Reference no: EM131816137

Suppose Men's Health magazine wants to present the results of the survey described in Exercise 1.24 in a way that is both appealing and informative. Is the magazine mainly concerned with data production, displaying and summarizing data, probability, or performing statistical inference?

Men's Health magazine used data on body mass index, back-surgery rates, usage of gyms, etc. to grade the quality of men's "abs" (abdominal muscles) in 60 cities across the country. If each city was given a rating between 0 and 4, such as 2.75 for Pittsburgh, then how is the variable of interest being treated-as quantitative or categorical?
