The characteristics of check teeth (e.g., molars) can provide anthropologists with information on the dietary habits of extinct mammals. The check teeth of an extinct primate species was the subject of research reported in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Vol. 142, 2010). A total of 18 check teeth extracted from skulls discovered in western Wyoming were analyzed. Each tooth was classified according to degree of wear (unworn, slight, light-moderate, moderate, moderate-heavy, or heavy). The 18 measurements are listed here. Data on Degree of Wear Unknown Slight Unknown Slight Unknown Heavy Moderate Unknown Slight Light-moderate Unknown Light-moderate Moderate-heavy Moderate Moderate Unworn Slight Unknown Identify the variable measured in the study and its type (qualitative and quantitative) Form frequency distribution. Identify the degree of wear category that occurred most often in the sample of 18 check teeth
