- Match the definition to the correct vocabulary word. 1. a statistical tool that shows the observed frequencies of two variables; one variable is listed in a row and another variable is listed in columns 2. when a relative frequency is determined by a row or column 3. the ratio of a frequency of a particular category to the entire set of data 4. the ratio of the sum of the joint frequencies in a row of a column over the total number of data values 5. the ratio of individual occurrences over the total occurrences a. joint frequency b. relative frequency c. marginal frequency d. two-way table e. conditional relative frequencyarrow_forwardB. What is the best predicted temperature for a time when a bug is chirping at the rate of 3000 chirps per minute? The best predicted temperature when a bug is chirping at 3000 chirps per minute is____°F. C. What is wrong with this predicted value? The first variable should have been the dependent variable. It is unrealistically high. The value 3000 is far outside of the range of observed values. It is only an approximation. An unrounded value would be considered accurate. Nothing is wrong with this value. It can be treated as an accurate prediction.arrow_forwardP3arrow_forward

- 8. High levels of cholesterol in the blood increase the risk of heart disease. For 14-year-old boys, the distribution of blood cholesterol is approximately Normal with a mean of 170 milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood (mg/dl) and a standard deviation of 20 mg/dl. Which equation could be used to solve for the 30th percentile of this distribution? x-170 (a)-0.30 = 20 (b) 0.30 = X-170 20 (c)-0.52 = (c) 0.30 = X-170 20 X-170 (d) 0.52= 20 170-x 20arrow_forwardThe table below shows the relationship between the altitude of the atmosphere and corresponding temperature.

A psychologist conducted a study on the relationship between introversion and shyness. The values are results for scales of introversion and shyness. High positive scores on each scale indicate high introversion or shyness; and high negative scores indicate low introversion or shyness. Data collected from 10 people as follows: Introversion 4 -7 -1 0 6 7 -4 -9 -5 8 Shyness 11 -7 -1 -3 0 7 -1 -8 -1 5 a) Compute the correlation coefficient relating introversion and shyness scores. b) Find the regression equation which predicts introversion from shyness. c) What introversion score would you predict from a shyness score of 7?arrow_forward
