your dominant hand? \- How many dates have you had in the past 6 months? \- How many friends do you have on Facebook? \- What is your weight (in pounds)? \- How many drinks did you have last night? \- Are you a varsity athlete? \- How many songs are on your MP3 player? \- How would you describe your diet? Using technology and appropriate graphical displays and summary statistics, write a report on several of the variables.
