C. How many hours of professional training took place over the weekend? D. How many hours do you spend each week training for a sports league?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you... can you explain please?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well you do know what a statistic is dont you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A statistic is... ok do you play s sport?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is important

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea tennis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wait why wouldn't it be C then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you play basket ball like I do the statistic is how many hoops I make or how many steals I make

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is just my example. I only play tennis a little.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so wait why wouldn't it be C then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@JellyCakes ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im sorry I meant C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suck at this you know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel sooo bad.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol wait I'm confused now... why wouldn't it be D?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-_-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait hold on let me take a moment to really figure it out.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok does the question ask for just one answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well there are 3 answers. B,C, and D all ask for statistics.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think its the statistic question you think it is... I am taking Algebra and so ik i has to do something with box plots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o.O

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Hm, I think you're both a little confused on this one. A statistical question is a question that cannot be answered with one number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So which one do you think it would be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That makes more sence

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Hm, well, I already have an answer in mind, but what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im sorry. Can you take your medal back? I dont think I deserve it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I confused both of us.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Well, let's look at each answer choice one by one. A is asking "how many professional sports leagues are there?", which can be answered with one number, right? It's the same thing as asking "how many countries are there?", there is only one possible answer for each question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have no clue like jellycakes said i think it b,c and d are very similar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Right, that's why A is not the correct answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B only requires one answer too right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just didn't help you so I don't deserve the meddle.

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

@pflorido: Yup! it can be solved in just one answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it could very well be B, C, or D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But c and d both require 2 answers right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats when i get confused

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Alright, let's look at answer C: C. How many hours of professional training took place over the weekend? This would be a difficult number to find, but there is still only one number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Man.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You were right all along.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH wait nvm i got it! It would be D because it says each week so the number changes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol wow

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

@pflorido: Yup! Good job!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am so confused.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am now ur fan!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But at least you were helped that is all that matters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are u confused about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh nothing now i get it now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Vocaloid and @JellyCakes so u think u can help me with my last question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A group of 12 students participated in a dance competition. Their scores are below: Score (points) 1 2 3 4 5 Number of Students 1 2 4 3 2 Would a dot plot or a histogram best represent the data presented here? Why? A. Histogram, because a large number of scores are reported as ranges B. Histogram, because a small number of scores are reported individually C. Dot plot, because a large number of scores are reported as ranges D. Dot plot, because a small number of scores are reported individually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it is D but I'm not so sure

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

Yup! You got it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha I am good at these!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have done them before

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

There are only 5 scores (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and each of them are reported as separate numbers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wow you truly are the human calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol! Ok thank you guys so much! I am now gonna submit my exam hopefully i did well

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Good luck!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I GOT A 100%!!!!!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Holy SH** GOOD JERB!!!!

Vocaloid (vocaloid):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
