ER Visits for Injuries The graph shows the rates of visits to the emergency room (ER) for injuries by gender and by age. Note that we are concerned with the rate per 100 people of that age and gender in the population. (Source: National Safety Council 2004)
a. Why does the National Safety Council give us rates instead of numbers of visits?
b. For which ages are the males more likely than the females to have an ER visit for an injury? For which ages are the males and females similar? For which ages do the females have more visits?

- Examine the Variables: Carefully review and note the names of all variables in the dataset. Examples of these variables include: Mileage (mpg) Number of Cylinders (cyl) Displacement (disp) Horsepower (hp) Research: Google to understand these variables. Statistical Analysis: Select mpg variable, and perform the following statistical tests. Once you are done with these tests using mpg variable, repeat the same with hp Mean Median First Quartile (Q1) Second Quartile (Q2) Third Quartile (Q3) Fourth Quartile (Q4) 10th Percentile 70th Percentile Skewness Kurtosis Document Your Results: In RStudio: Before running each statistical test, provide a heading in the format shown at the bottom. “# Mean of mileage – Your name’s command” In Microsoft Word: Once you've completed all tests, take a screenshot of your results in RStudio and paste it into a Microsoft Word document. Make sure that snapshots are very clear. You will need multiple snapshots. Also transfer these results to the…arrow_forward2 (VaR and ES) Suppose X1 are independent.
