Question
A question on a class survey asked, "Estimate the number of times a week, on average, that you read a daily newspaper. (a) Is this variable continuous or discrete? Explain. O Continuous, the value does not have to be a whoile number O Discrete, the value does not have to be a whole number O Continuous, the value has to be a whole number Discrete, the value has to be whole number. (b) The histogram shown gives results of this variable when this survey was administered to a class of 36 University of Georgia students. Report the following (i) minimum response category (ii) maximum response category (iii) number of students who did not read the newspaper at all (iv) mode (c) Describe the shape of this distribution. O bimodal O unimodal and somewhat skewed to the left O unimodal and somewhat skewed to the rightExplanation / Answer
a) Discrete, the value has to be a whole number
b) Minimum response category -> 0 (category with min value)
Maximum response category -> 9 (category with max value)
Number of students who didn’t read newspaper at all = 2
Mode = 3 (category with highest frequency)
c) Unimodal and somewhat skewed to the right.
