MATH302 American Public Type of Vehicles Qualitative Variables Paper
The best way to learn statistics is to do statistics. At one point, most of us have needed to purchase a vehicle. At the very least, it’s fun to look at them! Go to the Kelley Blue Book website (https://www.kbb.com/) or any other vehicle website and choose 10 different vehicles. These can be ones you would consider buying or even your total dream car. Record the following information in a blank Excel file (save it for future forums):
Vehicle type/class |
Year |
Make |
Model |
Price |
MPG (city) |
MPG (highway) |
Example: |
||||||
SUV |
2018 |
Subaru |
Forester |
$22,795 |
23 |
29 |
Explain the type(s) of vehicles you chose and provide a brief rationale for your choice. For each column category, state whether the variable is qualitative or quantitative. Last, add a new column with a variable of your choice and state whether it is qualitative or quantitative. You might consider engine size, number of cylinders, vehicle weight, or drive type.
Instructions: Your initial post should be at least 250 words. You must also respond to at least 2 other students outside your initial thread. Responses should be a minimum of 50 words and may include direct questions. Ideas for peer posts: welcome your classmates, comment on the vehicles they chose for their sample, compare the extra variable that you both chose.
