Which of the following statements is most likely true about the age distribution of the children?

• There are more children who are 10 years old compared to other ages.

• The majority of the children fall within 2 years of the average age.

• There are very few children who are older than 13 years old.

• The ages are spread out evenly across the entire range.

What factors might contribute to the high variability in Minecraft playtime?

• Some children might have stricter time limits set by their parents.

• The data might include children of varying ages and interests.

• There could be a difference between weekdays and weekend playtime habits.

• All of the above.

Imagine we collect data from a much larger sample of children. How might the results for Minecraft playtime change?

• The mean playtime is likely to be significantly higher.

• The standard deviation for playtime might decrease slightly.

• The most common playtime (mode) might become closer to the average playtime (mean).

• The distribution of playtime around the mean might become more symmetrical.

Which of the following information would be most helpful to understand the playtime data better?

• The age of each child.

• The specific days of the week the data was collected.

• The children's preferred game mode in Minecraft.

• The children's favorite color in Minecraft.

What are some limitations of using only basic descriptive statistics like mean, median, and mode to analyze playtime data?

• They are overly complex and difficult to understand for beginners.

• They can't be used to compare data from different studies.

• They don't capture the relationship between playtime and age.

• They don't tell us how often extreme playtime values occur.

If we wanted to investigate the relationship between age and Minecraft playtime further, what kind of analysis could we perform?

• Group the children by age brackets and compare their average playtime.

• Calculate the correlation coefficient between age and playtime.

• The descriptive statistics is enough.

• By presenting the data gathered using bar or histogram.
