Question 9 (1 point)
Often, a large collection of data points are generated and graphed as a scatter plot
and then a line can be added. What purpose does the line serve?
To show the overall trend in the data to understand potential relationships
between the variables.
To connect all the dots so the sequence of data collection can be represented.
It will enable us to remove all the random dots and just keep the line so the
graph isn't so messy.
why is the mixed method a better methodology for research such as finding health disparities in a certain health issue?

She decides to test this out in her two 6th grade science classes. In both classes she gives the same amount and type of notes and homework, but in one class she does labs and the other class she doesn’t. At the end of the unit, she gives both classes the same unit test and compares the class averages.what is the Independent variable: what is the Dependent variable:what is the Hypothesis:what is the Control group:what is the Experimental group:what is the Constants:what is the Possible threats to accuracy of results?arrow_forwardWhat is the topic in statistics that is the most difficult ? Please be specific here. Saying “I don’t understand anything” or “I don’t understand module 7” are very vague and difficult for people to help with. Instead, try and narrow it down to something like “I am struggling computing Cohen’s d” or “I am struggling to determine whether we reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.”arrow_forward
