Question
Chapter 1.1, Problem 1.11E
a)
To determine
To find individuals.
a)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 1.11E
The individuals are television programs and newspaper reports.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Find a current copy of the Nielsen television ratings. (Many local newspapers report these ratings weekly.)
First need to know what is mean by individual.
Individuals are the objects described by the set of the data.
Therefore, in this case, the individuals are television programs and newspaper reports that are in the top ten during this week.
b)
To determine
To find variables.
b)
Expert Solution
Answer to Problem 1.11E
The variables are programs, ads, ratings and # viewers.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Find a current copy of the Nielsen television ratings. (Many local newspapers report these ratings weekly.)
There are might be multiple variables which describe the ratings. As per my point of view, variables are programs, ads, ratings and # viewers.
c)
To determine
To explain how data produced.
c)
Expert Solution
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Find a current copy of the Nielsen television ratings. (Many local newspapers report these ratings weekly.)
The data are produced based on the number of viewers and the rating given by all television programs. This data would be useful to decide top ratings.
