Short Answer

A researcher is conducting a study with 100100 university students and wants to organize the data for the variable 'number of siblings.' Based on the data showing that 1010 students have zero siblings, 3030 have one sibling, and 4040 have two siblings, how should the researcher apply these values to construct a basic frequency distribution representation?

Question: A researcher is conducting a study with 100100 university students and wants to organize the data for the variable 'number of siblings.' Based on the data showing that 1010 students have zero siblings, 3030 have one sibling, and 4040 have two siblings, how should the researcher apply these values to construct a basic frequency distribution representation?

Sample answer: To construct the frequency distribution, the researcher should list the values of the variable 'number of siblings' (00, 11, and 22) and pair each value with its observed frequency in the sample (1010, 3030, and 4040 respectively) to show how they are distributed within the sample of 100100 students.

Key points:

  • Map the specific variable values of 00, 11, and 22 siblings.
  • Pair each value with its respective frequency of 1010, 3030, and 4040 students.
  • Structure this data to demonstrate the distribution of the variable.

Rubric: The answer should explain the application of mapping the specific values (00, 11, 22) to their respective frequencies (1010, 3030, 4040) to represent the variable's distribution in the sample.
