- Given that Cheryl is collecting data on car color, what type of data is she working with?arrow_forwardProf. Henderson, always interested in improving her teaching effectiveness, has decided to undertake a careful analysis of her student evaluations from the past several years. The last question on the student evaluation form, Question 17, is "Would you recommend this professor to another student?" A matter of special concern to Prof. Henderson is how she is viewed by students of different majors. Each of Prof. Henderson's students can be placed into a category according to the student's major school. (Students who have majors from more than one school are not included.) So, there are two variables under consideration: student's major school ("School of Social Sciences", "School of Engineering", or "School of Physical Sciences") and answer to Question 17 ("No", "Maybe", or "Yes"). The contingency table below contains a summary of the responses to Question 17 for a random sample of 500 of Prof. Henderson's students.
