Question
1. Skyler decides to compare a person's overall grade average in high school to how good of a break dancer
they think they are. She asks six of her closest grade 12 friends what their overall average is, as well as to
rate how good they think their dance skills are on a scale from 1 to 10. She observes a negative linear
correlation and concludes that people with lower marks are better dancers. In Skyler's study:
a) State one thing wrong with how the dependant variable is measured, and explain why.
b) State one thing wrong with the sampling technique (way the data was collected)? Explain how it could
be improved.
