Hints for Problem Set 1, Question 1

Problem 1, Part B, last part: Think about the type(s) of variables that Mrs. Long is measuring, and think about what type of information that a histogram contains (which we went over in class on Friday). Does it make sense to use a histogram given the types of random variables?

Problem 1, Part C: refer to the chart that we made in class on Friday. There is definitely more than one possible correct answer for each scenario, make sure you justify it properly. Complete sentences, please!

Problem 1, Part E: think about a variable that you would observe in real life where, if you made a graph of it, would be roughly distributed symmetrically or skewed.
