Hair color would be classified as categorical data. Categorical data consist of names or labels that are not numbers representing counts or measurements.

Six different​ second-year medical students at Bellevue Hospital measured the blood pressure of the same person. The systolic readings​ (in mmHg) are listed below. Find the​ range, variance, and standard deviation for the given sample data. If the​ subject's blood pressure remains constant and the medical students correctly apply the same measurement​ technique, what should be the value of the standard​ deviation?

Ideally, the standard deviation would be zero because all the measurements should be the same.

A bar chart and a Pareto chart both use bars to show frequencies of categories of categorical data. What characteristic distinguishes a Pareto chart from a bar​ chart, and how does that characteristic help us in understanding the​ data?

In a Pareto​ chart, the bars are always arranged in descending order according to frequencies. The Pareto chart helps us understand data by drawing attention to the more important​ categories, which have the highest frequencies. A bar chart uses bars of equal width to show frequencies of categorical data. The vertical scale represents frequencies or relative frequencies. The horizontal scale identifies the different categories of qualitative data. When one wants a bar chart to draw attention to the more important​ categories, one can use a Pareto​ chart, which is a bar chart for categorical​ data, with the added stipulation that the bars are arranged in descending order according to frequencies. The bars decrease in height from left to right.

Identify which type of sampling is​ used: random,​ systematic, convenience,​ stratified, or cluster. To determine customer opinion of their pricingpricing​, AmtrakAmtrak randomly selects 4040 trainstrains during a certain week and surveys all passengers on the trainspassengers on the trains. Which type of sampling is​ used?

In a random sample members from the population are selected in such a way that each individual member has an equal chance of being selected. In systematic sampling​, select some starting point and then select every kth element in the population. With convenience sampling​, simply use results that are very easy to get. With stratified sampling​, subdivide the population into at least two different subgroups​ (or strata) so that subjects within the same subgroup share the same​ characterisitcs, then draw a sample from each subgroup​ (or stratum). In cluster sampling​, first divide the population area into sections​ (or clusters), then randomly select some of the​ clusters, and then choose all the members from those selected clusters. Cluster

Determine whether the results below appear to have statistical​ significance, and also determine whether the results have practical significance. In a study of a weight loss​ program, 4 subjects lost an average of 44 lbs. It is found that there is about a 21​% chance of getting such results with a diet that has no effect. Does the weight loss program have statistical​ significance? Does the weight loss program have practical​ significance?

Results are said to be statistically significant if they are unlikely to occur solely by chance. No, the program is not statistically significant because the results are likely to occur by chance. The statistical significance of a study can differ from its practical significance. It is possible​ that, based on the available sample​ data, statistical methods can be used to reach a conclusion that a weight loss program is​ effective, but common sense might suggest that the program does not make enough of a difference to justify its use or to be practical. Yes, the program is practically significant because the amount of lost weight is large enough to be considered practically significant.

Determine whether the source given below has the potential to create a bias in a statistical study. A certain medical organization tends to oppose the use of meat and dairy products in our​ diets, and that organization has received hundreds of thousands of dollars in funding from an animal rights foundation.

There does appear to be a potential to create a bias. There is an incentive to produce results that are in line with the​ organization's creed and that of its funders. In this​ case, there is a potential to create a bias because the medical organization could have an incentive to produce results favorable to its​ funder, the animal rights foundation. One should be very wary of a study in which the sponsor can somehow profit from the results because there is an incentive to produce biased results.

To learn to distinguish between statistical conclusions that are likely to be valid and those that are seriously flawed Statistics is the science of planning studies and​ experiments, obtaining​ data, and then​ organizing, summarizing,​ presenting, analyzing,​ interpreting, and drawing conclusions based on the data. Statisticians universally agree that statistical thinking is​ good, but there are different views of what actually constitutes statistical thinking. Statistical thinking involves critical thinking and the ability to make sense of results. Statistical thinking might involve determining whether results are statistically significant.

Based on the preceding​ results, does nausea appear to be an adverse reaction that should be of concern to those who use the​ drug? - The drug does appear to be the cause of some nausea. Since the nausea rate is still quite low​ (about 44​%), it appears to be an adverse reaction that does not occur very often.

Determine which of the four levels of measurement​ (nominal, ordinal,​ interval, ratio) is most appropriate. Ages of children: 3 comma 4 comma 5 comma 6 comma and 7Ages of children: 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 Choose the correct answer below.

he nominal level of measurement is characterized by data that consist of​ names, labels, or categories only. Data are at the ordinal level of measurement if they can be arranged in some order. The interval level of measurement is like the ordinal​ level, with the additional property that the difference between any two data values is meaningful. The ratio level of measurement is the interval level with the additional property that there is also a natural zero starting point.

The table below summarizes results from a study of people who refused to answer survey questions. If one of the subjects is randomly​ selected, what is the probability that the selected person refused to​ answer? Does the probability value suggest that refusals are a problem for​ pollsters?
