The data contains the following variables:

DistanceDistance of the site from the river (m)ElevationElevation of the site above the river bed (m)LandUseHow the land is used (Crops, FruitTrees or Pasture)FloodingFlooding frequency (coded as 1 for once in two years, 2 for once in ten years, 3 for once in fifty years)CadmiumSoil cadmium concentration (mg/kg)LogCadmiumlog10(Cadmium)

Question 1

The median elevation of sites is

7.90 m

8.25 m

8.45 m

9.03 m

Question 2

What is the shape of the elevation distribution?

Skewed to the right

Symmetric with outliers

Skewed to the left

Symmetric

Question 3

The distribution of cadmium concentration appears to be skewed to the right. The researchers decided to first log-transform these concentration values, to make the distribution more symmetric, giving the variable LogCadmium. What is the mean of this transformed variable for the sites used for growing fruit trees?

-0.0970

-0.0243

0.1100

0.9190

Question 4

The researchers wanted to know if there is a difference in the mean cadmium levels between the different land uses. What are the residual degrees of freedom in the one-way ANOVA to address this question?
