im not sure if my copy is the 'full version' coz it was a burnt copy

also, is the eco&biz building open during the holidays?..if so, during what times?

oi.just coz i've looked at the qs, doesnt mean ive done them

 

[matt#1]

i've done the first 2 questions...but that's only cause a friend of mine had the same ones last year ...and she got 88% for the assignment

2. e) Comment on the answer to count for each of the variables.

Is this just 60 and 59. That seems weird. Like it seems like a pretty stupid question.

yep, thats the answer....even though i agree that it does seem pretty stupid

 

[stazi]

2e - it says "comment" so you can say that due to the nonnumerical value of *, the count is one lower for the second variable.

 

[absolution*]

hah, such a stupid question...

what did you guys say for 2 f)

i said there is little symmetry but im having trouble getting my graphs to accurately show that..

 

[s.m.i.t.h]

sarevok ive PM you my email

 

[absolution*]

woohoo

only q4 left.

 

[sarevok]

smith: sent.

how do i make my box and whisker plots horizontal instead of vertical?

I don't think you can, if by horizontal you mean vertical? The default is horizontal. I really don't know what they mean by the side-by-side question. I can't see any options to make them side by side. Whether theyre vertical or horizontal.

There were a couple of bad questions in there, but then again how crazy can they go with the marking? It's only a 5% (4% if you dont count the extra mark you get for just handing it in completed) assignment.

Question 4 was kind of confusing, especially considering i interpreted the coefficient of variation as correlation at the beginning and based my answer around that.

Oh and when someone finishes, if you want to discuss which answers you got, then let me know or add me to msn: stas_M_@hotmail.com

Better to be safe then sorry

 

[absolution*]

coefficient of correlation and coefficient of variation are completely different things.

if you need clarification just asked.

my earlier question was referring to the shape of my box and whisker plot diagrams.

i want my values along the x-axis like it is in the book. not along the veritcal axis which seems to be the default. i doubt it matters though.
oh and "side-by-side" means "multiple"

 

[absolution*]

btw, what did you put for 2 f)?
