Nannie Mack 2021-06-04You randomly survey shoppers at a supermarket about whether they use reusable bags. Of 60 male shoppers 15 use reusable bags. Of 110 female shoppers, 60 use reusable bags. Organize your results in a two-way table. Include the marginal frequencies.
Globokim8 2021-06-04Draw two scatterplots with positive linear associations but different strengths.
Armorikam 2021-06-04Would you anticipate a scatterplot demonstrating a relationship between "speed of a car" and "time it takes to drive 10 miles" to show a favorable, unfavorable, or no association? Explain your thinking.

snowlovelydayM 2021-05-29Sketch a scatterplot with two groups of cases (business and academic) that illustrates how a strong positive correlation within each group and a negative overall correlation can occur together.
Tazmin Horton 2021-05-28Ruthie did a survey among her classmates comparing the time spent playing video games to the time spent studying. The scatterplot of her data is shown. a. What association can you make from her data? b. Use an ordered pair (x, y) to identify any outliers.

nagasenaz 2021-05-23After a conference, 230 men and 270 women respond to a survey. Of those, 200 men and 230 women say the conference was impactful. Organize these results in a two-way table. Then find and interpret the marginal frequencies.
CheemnCatelvew 2021-05-22At a family reunion, each family member recorded his or her age and height. a. Fully describe the association. b. Copy the scatterplot and draw the trend line. Does your y-intercept make sense in this problem situation?
Kyran Hudson 2021-05-18An observational study is retrospective if it considers only existing data. It is prospective if the study design calls for data to be collected as time goes on. Tell which of the following observational studies are retrospective and which are prospective. A sample of moose in a national park are given ear tags so that naturalists can track their growth, movement, and physical condition during a ten-year study.
ka1leE 2021-05-18Make a scatterplot for the data in each table. Use the scatter plot to identify and clustering or outliers in the data.
Value of Home Over Time
Number of Years Owned: 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21
Value (1,000s of $): 80, 84, 86, 88, 89, 117, 119, 86
Nannie Mack 2021-05-18The college physical education department offered an advanced first aid course last semester. The scores on the comprehensive final exam were normally distributed, and the z scores for some of the students are shown below: Robert, 1.10 Juan, 1.70 Susan, -2.00 Joel, 0.00 Jan, -0.80 Linda, 1.60 If the mean score was μ=150μ=150 with standard deviation σ=20,σ=20, what was the final exam score for each student?
pedzenekO 2021-05-16For the following exercises, enter the data from each table into a graphing calculator and graph the resulting scatter plots. Determine whether the data from the table would likely represent a function that is linear, exponential, or logarithmic.
