Week 1 Assignment BST 322 Construct a frequency distribution table for this set of data in StatCrunch, showing the absolute frequencies, relative frequencies, and cumulative relative frequencies. Would it be advantageous to group the data before constructing a frequency distribution? Why or why not? Construct a Summary Statistics table in StatCrunch to list the n, mean, mode, Skewness and Kurtosis of the data. Paste your work from StatCrunch into your assignment.

What percentage of the nursing home residents had at least 1 fall? 62.5%
b.
What number of falls was the most frequent in this sample? 1 Fall
c.
What number of falls was least frequent in this sample? 9 Falls

Draw a graphic of the frequency distribution of the data in Exercise 5 using StatCrunch. Copy and Paste your graphic from StatCrunch into your Word document submission. Describe the shape of the frequency
distribution in terms of modality and skewness. Is the number of falls normally distributed?

Draw a graphic (bar graph and a pie chart) and of the “marital” status of the data set from Week 1’s Discussion question 2 using StatCrunch (the excel file is named “
Week 1 Discussion Question 2 Data
”). You
can also find the file in the “Course Resources” area. Construct a frequency distribution table (showing the absolute frequencies, relative frequencies, and cumulative relative frequencies for marital status). What percentage of the participants are married? Is it meaningful to calculate the cumulative frequency with this data set? Why or why not? Copy and Paste your graphics (including the frequency table) from StatCrunch into your Word document submission. 3

If the values of the mean, median, and mode are not the same, discuss what this suggests about the shape
of the distribution. Construct a Graphic of the distribution of this data using StatCrunch to prove your point. Copy and Paste your graphic from StatCrunch into your Word document submission.
The mean, median and mode are pretty close. If they were the same it would be normal but since it isn’t the distributions are skewed.
The summary stats show a positive skewed distribution.

It looks like a moderate positive direction judging by the upward direction the line takes.

) in StatCrunch to summarize the relationship for the data presented in Exercise 13. How accurate was your description? Correlation between Systolic and Diastolic: 0.43811963
My description is accurate. The positive number makes it a positive relationship. Also the number is close to +.45 and in the text it states that +.45 is a moderate relationship.

Using StatCrunch, construct a scatterplot that shows the relationship between the two variables (carbon dioxide concentrations and the measured change in Global temperature). Calculate the r
value using StatCrunch. Copy and Paste your work from StatCrunch into your Word document submission. Verbally describe the direction and magnitude of the relationship you find. What does this tell you about Global warming?
The scatterplot has a strong positive relationship. The line and points are going upward and the points are all hugging pretty close
together. The r
value is +0.983 and it is close to +1.00 which is a perfect relationship. The data shows that’s if CO2 Concentrate continuous to increase the temp. will follow. This tells us that increased CO2 concentration is causing Global warming.
Coorelation between CO2 Concentrate (PPM) and Temp. Anomaly (Celcius): 0.998371469

Sheila's doctor is concerned that she may suffer from gestational diabetes (high blood glucose levels during pregnancy). There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if the glucose level is above 140 miligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after having a sugary drink. Sheila's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with μμ = 120 mg/dl and σσ = 10 mg/dl.
(a) If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?(b) If measurements are made on 5 separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion 140 mg/dl, what is the probability that Sheila is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes?
