Question: [Exercise 8d] [Part 1] Now sort the table by most to least frequent and add a cumulative % total. Which two styles constitute a majority?
[Exercise 8d] [Part 1] Now sort the table by most to least frequent and add a cumulative % total. Which two styles constitute a majority? [Part 2] Is this interesting or useful? [Part 3] Was it necessary to sort from most to least frequent?
A. [Part 1] You cannot determine which two are the majority since since any two styles will constitute more than 50% of the total homes.B. [Part 1] There is no majority since we did not define what is meant by majority. It is ambiguous.C. [Part 1]Ranch and trilevel constitute an over 77% majority.D. [Part 2] It is interesting because we easily see which two most frequent styles contribute the most overall. This is a more useful idea of the majority of home styles.E. [Part 2] It is not very interesting or useful because it does not convey any more information that we could get from the pie chart.F. [Part 2] It is interesting to see that these two styles are a majority, but not useful because it does not present a complete description of the majority of home styles.G. [Part 3] It was necessary otherwise the cumulative amount would not describe the set of styles that relatively contribute the most. Another to styles might contribute more if the styles were not sorted from highest to lowest.H. [Part 3] It was not necessary. Any two styles constitute a majority.I. [Part 3] It was not necessary since style is not ordinal data and so order doesn't have any meaning here.
