(a)
Construct a scatterplot of the data.
A scatterplot has 9 points.
The horizontal axis is labeled "x" and ranges from approximately 0 to 900.
The vertical axis is labeled "y" and ranges from 0 to 4,000.
The points are plotted from left to right in a horizontal band, starting from the middle left of the diagram.
The points are somewhat scattered, becoming more scattered from left to right, and are between the approximate horizontal axis values of 10 and 820 and between the approximate vertical axis values of 100 and 2,000.
A scatterplot has 9 points.
The horizontal axis is…
What is interaction? Provide an example about the design of a study that involves the examination of an interaction effect.
"Researchers found that about 40% of college students in their study binge drink (i.e.,
consuming 5 or more drinks in a short amount of time) and that the vast majority of
campus sexual assaults are fueled by alcohol."
a. Identify the variables of interest and indicate which is the independent and which is the
dependent variable.
b. Identify the classification of the independent variable (discrete or continuous) and explain
the reason for your choice.
c. Discuss what measure of central tendency is the most appropriate for each variable
(independent and dependent variable) making sure to explain why.
