What kind of data (categorical or quantitative) can be displayed through a bar graph or pie chart?

Categorical

100

Which measure of center is most sensitive to outliers?

The mean. 

100

Define z score. 

How many standard deviations a data value is away from the mean. 

100

Name the direction of correlation. 

Positive

200

Identify the shape of the distribution. 

Left skew

200

Which are better measures for this distribution: mean and standard deviation or median and IQR? 

Median and IQR because the data is skewed

Almost all medical schools in the United States require students to take the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). The total score of the four sections on the test ranges from 472 to 528. In spring of 2019, the mean score was 500.9, with a standard deviation of 10.6. What proportion of students taking the MCAT had a score over 510?

19.5%

300

Interpret r in context of the problem. 

The amount of sleep you get the night before a test and your test score is found to have r=0.58. 

There is a moderate positive correlation between amount of sleep the night before a test and test score. 

This means that as amount of sleep increases, test scores increase (moderately speaking).

The percentages do not add to 100%, which means there are overlapping categories (individuals fit into more than one category)
