Each day a hospital records the number of people who come to the emergency room for treatment. In the last week, the observation from Sunday to Saturday are 11, 8, 12, 14, 7, 39, 57. Would you expect the Poisson distribution to better describe, or more poorly describe, the number of weekly admissions to the hospital for a rare disease? Why?

A survey of 30 people was conducted about how many siblings they had. A graph was created that showed the percentage of the survey group, which had each number of siblings. The "frequency" column in the table shows the number of responses that having a certain number of siblings received. Using appropriate and precise statistical terminology, describe the distribution and provide an explanation for the distribution being a certain way.

A researcher who studies mental health is interested in the length of time (in days) that a patient stays in the hospital after they have presented to emergency having suicidal ideation. The researcher follows the first 30 patients during the month of January and follows them until each one of them is released. Below is the histogram of the data obtained from the 30 patients. 1. What is the shape of this distribution and please construct a frequency table. Given the shape and type of data, which measure of central tendency would you be more likely to report? Why?
The popularity of computer, video, online, and virtual reality games has raised concerns that they might negatively affect youth. The data in this exercise are based on a recent survey of 14- to 18-year-olds in Connecticut high schools. The table displays the grade distributions of boys who have and have not played video games.
