What are the characteristics of a population for which a mean/median/mode would be appropriate? Inappropriate? The analysis of data begins with descriptive statistics such as the mean‚ median‚ mode‚ range‚ standard deviation‚ variance‚ standard error of the mean‚ and confidence intervals. These statistics are used to summarize data and provide information about the sample from which the data were drawn and the accuracy with which the sample represents the population of interest. The mean‚ median

Alcohol and Drug Abuse Statistics Alcohol is the oldest drug around. It is also the most widely-used and almost 50 percent of people aged 12 and over have consumed alcohol in the United States. Most people are able to consume alcohol responsibly. However‚ for one reason or another‚ some people abuse alcohol and develop addictions.

simple random sampling. Stem plot A stemplot (or stem-and-leaf display)‚ in statistics‚ is a device for presenting quantitative data in a graphical format‚ similar to a histogram‚ to assist in visualizing the shape of a distribution. Unlike histograms‚ stemplots retain the original data to at least two significant digits‚ and put the data in order‚ thereby easing the move to order-based inference and non-parametric statistics. To construct a stem plot‚ the observations must first be sorted in ascending

PEARSON’S PRODUCT-MOMENT CORRELATION COEFFICIENT ANSWERS TO EXERCISE 23 Question 1 The r value for the relationship between Hamstring strength index 60o and the Shuttle run test is -0.149. This r value shows a weak correlation between the two variables‚ as it is less than the 0.3 threshold for significance. Therefore‚ the r value is not significant. Question 2 Between r=1.00 and r=-1.00‚ there is no difference in terms of strength. Both values are on the extreme ends of the spectrum and signify
