Daniel surveyed a random sample of 100 students from his middle school to learn more about what type of school lunches are preferred. The table below shows the result of the survey: Hamburgers Spaghetti Pizza Sample #1 13 43 44 Sample #2 20 41 39 Which of the following inferences can be made based on the data?
Pizza is the most preferred lunch.
Spaghetti and pizza are preferred almost equally.
Hamburgers are two times more popular than pizza.
Hamburgers are two times more popular than spaghetti.
Question 11(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (08.03 MC) The two dot plots below compare the forearm lengths of two groups of schoolchildren: Two dot plots are shown one below the other. The title for the top dot plot is Forearm Length, Group A and the title for the bottom plot is Forearm Length, Group B. Below the line for each dot plot is written Length followed by inches in parentheses. There are markings from 9 to 12 on each line at intervals of one. For the top line there are 3 dots above the second mark, 4 dots above the third mark and 3 dots above the fourth mark. For the bottom line there are 3 dots above the first mark, 5 dots above the second mark, and 2 dots above the third mark. Based on visual inspection of the dot plots, which group appears to have the longer average forearm length?
Group A, because seven children have a forearm length longer than 10 inches
Group B, because two children have a forearm length longer than 10 inches
Group A, because one child in the group has the least forearm length of 9 inches
Group B, because three children in the group have the least forearm length of 9 inches
Question 12(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points) (08.02 MC) The two dot plots below show the heights of some sixth graders and some seventh graders: Two dot plots are shown one below the other. The title for the top dot plot is Sixth Graders and the title for the bottom plot is Seventh Graders. Below the line for each dot plot is written Height followed by inches in parentheses. There are markings from 52 to 57 on the top line and the bottom line at intervals of one. For the top line there are 2 dots above the first mark, 1 dot above the second mark, 1 dot above the third mark and 2 dots above the fourth mark. For the bottom line, there is 1 dot for the first mark, there is 1 dot above the second mark, there is 1 dot above the third mark, there is 1 dot above the fourth mark and there are two dots above the sixth mark. The mean absolute deviation (MAD) for the first set of data is 1.2 and the MAD for the second set of data is 1.7. Approximately how many times the variability in the heights of the sixth graders is the variability in the heights of the seventh graders? (Round all values to the tenths place.)
