Given information

Given,

02

Explanation for correct option

Individuals in the American Community Survey data set for ten people picked at random by the survey released on the Census Bureau Web site have six variables, two of which are categorical.

Weight, age, commute to job, school, gender, and last year's income are the six variables. Two of the variables, namely school and gender, are categorical.

The right solution is (c) 6 variables, 2 of which are categorical.

Use the data in the two-way table on page 12 to calculate the marginal distribution (in percents) of gender.

Where do the young live? Below is a stem plot of the percent of residents aged 25 to 34 in each of the 50 states. As in the stem plot for older residents (page 35), the stems are whole percent and the leaves are tenths of a percent. This time, each stem has been split in two, with values having leaves 0 through4 placed on one stem, and values ending in 5 through 9 placed on another stem.

(a) Why did we split stems?

(b) Utah has the highest percentage of residents aged 25 to 34. What is that percent? Why do you think Utah has an unusually high percentage of residents in this age group?

(c) Describe the shape, center, and spread of the distribution, ignoring Utah.

A study in Switzerland examined the number of cesarean sections (surgical deliveries of babies) performed in a 100. Section 1.3 Describing Quantitative Data with Numbers 73 year by samples of male and female doctors. Here are summary statistics for the two distributions:

(a) Based on the computer output, which distribution would you guess has a more symmetrical shape? Explain.

(b) Explain how the IQRs of these two distributions can be so similar even though the standard deviations are quite different.

(c) Does it appear that males perform more C-sections? Justify your answer

(b) roughly symmetric.

(c) skewed to the right.

(d) unimodal.
