For this one, is the fourth choice also correct?







Are all of my answers correct? I can only submit these answers once so I need someone to double check for me! :(

For #1 I like (c). If you are going to tick (d) too then why not (e) as well?

Can you post your reasoning?

For #2

(a) (f) (h) seems true too.
(b) seems wrong.

I didn't choose (e) because it's a voluntary response, so it wouldnt be random!

also, what about 3, 4, and 5. For 3 I just guessed because I didn't know to do - It looked like more of a conceptual problem than a plug and chug one

H can't be true if I say that histogram x has the largest standard deviation among them all, no?and for F, the key word is "most" (resembles a normal distribution), so it would hAve to be either histogram Y or X

Maybe it's my limited understanding of American colloquialisms but I thought that was more than a little rude.

It's been barely 24 hours since I answered and moreover I don't think I have any monetary nor ethical obligation to reply post-haste to your questions.  Sorry.
