test 01 sc3 Name:
Seventeen or eighteen years ago parents were carefully choosing names for their newly born children. The spring COMET entrance test provided an opportunity to explore the most popular baby names of that time. The data is the popularity of the shown name based on number of students who took the COMET with that name.
- ____________________ Determine the level of measurement for the data in table one.
- __________ Determine the mode for the data in table one.
- __________ Based on table one, calculate the sample size n for table one.
In a recent interview Paul Ryan, the US Republican candidate for the vice presidency, was asked his marathon time. Ryan responded, "Under three, high twos. I had a two hour and fifty-something. ... I was fast when I was younger, yeah." Runnersworld magazine did some checking and determined that Ryan had run only one marathon in not a sub-three hour time but rather 4:01:25. Ryan's campaign staff have tried to explain that he either mispoke or had forgotten. Runners, however, have been unconvinced. Runners remember their times. I know my half marathon times. I not only know my times, but I have them recorded in my running logs. The time data in table two comes from those logs. And these are real times, not Ryan adjusted times. Use the time data in the second column of table two (not the dates!) to answer the remaining questions.
