1. Question: In a statistics class, the teacher asked the students about their favorite color. The responses were recorded as categorical data. Which of the following is the most appropriate graphical representation for this data?
A) Pie chart
B) Histogram
C) Box plot
D) Stem-and-leaf plot
Answer: A) Pie chart
Explanation: Since the data is categorical and represents different categories (colors), a pie chart is the most suitable graphical representation. Pie charts show the proportion or percentage of each category in relation to the whole.
Example: Let\’s say there are 20 students in the class, and their favorite colors are recorded. A pie chart can be created to show the percentage of students who prefer each color, such as 25% for blue, 20% for red, 35% for green, and 20% for yellow.
2. Question: A company wants to analyze the relationship between the number of hours employees spend on training and their job performance ratings. Which statistical test should be used for this analysis?
A) Chi-square test
B) T-test
C) ANOVA
D) Regression analysis
Answer: D) Regression analysis
Explanation: Regression analysis is used to analyze the relationship between two continuous variables, such as the number of hours spent on training (independent variable) and job performance ratings (dependent variable). It helps determine if there is a significant linear relationship between the variables.
Example: A regression analysis can be conducted to determine if there is a significant correlation between the number of hours employees spend on training and their job performance ratings. The analysis may show that there is a positive relationship, indicating that employees who spend more hours on training tend to have higher job performance ratings.
