Chapter 1: Q T1.1. (page 78)

You record the age, marital status, and earned income of a sample of 1463 women. The number and type of variables you have recorded is

(a) 3 quantitative, 0 categorical

(b) 4 quantitative, 0 categorical

(c) 3 quantitative, 1 categorical

(d) 2 quantitative, 1 categorical

(e) 2 quantitative, 2 categorical

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct option is (d) 2 quantitative, 1 categorical

Step by step solution

01

Given information

You keep track of the age, marital status, and earnings of 1463 women.

02

Concept

Qualitative variables are indicated individual variables whereas quantitative categories are indicated numerical variables.

03

Explanation

The variables represent the topics that were looked into.

Variables=Age, Marital Status, and Earned income

Individuals are placed into categories by categorical/qualitative criteria, whereas quantitative variables are numerical quantities. Because age has numerical values, it is a quantitative variable (such as 24 years). Because the categories are Single, Married, Divorced, Widowed, and so on, marital status is a categorical variable. Because earned money takes on numerical values, it is a quantitative variable (such as 3000 dollars). Then we notice that there are two quantitative variables (age and earnings) and one categorical variable (gender) (earned income). Therefore the correct option is (d) 2 quantitative, 1 categorical.

Comparing investments Should you put your money into a fund that buys stocks or a fund that invests in real estate? The boxplots compare the daily returns (in percent) on a 鈥渢otal stock market鈥� fund and a real estate fund over a year ending in November2007

(a) Read the graph: about what were the highest and lowest daily returns on the stock fund?

(b) Read the graph: the median return was about the same on both investments. About what was the median return?

(c) What is the most important difference between the two distributions?

Population pyramids A population pyramid is a helpful graph for examining the distribution of a country鈥檚 population. Here is a population pyramid for Vietnam in the year 2010. Describe what the graph tells you about Vietnam鈥檚 population that year. Be specific.

How can we help wood surfaces resist weathering, especially when restoring historic wooden buildings? In a study of this question, researchers prepared wooden panels and then exposed them to the weather. Here are some of the variables recorded: type of wood (yellow poplar, pine, cedar); type of water repellent (solvent-based, water-based); paint thickness (millimeters); paint color (white, gray, light blue); weathering time (months).

Identify each variable as categorical or quantitative.

Phosphate levels The level of various substances in the blood influences our health. Here are measurements of the level of phosphate in the blood of a patient, in milligrams of phosphate per deciliter of blood, made on 6 consecutive visits to a clinic: 5.6, 5.2, 4.6, 4.9, 5.7, 6.4. A graph of only 6 observations gives little information, so we proceed to compute the mean and standard deviation. (a) Find the standard deviation from its definition. That is, find the deviations of each observation from the mean, square the deviations, then obtain the variance and the standard deviation. (b) Interpret the value of sx you obtained in (a)

The National Survey of Adolescent Health interviewed several thousand teens (grades 7 to 12). One question asked was "What do you think are the chances you will be married in the next ten years?"
