Question

Given the ratings of 15 people about their experiences in court, answer the following:

a. Construct a frequency distribution table of these data.
b. What level of measurement is this variable?
c. What’s the appropriate figure to display the data? (pie chart, bar chart, histogram?)
A. Nominal
B. Ordinal
C. Interval
D. Ratio

Answer 1

To construct a frequency distribution table of 15 people's court experiences, tally the number of occurrences for each rating and display it in a table. The level of measurement for this variable is ordinal. The appropriate figure to display the data would depend on the specific details and purpose, but a bar chart would be a suitable choice for displaying the frequencies.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. To construct a frequency distribution table, you need to tally the number of occurrences of each rating. For example, if there are 4 people who rated their experience as 'good', you would write 'good | 4' in the frequency column. Repeat this for all the ratings.

b. The level of measurement for this variable is ordinal. The ratings can be ordered from least to greatest, but the differences between the ratings are not equal or meaningful.

c. The appropriate figure to display the data depends on the number of different ratings and the purpose of the display. Since there are no specific details given in the question, it is difficult to determine the best figure. However, a bar chart would be a suitable choice to display the frequencies of each rating.
