Question

Guests were divided into groups based on the specific park they purchased (two-park pass, one-park pass to Universal Studies Orlando, one-park pass to Islands of Adventure) because of the belief that the percentage of guests staying at onsite Loews Hotels would differ based on the different pass types. Hence the percentage of guests staying in an onsite Loews Hotel for each type of park pass is what type of characteristic? Categorical variable Discrete quantitative variable Continuous quantitative variable Constant Universal Orlando is popular with people who live in Florida, with people from other states in the United States, and with people from many other countries. In this scenario, a guest's home (either Florida, another US state, or another country), is what type of characteristic? Categorical variable Discrete quantitative variable Continuous quantitative variable Constant Universal Studios Orlando contains the Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley. Located in the heart of Diagon Alley is Ollivanders, where young wizards come in search of their most essential wizarding supply: their wand. Of interest is to determine the mean age of all people who have purchased wands from Ollivanders so far in 2015. Consider the information presented in the above paragraph. What type of characteristic is mean age of all people who have purchased wands from Ollivanders so far in 2015? Categorical variable Discrete quantitative variable Continuous quantitative variable Constant For those people who purchased a wand at Ollivanders so far in 2015, it is of interest to record the number of wands they considered before they chose the one they purchased. What type of characteristic is the number of wands considered before they chose the one they purchased? Categorical variable Discrete quantitative variable Continuous quantitative variable Constant Consider the information presented in the paragraph above question 8. Suppose Ollivanders keeps information on every wand they sell and they report that among all people who have purchased wands from Ollivanders so far in 2015, 32% are from other countries. In this scenario, is 32% an example of a parameter or a statistic? Parameter Statistic Suppose a sample of 200 people who have purchased wands from Ollivanders so far in 2015 is selected: each was asked his or her age and bow long they were visiting Universal Orlando, among other questions. The sample was purposely selected such that everyone in the sample was from the United States: people from other countries were not included in the sample. In this scenario, what type of bias could this cause? Selection bias Response bias Nonresponse bias Confounding bias

Explanation / Answer
