(4) Explain the following terms using basic language, as if you are explaining them to people who are new to statistics: a) Missing data b) Outliers

Marco enjoys playing hockey in his spare time. In his past 6 seasons, the number of goals he has scored each season is as follows: [18,15,21,24,16,16] (a) What is the mean?

Scenario: A guidance counselor wanted to know if anxiety differs based on time (first day of class in relation to the last day of class), and if this differs based on year in school (as a freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior). She collected data on a single group of students across their entire high school career at these eight time points — first and last day of freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior year. Anxiety was measured using a standardized scale ranging from 0 — 50, with higher scores indicating greater anxiety. Question: If p = .014 for the interaction of Time x Academic Year, what should the researcher conclude?   Group of answer choices   The interaction is not significant; no additional analyses are needed to interpret it. The interaction is significant; no additional analyses are needed to interpret it. The interaction is not significant; run correlated groups t-tests for post hoc analyses. The interaction is significant; for post hoc analyses, split the file…

You saw back in Chapter 2 that the mean, median, mode, and midrange are used to indicate where data is centered in a data set, or in other words what a typical value in the set is. A question that is often asked is, "If they're all supposed to do the same thing, why is there more than one?" Isn't one enough? In this exercise, you will be given two small sets of data. For each set, a. find the mean, median, mode and midrange b. in your opinion, decide which of the measures BEST represents all the values in the set (best indicates a typical value), and which one does this the WORST. c. post your responses and justify them by explaining why Don't forget to respond to at least one of your classmate's posts. With this exercise, "more is better." I'll elaborate after the deadline. • Set A: the salaries of 10 employees at a company (in thousands of dollars): 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 50, 500 • Set B: the grades of 9 students on an exam: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 100, 100, 100
