Problem 97Multiple Choice

The data below represents the number of reported shark attacks worldwide per year over a sequence of recent consecutive years. Analyze the data to answer the following questions.
Shark Attacks (per year):
$62 comma 74 comma 58 comma 66 comma 80 comma 51 comma 55 comma 71 comma 69 comma 45 comma 48 comma 53 comma 41 comma 39 comma 42 comma 37 comma 40 comma 64 comma 30 comma 35$
i. What significant aspect of the data is not captured by statistical calculations alone?
ii. What tool or method would be useful in identifying this aspect?
iii. What observations can be made from a quick visual inspection of the data?

A

i. Statistical measures do not reveal trends or fluctuations.

ii. A time series plot or line graph would be useful.

iii. The data shows variability in the number of attacks per year.

B

i. The mean and median summarize all information.

ii. A pie chart would be best.

iii. The data remains constant over the years.

C

i. The total number of attacks is not given.

ii. A histogram would be the best tool.

iii. The data indicates a clear increasing trend.

D

i. The standard deviation is missing.

ii. A scatter plot would be helpful.

iii. The data shows no variation at all.
