Describing Data: Graphical

1.1
a. Categorical – ordinal. Size indicates rank ordering.
b. Numerical – discrete. The number comes from a counting process.
c. Numerical – continuous. Since the newborn baby’s weight arises from a
measurement (not a counting) process.
d. Categorical– nominal. Since the nationality does not imply ranking of
governor, it is nominal.

1.2
a. Categorical, nominal (The response is categorical because the responses can be
grouped into classes or categories, in this case yes/no. The measurement levels are
nominal because the responses are words that describe the categories.)
b. Categorical, ordinal (The response is categorical because the responses can be
grouped into classes or categories. The measurement levels are ordinal because these
are rankings of the data.)
c. Numerical, discrete (The response is numerical because the responses cannot be
grouped into classes or categories. Since the response is an actual cost, it is discrete
because the value comes from a counting process.)

1.3
The response to the amount spent in a year is numerical since it cannot be grouped into
classes or categories. The measurement levels are discrete as the responses come from a
counting process.
The response to the level of satisfaction received is categorical since it can be grouped
into classes or categories. The measurement levels are ordinal because the responses can
be ranked from 1 to 5.

1.4
a. Categorical – Qualitative – ordinal
b. Numerical – Quantitative – discrete
c. Categorical – Qualitative – nominal
d. Categorical – Qualitative – nominal

1.5
a. Categorical, nominal (The response is nominal since the categories cannot be ranked).
b. Categorical, nominal (The response is nominal since the categories cannot be ranked).

c. Numerical, continuous (The response is a numerical and continuous since the amount of
money spent on food can be any numerical value, it can obtain a decimal value as well).
d. Numerical, discrete (The response is a numerical -discrete since it can take only the integer
values).
e. Categorical, ordinal, (The response is ordinal since the categories can be ranked regarding
the length of time interval).

1.6
a. Categorical – Qualitative – nominal
b. Numerical – Quantitative - discrete
c. Categorical – Qualitative – nominal: yes/no response
d. Categorical – Qualitative – ordinal

1.7
a. An example of a categorical variable with ordinal responses is the "Internet"
variable.
b. An example of a categorical variable with nominal responses is the "More Use"
variable.
c. An example of a numerical variable with discrete responses is the "Books Each
Time" variable.

1.8
a. Various answers – Categorical variable with ordinal responses:
PIR_grp (1-5)
b. Various answers – Categorical variable with nominal responses: female (male/
female – 0/1)
c. Various answers – Numerical variable with continuous responses: daily_cost
d. Various answers – Numerical variable with discrete responses: PIR_p

No relationship between the two variables and hence no evidence that emphasis
on attracting a larger percentage of commercial property increases the tax base.
The two outlier points on the right side of the plot might be used to argue that a
very high percentage of commercial property will provide a larger tax base. That
argument, however, is contrary to the overall pattern of the data.

a. Histogram

b. Some of the possible errors in constructing a histogram include making the


heights of the rectangles, rather than the areas of the rectangles, proportional
to the frequencies when some of the classes vary in width; and constructing a
histogram with equal bar widths when some of the classes actually vary in
width.
