Atlanta area animal shelters euthanize more animals per year than most other major city shelters. The following stem-and-leaf display shows the number of homeless cats and dogs that had to be euthanized each year in the Atlanta area for the period 1985-2004. Describe the distribution (shape, center, spread, unusual features). Choose the best answer for the question above: a. The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is unimodal, ranging from 81,100 to 90,100 euthanized. The center of the distribution is at around 85,500. b. The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is skewed to the right, and has several modes, with gaps in between. One mode is clustered between 87,000 and 90,000 euthanized, a second mode at 84,000, and a third mode with a cluster between 81,000 and 82,000. c.The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is bimodal. The upper cluster is between 89,000 and 90,000 euthanized, with a center at around 89,500. The lower cluster is between 81,000 and 82,000 euthanized, with a center at around 81,100. d. The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is skewed to the right, with a center at around 85,500. The number of cats and dogs euthanized each year ranges from 81,100 to 90,100. e.The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is bimodal. The upper cluster is between 87,000 and 90,000 euthanized, with a center at around 88,600. The lower cluster is between 81,000 and 82,000 euthanized, with a center at around 81,100.

Question

Atlanta area animal shelters euthanize more animals per year than most other major city shelters. The following stem-and-leaf display shows the number of homeless cats and dogs that had to be euthanized each year in the Atlanta area for the period 1985-2004. Describe the distribution (shape, center, spread, unusual features).

Choose the best answer for the question above:

a. The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is unimodal, ranging from 81,100 to 90,100 euthanized. The center of the distribution is at around 85,500.

b. The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is skewed to the right, and has several modes, with gaps in between. One mode is clustered between 87,000 and 90,000 euthanized, a second mode at 84,000, and a third mode with a cluster between 81,000 and 82,000.

c.The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is bimodal. The upper cluster is between 89,000 and 90,000 euthanized, with a center at around 89,500. The lower cluster is between 81,000 and 82,000 euthanized, with a center at around 81,100.

d. The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is skewed to the right, with a center at around 85,500. The number of cats and dogs euthanized each year ranges from 81,100 to 90,100.

e.The distribution of the number of cats and dogs that were euthanized is bimodal. The upper cluster is between 87,000 and 90,000 euthanized, with a center at around 88,600. The lower cluster is between 81,000 and 82,000 euthanized, with a center at around 81,100.

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
