Textbook Question
Chapter 15.3, Problem 6E
A technician is often asked to read graphs drawn by a machine. The machine records measurements by plot ting them on a graph. Any field in which quality control or continuous information is needed might use this way of recording measurements. Illustration 4 shows a microbarograph used by the weather service to record atmospheric pressure in inches. For example, the reading on Monday at 8:00 p.m. was 29.34 in.
ILLUSTRATION 4
Microbarograph (atmospheric pressure in inches)
Use the microbarograph in Illustration 4 to answer Exercises 4–8.
What was the lowest atmospheric pressure recorded?

Illustration 9.7. The mean weight of 150 students in certaid
class is 60 kilograms. The mean weight of boys in the class is 70
kg and that of the girls is 55 kg. Find the number of boys and the
number of girls in the class.
When trying to visualize data, it is always best to
A. ignore the data and draw a bell shaped curve
B. sketch out either a frequency graph or scatter plot
C. refer to the tables in the back of the book in the appendix
D . double check your calculations by plugging your solutions into the original equation
One of the variables most often included in surveys is income.
Sometimes the question is phrased "What is your annual income (in thousands of dollars)?"
In other surveys, the responded is asked to "Place an X in the circle corresponding to your annual income
level," given a number of ranges from which to choose.
(a) For the first format (state your income), what is the level of measurement? (nominal, ordinal,
interval, or ratio)
(b) For the second format (pick one choice for your income range), what is the level of measurement?
(nominal, ordinal, interval, or ratio)
