Study Notes
Distance Measurement and Statistics
- The motel manager utilizes the median of five measurements for a more accurate distance estimate to Yosemite Park.
- This approach allows the capture of variability in the actual distance measurement.
Home Selling Prices
- A left-skewed distribution indicates that the maximum price minus the third quartile is less than the first quartile minus the minimum price.
Geyser Eruption Duration
- The histogram of Old Faithful geyser eruptions shows two clusters: one at around 125 seconds and another at 260 seconds, with a maximum range of 250 seconds.
Discrete Variables
- The number of books read in the previous month is an example of a discrete variable.
Categorical Variables
- In the data of the world’s longest roller coasters, "Type" is categorized as a categorical variable.
Video Game Sales Data
- The classification of daily video game sales is quantitative and discrete, reflecting countable and measurable data.
Flight Delay Reasons
- A pie chart indicates that weather is the primary cause of delays, surpassing all other combined reasons.
Histogram Interval Size
- Decreasing interval sizes in a histogram will not affect the sum of the frequencies, which remains constant.
Used Car Prices Distribution
- The distribution of used car prices at the dealership is described as skewed to the right, indicating a concentration of lower prices.
Student Future Plans
- The bar chart shows that undecided responses were 4 greater from Liberty High School compared to Central High School.
