@Shadow @dude

Shadow:

What did you choose for the first one?

8bithelix:

12.5 as a guess since idk how to do this

Shadow:

"What is the percentage of runners who do not bike?" This is the question. Since they are only asking us to look at runners, we only look at the runner row denoted by "Run." Then we look at the "Do not bike" column as they are asking for the percentage of runners who do not bike. You grab the number '.103' and convert the decimal into a percentage by moving the decimal two places to the right. You get: 10.3%

Shadow:

@8bithelix Does that make sense?

8bithelix:

yes

Shadow:

For the second one, you are correct. http://prntscr.com/jkb9ck Simple draw a line with a slope of 1. If a point falls below the line, then it is an employee who sold more cars than trucks.

Shadow:

For the third one, what are you thinking?

8bithelix:

no acssociation

8bithelix:

wait no

8bithelix:

weak positive

Shadow:

Correct :)

Shadow:

This is because they are both increasing, but are scattered all over the scatter plot. If the data points were closer together, it would be a strong positive.

8bithelix:

indeed

8bithelix:

idk about the next one tho

Shadow:

http://rpsychologist.com/d3/correlation/ You can try playing with the slide to help you visualize what the answer may be.

Shadow:

You have probably already figured out that there is a correlation and it is positive. You just need to determine the value.

8bithelix:

okok its /95

8bithelix:

.95*/

Shadow:

How did you find 0.95?

8bithelix:

looking at the thing you gave me, when the number rises the line starts to tilt upwards so i went off of that and looked at the position of the dots as well, so it had to be 1 or .95

8bithelix:

more confident on 1 than .95

Shadow:

Well 1 only occurs when the dots all align together directly on the line.

8bithelix:

so its .95 i guess?

Shadow:

Correct

8bithelix:

next question

Shadow:

Do you know what a lurking variable is?

8bithelix:

They are neither the explanatory nor response variable of interest

8bithelix:

They are neither the explanatory nor response variable of interest

Shadow:

Basically it's an underlying variable that the people conducting a study may be unaware of.

Shadow:

So I'm leaning towards what you put for your answer (population).

Shadow:

I agree with you on #6 as well

Shadow:

For #7 which one did you go with?

8bithelix:

i went with c

Shadow:

why

Shadow:

It's not C D:

Shadow:

@8bithelix hello?

8bithelix:

@Shadow sorry im busy doing biology rn but um

Shadow:

The line of best fit tries to go through as many data points as possible. C completely misses all of them.

Shadow:

Just try see which one would hit the most points

8bithelix:

d? i tried doing this in mathway but i cant do the y symbol thing and the closes i got was D

Shadow:

http://prntscr.com/jkcbt7

8bithelix:

ohhhh

8bithelix:

so its a

Shadow:

Correct
