The average income in the state of California is a population parameter. True or False?

Determine whether the data is from a primary or secondary source. Primary       Secondary

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

Given the data set A = {0, 0, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 22, 25, 30} which of the following is a true statement? O There are two modes for the data set. O The mean is greater than the median. O The mean and the median have the same value. O There is no mode for the data.

Complete part C. C. Compute an estimate of the population parameter.  Telephone survey of 2980 adults in certain country, 27% reported they own least one gun. Researchers want to estimate the true percentage of adults in that country that own at least one gun.

Dixie Showtime Movie Theaters, Inc., owns and operates a chain of cinemas in several markets in the southern U.S. The owners would like to estimate weekly gross revenue as a function of advertising expenditures. Data for a sample of eight markets for a recent week follow. Market Mobile Shreveport Jackson Birmingham Little Rock Biloxi New Orleans Baton Rouge Weekly Gross Revenue Television Advertising Newspaper Advertising ($100s) 101.3 51.9 74.8 126.2 137.8 101.4 237.8 219.6 ($100s) 5.0 3.0 4.0 4.3 3.6 3.5 5.0 6.9 + (a) Use the data to develop an estimated regression equation with the amount of television advertising as the independent variable. Let x represent the amount of television advertising. If required, round your answers to three decimal places. For subtractive or negative numbers use a minus sign even if there is a + sign before the blank. (Example: -300) ŷ ($100s) 1.5 3.0 1.5 4.3 4.0 2.3 8.4 5.8 X Test for a significant relationship between television advertising and weekly…

A statistic is a number that... describes a characteristic of a population of scores. describes a characteristic of a sample of scores. is never used to estimate or make a decision about a parameter. summarizes all the individuals a researcher is interested in.

In this problem, we explore the effect on the mean, median, and mode of adding the same number to each data value. Consider the data set 4, 4, 5, 8, 12.   (a) Compute the mode, median, and mean. (Enter your answers to one decimal place.) mode   median       mean   (b) Add 3 to each of the data values. Compute the mode, median, and mean. (Enter your answers to one decimal place.) mode   median       mean

Part c and d? It says it’s wrong.

What is an inherent zero? Describe three examples of data sets that have inherent zeros and three that do not. A. An inherent zero is a value that the variable can take. B. An inherent zero is a zero that implies none. OC. An inherent zero is a zero that occurs in the data set naturally. Select three examples of data sets that have inherent zeros below. A. Maximum wind speed during a hurricane B. Average age of college students in years C. A student's level of happiness measured from 0 to 10 D. Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit E. Average IQ score of a high school class F. Average monthly precipitation in inches Select three examples of data sets that do not have inherent zeros below. A. Average IQ score of a high school class B. A student's level of happiness measured from 0 to 10 C. Average monthly precipitation in inches D. Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit E. Maximum wind speed during a hurricane F. Average age of college students in years
