Week Five Assignment

Chapter 16 Making Research Decisions #2

Suppose you were preparing two-way tables of percent- ages for the following pairs of variables. How would you run the percentages?

a. Age and consumption of breakfast cereal

b. Family income and confidence about the family’s future.

c. Marital status and sports participation

I would show all of the data by using frequency tables. I would also use the bar and pie charts when illustrating marital status and sports participation. A pareto diagram would probably be best to illustrate family income and confidence about the family’s future.

Chapter 16 From Concept to Practice #7
