Get started for freeRanking colleges Popular magazines rank colleges and universities on their “academic quality” in serving undergraduate students. Describe two categorical variables and two quantitative variables that you might record for each student. Give the units of measurement for the quantitative variables.
The histogram below shows the distribution of the per cent of
women aged 15 and over who have never married in each

Baseball paradox Most baseball hitters perform differently against right-handed and left-handed pitching. Consider two players, Joe and Moe, both of whom bat right-handed. The table below records their performance against right-handed and left-handed pitchers:
(a) Use these data to make a two-way table of player (Joe or Moe) versus outcome (hit or no hit).
(b) Show that Simpson’s paradox holds: one player has a higher overall batting average, but the other player hits better against both left-handed and right-handed pitching.
(c) The manager doesn’t believe that one player can hit better against both left-handers and right-handers yet have a lower overall batting average. Explain in
simple language why this happens to Joe and Moe.
