Question

1. Suppose you have the following dataset which contains the information of the students. You can use this dataset to solve the following questions. Table 1: Sample Dataset: Heights, Weights, Test Scores, and Gender | Gender | Height (cm) | Weight (kg) | Test Score | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Male | 175 | 70 | 85 | | Female | 163 | 55 | 78 | | Male | 180 | 80 | 92 | | Female | 155 | 45 | 70 | | Male | 170 | 65 | 75 | | Female | 168 | 58 | 80 | | Male | 185 | 90 | 88 | | Female | 160 | 50 | 72 | | Male | 178 | 75 | 80 | | Female | 162 | 52 | 10 | | Male | 172 | 68 | 82 | | Female | 170 | 60 | 85 | | Male | 181 | 77 | 78 | | Female | 165 | 48 | 74 | | Male | 176 | 72 | 90 | | your gender | your height | your weight | x | where x is the last two digits of your id. (i) Which types of variables are contained in the dataset, and what are the levels of measurements of these variables? (ii) Create a frequency distribution table for the test scores in the dataset. (iii) Visualize the frequency distribution of test scores using an appropriate graph. (iv) Discuss any patterns or insights you observe in the distribution of test scores. (v) Visualize the distribution of heights and weights separately for males and females using appropriate graphs (e.g., Pie chart, histograms, box plots). Analyze any differences in the distributions between genders. (vi) Calculate the mean, median, and mode for both heights and weights separately. And calculate mean, median, and mode using frequency distribution. Compare these estimators with the estimators found for ungrouped data (vii) Compare the central tendency measures (mean, median, mode) of heights and weights. Which measure is most appropriate for describing the "typical" height and weight in this dataset, and why? (viii) Discuss any differences in central tendency measures between male and female participants for heights, weights, and test scores. (ix) Calculate the range, variance, standard deviation, mean absolute deviation and coefficient of variation for both heights and weights separately. (x) Interpret the results of each measure of dispersion for heights and weights. What do they indicate about the variability in heights and weights? (xi) Define a threshold for outliers. Typically, outliers are considered to be observations that fall below Q1 - 1.5 * IQR or above Q3 + 1.5 * IQR. Identify any observations that fall outside the defined thresholds for outlier detection. (xii) Discuss any limitations or biases present in the dataset and how they might affect the results of your analysis. Propose potential solutions or strategies to address these limitations and improve the validity of the analysis. (xiii) Calculate the skewness and kurtosis of the variable test score and interpret your findings.

Step 1

- Height (cm) and Weight (kg) are ratio variables because they have a true zero point and the differences between measurements are meaningful. - Test Score is also a ratio variable for the same reasons as height and weight. Show more…

00:01 Okay, so i see that you need help with this, and i'm using excel to help me organize and type this out, because as you know, there's a lot of questions to be answered.

00:12 So i figured this would make it as easy and as neat as possible.

00:17 So i asks you what types of variables are contained in the dataset, and what are the levels of measurement of these variables? so the variables are gender, and they are height, they are weight, and they are test scores.

00:46 Then create a frequency distribution table for the test scores in the dataset.

00:52 So if i was to take these numbers, and i'm just going to paste them here, okay? and i'm going to put them in order from least to greatest.

01:05 So, oops, from least to greatest, so smallest to largest.

01:11 And my frequency table, so class width.

01:15 I'll do it down here.

01:17 So this is number two.

01:21 So we have class with.

01:24 So i'll go from 10 to 19.

01:28 Oops, 10 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 79, 40 to 49, 80 to 79, 80 to 89, 80 to 89, 80 to 89, 80 to 89.

02:01 And then 90 to 99 and frequency and so 10 to 19 is 1 then we have 0 going all the way to 72 so we have 1 2 ,000.

02:21 So we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 from 70 to 79, 6 and i just got to type is that typo.

02:35 And then 80.

02:37 I'm just going to highlight this.

02:39 Yellow.

02:40 So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

02:42 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

02:47 And 6.

02:52 90 to 99.

02:54 And that's blue.

02:57 So 2.

03:00 And that's my frequency table.

03:07 So then it says, visualize the frequency distribution of the test scores using an appropriate graph so a graph that can be used is we can do oops a histogram so i'm gonna insert and as you can see oops so this is a histogram oops histogram and as you can see it is skewed right i'm sorry skewed left so with discuss the power patterns or insights you observe in the distribution of the test scores.

03:56 So the test scores are skewed left.

04:05 Then it says, visualize the distribution of heights and weights separately for males and females using appropriate graphs, pie chart, histogram box plots, analyze the differences in the distribution between genders.

04:19 So for male, i'm just going to copy and paste this down here.

04:32 And it's every other actually i can take this and that's just for heights and weights and i'm going to put this in order from least to greatest sort okay so for female insert and let's see what the recommended chart is for height so for height, i would do a histogram.

05:16 And we can see that i kind of like this one here.

05:27 This is the female height.

05:44 Oops, h -e -i -g -h -t.

05:47 And then female weight.

05:51 Let's see.

05:59 Female weight.

06:05 And then we'll do male height, male height, male height and then male weight or i could do a side by side insert and so we can see if i do so that's one way between the female and the male look at this female slash male height so you can do the comparison between the two.

07:04 I think that this would be easier to do the comparison.

07:08 Oops, this over.

07:21 Okay, female and as you can see the male height is greater.

07:30 And let me see if it will if it does color for female.

07:43 And i can do this a different color.

07:47 So you can visually see.

07:57 And this one and this one and then this one okay so i would do maybe this type you could even stack them next to each other and then if i do female a male weight insert oops i don't want to go that far i just messed that up okay so i'm going to highlight this, insert, and i'll do this again, but i'm going to move it so that way.

08:46 And i get to fix one of the bars.

08:48 So this bar.

08:52 Oh, not all of them...
