Question
Chapter 3.1, Problem 3.2E
(a)
To determine
To explain the 80th percentile of his all races and the 50th percentile in the league.
(a)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
A percentile defines that a certain percent of data falls less than that now the 80th percentile of all his races so far means that his performance is better than 80% of the previous his performance, while the 50th percentile in league means that the runner is better than the 50% of the other racers.
(b)
To determine
To explain the 50th percentile all her swim meet and 80th percentile in league swim meet.
(b)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
The 50th percentile of all her swim meet means that the performance of her is better than her 50% of the earlier swim meet and the 80th percentile in league swim meet means that her performance in league is better than 80% of the other swimmers.

- In a study of how students give directions, forty volunteers were given the task ofexplaining to another person how to reach a destination. Researchers measured thefollowing five aspects of the subjects’ direction-giving behavior:• whether a map was available or if directions were given from memory without a map,• the gender of the direction-giver,• the distances given as part of the directions,• the number of times directions such as “north” or “left” were used,• the frequency of errors in directions. Identify each of the variables in this study, and whether each is quantitative orqualitative. For each quantitative variable, state whether it is discrete or continuous. Was this an observational study or an experimental study?
