Problem Set 1

This document contains two problem sets related to statistics. The first problem set discusses a study that examined the relationship between class attendance and grades. It found that students who attended class 95-100% of the time usually received an A, 80-90% attendance usually led to a B or C, and less than 80% attendance usually resulted in a D, F, or withdrawal. The second problem set provides data on job-related injuries across different transportation industries in 1998. It asks questions about the variables, their measurement, and the relationship between variables.

Review on Basic Statistics

Attendance and Grades


Read the following on attendance and grades, and answer the questions.

A study conducted at Manatee Community College revealed that students who attended class 95 to
100% of the time usually received an A in the class. Students who attended class 80 to 90% of the
time usually received a B or C in the class. Students who attended class less than 80% of the time
usually received a D or an F or eventually withdrew from the class. Based on this information,
attendance and grades are related. The more you attend class, the more likely it is you will receive
a higher grade. If you improve your attendance, your grades will probably improve. Many factors
affect your grade in a course. One factor that you have considerable control over is attendance.
You can increase your opportunities for learning by attending class more often.
