Question
A consumer interest group is tracking the percentage of household income spent on gasoline over the past 30 years. Which graphical display would be more useful, a histogram or a time-series graph. Why?
a. A histogram because the change in data over time is the most relevant issue.
b. A time-series graph because the change in data over time is the most relevant issue.
c. A time-series graph because therange of values for the data is the most relevant issue.
6. A histogram because the range of values for the data is the most relevant issue.
b. A time-series graph because the change in data over time is the most relevant issue.
c. A time-series graph because the

- Part 2: The graph below represents the relative frequency of heads that occur (number of heads divided by the total number of tosses) versus the number of times the coin was tossed for the first io00 tosses. The table shows these values, and in addition, the total number of heads for the 991st to 1000th tosses. Use this information to answer the questions below. Long Term Relative Frequency 0.9 0.8 0.7 0.6 0.5 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 Number of Coin Flips Long Term Relative Frequency Number of 991 992 993 994 995 996 997 998 999 1000 Tosses Number of Heads 511 512 513 513 514 515 515 515 515 515 Relative Frequency of Heads 0.5156 0.5161 0.5166 0.5161 0.5166 0.5171 0.5165 0.516 0.5155 0.515 d) Since the coin is fair, on average, approximately half of the tosses should be heads. So when the coin is tossed 1000 times approximately 500 of the tosses should be heads.

According to the Pew Research Center (2015), recent immigrants are better educated than earlier immigrants to the United States. The change was attributed to the availability of better education in each region or country of origin.

The ratings are 1 (lowest quality) to 5 (highest quality) and 1 (hardest) to 5 (easiest). The numbers given are averages for each professor. Assume the trend is linear, find the correlation, and comment on what it means. Calculate the correlation. r = (Round to three decimal places as needed.) Comment on the meaning of the correlation. Choose the correct interpretation below. OA. The professors that have high easiness scores tend to also have low quality scores.. OB. Being "easy" as a professor causes students to regard the professor as having a higher quality. OC. The professors that have high easiness scores tend to also have high quality scores. OD.
