Chapter 4, Problem 4.4P

$\boxed{SOC}$ In problem 3.5 at the end of Chapter 3, you calculated measures of central tendency for four variables for 15 respondents. Two of those variables are reproduced here. Calculate the mean (if necessary), the range, and the standard deviation for each variable. What information is added by the measures of dispersion? Write a paragraph summarizing these statistics.

Respondent	Age	Attitude on Abortion (High score = Strong Opposition)
A	18	10
B	20	9
C	21	8
D	30	10
E	25	7
F	26	7
G	19	9
H	29	6
I	31	10
J	55	5
K	32	4
L	28	3
M	23	2
N	24	1
O	32	9

3.5 $\boxed{SOC}$ Data have been gathered on four variables for 15 respondents (see the following table). Find and report the appropriate measure of central tendency for each variable. (On the “Attitude on Abortion” scale, a high score indicates strong opposition.)

Respondent	Marital Status	Racial/Ethnic Group	Age	Attitude on Abortion
A	Single	White	18	10
B	Single	Hispanic	20	9
C	Widowed	White	21	8
D	Married	White	30	10
E	Married	Hispanic	25	7
F	Married	White	26	7
G	Divorced	Black	19	9
H	Widowed	White	29	6
I	Divorced	White	31	10
J	Married	Black	55	5
K	Widowed	Asian American	32	4
L	Married	Native American	28	3
M	Divorced	White	23	2
N	Married	White	24	1
O	Divorced	Black	32	9
