- Literacy rate is a reflection of the educational facilities and quality of education available in a country, and mass communication plays a large part in the educational process. In an effort to relate the literacy rate of a country to various mass communication outlets, a demographer has proposed to relate literacy rate to the following variables: number of daily newspaper copies (per 1000 population), number of radios (per 1000 population), and number of TV sets (per 1000 population). Here are the data for a sample of 10 countries:arrow_forwardDuring a particularly dry growing season in a southern state, farmers noticed that there is a delicate balance between the number of seeds that are planted per square foot and the yield of the crop in pounds per square foot. The yields were the smallest when the number of seeds per square foot was either very small or very large. The data in the table show various numbers of seeds planted per square foot and yields (in pounds per square foot) for a sample of fields. A 2-column table with 15 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of seeds (per square foot) with entries 28, 75, 30, 43, 71, 35, 40, 59, 66, 79, 85, 81, 16, 33, 16. Column 2 is labeled yield (pounds per square foot) with entries 131, 171, 132, 166, 169, 150, 161, 183, 173, 161, 147, 157, 86, 145, 86. Which scatterplot represents the seed and yield data?

(a) In a paired analysis we first take the difference of each pair of observations, and then we do inference on these differences. (b) Two data sets of different sizes cannot be analyzed as paired data. (c) Consider two sets of data that are paired with each other. Each observation in one data set has a natural correspondence with exactly one observation from the other data set. (d) Consider two sets of data that are paired with each other. Each observation in one data set is subtracted from the average of the other data set’s observations.arrow_forwardEnter the data in SPSS or EXCEL Merge the two data sets Once you have entered all the data, create a table to display the information Use any graphical method to present the data Comment on the findings Country May June July August Sept October Uganda 947 57 63 117 37 90 Kenya 411 42 55 100 85 49 Tanzania 521 72 02 116 52 46 Rwanda 753 55 15 89 4 14 Burundi 964 52 1 122 70 33 Ethiopia 327 6 26 135 17 24 Congo 967 6 7 113 90 53 Somalia 670 21 5 24 28 75 Eritrea 379 28 3 16 39 85 Country May June July August Sept.
