Question:
Software: A researcher interested in comparing the number of children born to families in New York and Kentucky collects relevant data from 25 individuals from each state. The table below contains the number of siblings reported by each individual measured.
KY | {3, 5, 4, 2, 3, 2, 4, 2, 4, 2, 3, 0, 2, 2, 4, 4, 3, 3, 1, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 1} |
NY | {1, 1, 0, 1, 2, 1, 0, 4, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 1, 1 ,2, 2, 1, 0, 1} |
answer these:
a) Using Software: construct two frequency tables for the data below; one for NY, one for KY. Be sure to include a column for Value, Frequency, Percent, Cumulative Frequency, and Cumulative Percent.
b)Using Software: construct two frequency histograms (one for each state) displaying the distributions.
c) In Words: Describe each distribution (number of modes, skew, symmetry), and describe the differences you see (if any) between the number of siblings people have, on average, .in KY and NY.
