Exploring One–Variable Data
What statistical approach should be utilized to determine whether city district is independent of restaurant type preferences as displayed in a cross-tabulation when no specific pattern is hypothesized?
Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel Test Holding Another Variable Constant
Fisher's Exact Test Given The Small Sample Size
Chi-Square Test For Independence
Z-Test For Comparing Proportions Across Districts
When summarizing survey results involving one categorical variable, what should you use to show proportions for all categories?
Pie chart
Stem-and-leaf plot
Line graph
Time plot
What impact does increasing sample size have when creating frequency tables for categorical data concerning student transportation methods to school?
It often eliminates outliers and anomalies from data representation completely.
It can provide more reliable insights into actual transportation trends among students.
It makes it possible to use pie charts instead of frequency tables.
It decreases overall accuracy since there could be more recording errors.
In a frequency table displaying the favorite ice cream flavors of 100 students, if "chocolate" accounts for 22% of the responses, how many students chose "chocolate" as their favorite flavor?
22 students
30 students
18 students
25 students
What is the purpose of using tallies (e.g., ||||) in a frequency table?
To calculate the relative frequencies
To create a bar graph representation
To represent the raw data values
To count the frequency of each category
What impact does increased variation among outcomes have on interpreting relative frequencies in a single categorical variable's distribution?
increased varability often leads to narrower confidence intervals improvingthe precisionof estiates derived from teh distriibution
Increased variation can obscure patterns making interpreting relative frequencies less straightforward
increased variatiy means you can use your relative freqs as probabilities so they hold throuhout other scenarios
increased variabiity means you can use your realtive freqs as probabilties so they hold throughout other scenarios
When comparing percentages across different categories within a contingency table, why would one use column percentages instead of raw data counts?
Raw data counts provide an unstandardized comparison leading to possible misinterpretation due to sample size variation
Column percentages enhance visual interpretation by exaggerating differences between categories
Row percentages give better comparative insights regarding overall totals rather than category-specific analysis
Column percentages standardize comparisons when sample sizes differ between groups

Which of the following statements about relative frequency tables is true?
The sum of the relative frequencies is always 1.
The sum of the relative frequencies is always greater than 1.
The sum of the relative frequencies is always less than 1.
The sum of the relative frequencies can be any value.
If an analysis involves several responses per subject across different treatment conditions in order to compare response rates among treatments what appropriate design should statisticians consider?
Independent Samples T-test
Multivariate Analysis Of Covariance
Repeated Measures Loglinear Model
Simple Linear Regression
What is the purpose of using relative frequencies in data analysis?
To compare data values to a reference value
To understand the proportion of each category in relation to the total
To identify outliers in the data
To calculate the median of the data set
