In the 2014 NFL draft, 172 drafted players came from one ofPrea013s Crorer S Conference) the "Power 5" conferences (ACC, Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC), while 166 drafted players came from one of these conferences in the 2013 draft. A frequency bar graph comparing the two years is at the right. Use this information0 to answer the following 2014 a Identify the two variables recorded for each of the 338 players drafted Classify the variables as categorical or quantitative.

A simple random sample of students from these schools in the 2016-17 cohort were selected from school records Assuming the Northern Kentucky percentage is the same as the state percentage, completely describe the sampling distribution of the sample proportion of the graduation rate of Northern Kentucky students during the 2016-17 school year when samples of size 125 are selected. a.
