Question:
Two researchers are gathering data on hours of video games played by school-aged children and young adults. They each randomly sample different groups of 150 students from the same school. They collect the following data.Researcher A
Hours Played per Week | Frequency | Relative Frequency | Cumulative Relative Frequency |
---|---|---|---|
0-2 | 26 | 0.17 | 0.17 |
2-4 | 30 | 0.20 | 0.37 |
4-6 | 49 | 0.33 | 0.70 |
6-8 | 25 | 0.17 | 0.87 |
8-10 | 12 | 0.08 | 0.95 |
10-12 | 8 | 0.05 | 1 |
Researcher B
Hours Played per Week | Frequency | Relative Frequency | Cumulative Relative Frequency |
---|---|---|---|
0-2 | 48 | 0.32 | 0.32 |
2-4 | 51 | 0.34 | 0.66 |
4-6 | 24 | 0.16 | 0.82 |
6-8 | 12 | 0.08 | 0.90 |
8-10 | 11 | 0.07 | 0.97 |
10-12 | 4 | 0.03 | 1 |
Give a reason why the data may differ. A:The researchers are studying the same population, so there will be some variation in the data.
B:The researchers are studying different samples, so there will be some variation in the data.
C:The researchers are studying different parameters, so there will be some variation in the data.
D:The researchers are studying the same statistic, so there will be some variation in the data.
E:The researchers are studying different statistics, so there will be some variation in the data.
