QUESTION 5 ONLY

depicting no skew. 5. One of this chapter's examples used two 2012 ANES feeling thermometer scales to illustrate central tendency and dispersion for interval variables. Below is summary information for two more ANES thermometer scales, one of which reports ratings for Hillary Clinton, the other for Barack Obama. Examine the summaries and think about what these variables "look like." Consider statements A to C. For each statement: (i) State whether the statement is true or false. (ii) Explain your answer.

Explanation / Answer

A. False. This does not have a positive skew because the mean is lesser than the median.

B. False. The mean does not provide an accurate measure of central tendency because the value of the mode is significantly different from that of the mean.

C. False. Obama's data has more variation as the interquartile range is higher.
