The numbers in the x-axis aren't equal spaced, like it goes from 1990 to 91 to 93 to 97 to 03. That's not consistent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first one is misleading because the scale on the x axis isn't consistent. 2a) mean - 70.2 median - 62 mode - 85 2b) The mode would best support this claim, 'cause it's higher then the rest. 2c)The claim is misleading because she only has 2 85s, and 3 scores much lower.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that for the first one or second one?? @doulikepiecauseidont

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@NY,NY got any answers, ? your like my fav!!! <3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Answer all these and your the best.. ill become a fan and give you a medal!!

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

So @doulikepiecauseidont had it right for the first problem.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

For 2a, @Col2718 was right with the mean.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

Let me check the others....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ur the best!!! thanks...

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

Yep the median is 62, and the mode is 85. Just as @Col2718 said.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

And @Col2718 was right for the other two questions, 2b and 2c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

KK and do you know any answers for the five attachments I listed above?

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

For 2c, I would also say that the average of her test scores is lower than her claim that she is doing well by getting 85s.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

For the first attachment about the middle school grades, the answer would be the second choice because their is more space between the bars so you can actually tell the amount of difference between the 6, 7, and 8th grades.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

The one about the pizza: the bars are in between the intervals. Such as, Luigi's Cafe and Big Al's. To more accurately show the info, you would need to know the actual price of the pizza instead of just putting the bar in between two intervals. So what do you think should be done to more accurately show the price of the pizza?

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

The third one: the trend is moving upward from left to right. So does that mean positive, negative, or no correlation? (No correlation means the dots are scattered all over the place.)

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

The fourth one about shoe and age: what do you think? Think about how shoe sizes are related to a person's age. Does your shoe size get bigger or smaller as you age? The graph should move the same way as your answer.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

for your fifth attachment, do the same thing. what's the relationship with the number of children someone has and what their shoe size is? Is there a relationship at all. Tell me what you think for all these questions based on what I wrote to you so we can find the correct answer from there.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.. Please may you right the answers as A B C D.... ? thank you for your time

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

I can but I wanted you to find the answer and check with me so that you understand it. Whatever I wrote should easily help you find the answer on your own.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So my answers are B A B C C Is this correct if not please correct me

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

For number 6 about shoe sizes and the number of children in the family you said C which is "positive trend". A positive trend would mean that the larger the number of children in a family, the bigger the person's shoe size. Do you agree with that ^?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

Yeah it doesn't make sense. It doesnt matter how many children are in your family to determine someone's shoe size. Do you agree with that? ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So its negative correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So are all the rest of the answers correct?

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

Negative means that The smaller someone's shoe size, the less children they have. Do you agree? ^

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

And yes besides 6, all other answers are correct. Good job :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks ur awesome .. And no I do not agree^

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

Thanks youre awesome too. :) And so which statement do you agree with? That it doesnt matter what your shoe size is compared to how many kids in your family?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

C means postitive trend which means the larger the number of children in a family, the bigger the person's shoe size.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

do you understand why C cannot be the right answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

okay, so which one is? or what makes sense in a situation like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B?

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

Yep, but why do you say B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because either way we would get a weird answer.. Like if we say c then the number of children in a family relates to a shoe and all that stuff

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

True.. but also because there is no relationship between how many kinds in a family and a shoe size. Like a lot of kids doesnt mean you have a big shoe. And a little doesnt mean you have a small shoe.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

There's no relationship, so that means the dots are going to scattered all over the place bcause everyone that is surveyed will have different answers.

OpenStudy (ny,ny):

So good job :) Yes the answer is no trend.
