Among fatal plane crashes that occurred during the past 55 years, 553 were due to pilot error, 79 were due to other human error, 288 were due to weather, 533 were due to mechanical problems, and 111 were due to sabotage. g Construct the relative frequency distribution. What is the most serious threat to aviation safety, and can anything be done about it? --..- Complete the relative frequency distribution below. Relative Cause Frequency % Pilot error Other human error Weather % Mechanical problems % Sabotage % (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Among fatal plane crashes that occurred during the past 70 years, 684 were due to pilot error, 97 were due to other human error, 679 were due to weather, 240 were due to mechanical problems, and 218 were due to sabotage. Construct the relative frequency distribution. What is the most serious threat to aviation safety, and can anything be done about it? Complete the relative frequency distribution below.

A random sample of 25 Berkeley College students was asked, “How many hours per week typically do you work outside the home?” Their responses were as follows: {0, 0, 15, 20, 30, 40, 30, 20, 35, 35, 28, 15, 20, 25, 25, 30, 5, 10, 30, 24, 28, 30, 35, 15, 15} a. Find the mean, the median and the mode of hours worked outside the home for the sample data. Show all your work to justify your answer. b. Use the above data to complete the following table summarizing the number of hours worked outside the home. Express the relative frequency as a percent. Class  Tally   Frequency    Relative Frequency  0-10 11-20 21-30 31-40 Total c. Find the five-number summary of the hours worked outside of the home by the 25 Berkeley College students.

Indicate whether the following five number summary corresponds most likely to a distribution that is skewed to the left, skewed to the right, or symmetric.                                            106, 117, 121, 167, 222 Skewed to the left Skewed to the right Symmetric

Does it seem to you that people tend to be absent more on some days of the week than on others? Recently, a major biotechnology firm collected data with the hope of determining whether or not its employees were more likely to be absent on some weekdays than on others. The firm examined a random sample of 130 employee absences. The distribution of these 130 absences is shown in the table below. The observed frequency for each category (each weekday) is shown in the first row of numbers. The second row of numbers contains the frequencies expected for a sample of 130 employees if employee absences at the firm are equally likely on each of the five weekdays. The bottom row of numbers contains the following value for each of the categories.

These next questions come after part B.   Which of the statements correctly describes the relationship between the mean and median in the histogram of the number of servings of fruit per day claimed by the 7474 seventeen‑year‑old girls?   A) The mean and median are about equal because the distribution is right‑skewed.   B) The mean is larger than the median because the distribution is right‑skewed.   C) The median is larger than the mean because the distribution is right‑skewed.   D) There is not enough information to tell us about the relationship between the mean and median in the histogram.   (c) In general, you cannot find the exact values of median, quartiles, or mean from the histogram.   What is special about the histogram of the number of servings of fruit that allows you to do this? Select an answer choice.   A) We know exactly how many observations fall in each bin because of the way the bins are constructed.   B) The sample size only consists of only 74…

A researcher who studies mental health is interested in the length of time (in days) that a patient stays in the hospital after they have presented to emergency having suicidal ideation. The researcher follows the first 30 patients during the month of January and follows them until each one of them is released. Below is the histogram of the data obtained from the 30 patients. 1. What is the shape of this distribution and please construct a frequency table. Given the shape and type of data, which measure of central tendency would you be more likely to report? Why?
