22
Which is an example of a bad question to ask in a questionnaire?
23
The mean is the same as which value?
24
What does the range of a data set measure?
25
Which of the following is a limitation of using only the range to describe a data set?
Одговорити(A)
It only considers the extreme values, not the distribution of data.
26
Why is calculating the mean using class midpoints an estimate?
Одговорити(A)
Because you can't know the individual values within each class.

33
What is a frequency table?
Одговорити(C)
A table of tallies with totals
