Data Analysis and Interpretation

The video tutorial explains how to compare data from two random samples, using examples of cereal shop spending, cat ownership in subdivisions, and concession stand sales. It covers calculating medians, interquartile ranges, and making inferences about data distributions. The tutorial also includes practical exercises to apply these concepts.

What is a random sample?

• A sample that includes the entire population.

• A sample that is selected without any specific pattern.

• A sample that is selected based on convenience.

• A sample that is biased towards a particular group.

How do you find the difference in medians between two data sets?

• Subtract the smaller median from the larger median.

• Add the medians of both data sets.

• Multiply the medians of both data sets.

• Divide the larger median by the smaller median.

What is the interquartile range (IQR) of a data set?

• The sum of the first and third quartiles.

• The difference between the third and first quartiles.

• The difference between the maximum and minimum values.

• The average of all data points.

Based on the cereal shop data, which shop has a higher price per ounce?

• Both shops have the same price per ounce.

• Neither shop, as the data is inconclusive.

• Shop A, because it has a higher median and IQR.

• Shop B, because it has a lower median.

What can be inferred about the data distribution in Subdivision A?

• It is skewed to the right.

• It is symmetrical.

• It is skewed to the left.

• It has no clear pattern.

Which subdivision is more cat-friendly based on the data?

• Subdivision A, because it has more cats.

• Subdivision B, because it has more cats.

• Both subdivisions are equally cat-friendly.

• Neither subdivision is cat-friendly.

What is the mode of the data distribution in Subdivision B?

• Three

• Two

• Zero

• Four

How do the cookie and popcorn sales in January compare to those in May?

• Sales in January are three times those in May.

• Sales in January are half of those in May.

• Sales in January are equal to those in May.

• Sales in January are twice those in May.

What percentage of popcorn sales in January is equal to the cookie sales in March and April combined?

• 80%

• 50%

• 60%

• 70%

What is the total number of cookie sales in March and April?

• 60

• 90

• 120

• 150
