Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a psychology discussion question and need support to help me learn.

Option 1: Find an article that mentions a new drug that promises an improved survival rate.

• Identify whether this rate represents the mean or the median of the data set.
• Assess whether that is ideally what you’d want to know for this data.
• Provide a specific reason for your answer.

Option 2: For this option, consider a normal distribution.

• Decide whether you should use the median or mean to best describe the data set.
• Determine whether the standard deviation or the interquartile range are relevant factors.
• Briefly discuss in the context of a specific example.

Option 3: Respond to the following questions.

• If the median house price is $1.9 million, does that necessarily mean that half of the houses on the block are worth less than $1.9 million and half are worth more?
• How do ties figure in?
• Give an example that includes 8 to 12 data points.
