Chemists need to measure the temperature when performing chemistry experiments. What is the level of the data of the heat measured in degrees centigrade?
ordinal
nominal
ratio
exponential
interval
The accompanying data contains the depth (in kilometers) and magnitude, measured using the Richter Scale, of all earthquakes in a particular region over the course of a week. Depth is the distance below the surface at which the earthquake
originates. A one unit increase in magnitude represents ground shaking ten times as strong (an earthquake with magnitude 4 is ten times as strong as an earthquake with magnitude 3). Complete parts (a) through (d) below.

(a) Find the mean, median, range, standard deviation, and quartiles for both the depth and magnitude of the earthquakes. Based on the values of the mean, median, and quartiles conjecture the shape of the distribution for depth and magnitude.
