The National Survey of Adolescent Health interviewed several thousand teens (grades to ). One question asked was 鈥淲hat do you think are the chances you will be married in the next ten years?鈥 Here is a two-way table of the responses by gender:

What percent of females thought that they were almost certain to be married in the next ten years?
(a) About (c) About (e) About
(b) About (d) About
Dates on coins
(a) Sketch a dot-plot for a distribution that is skewed to the left.
(b) Suppose that you and your friends emptied your pockets of coins and recorded the year marked on each coin. The distribution of dates would be skewed to the left. Explain why.
Which of the following statements about this distribution is not correct?
(a) The histogram is right-skewed.
(b) The median is less than
(c) The IQR is
(d) The mean is greater than the median.
(e) The histogram is unimodal.
Marginal distributions aren鈥檛 the whole story Here are the row and column totals for a two-way table with two rows and two columns:

Find two different sets of counts and for the body of the table that gives these same totals. This shows that the relationship between two variables cannot be obtained from the two individual distributions of the variables.
The histogram below shows the distribution of the per cent of women aged 15 and over who have never married in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

The center of this distribution is in the interval
(a) to
(b) to
(c)
(d) to
(e)to
