Question

Food stamps No food stamps 1000- count 500 - • 250000 500000 750000 10000000 HINCP 250000 500000 750000 1000000

Here is a summary table for the variable HINCP split by new_FS.

new_FS	n	min	median	mean	max
Food stamps	641	-4600	38400	64901.88	958700
No food stamps	13471	-4800	124000	164488.83	2580000

Taking the table and histogram into account, answer the questions.

4. What is the appropriate measure of spread for distribution of HINCP for people on food stamps?

5. Please explain in context what the measure of center of HINCP for people on food stamps means?

6. How are the distributions of HINCP for those on food stamps and not on food stamps different and similar?

7. What do you find surprising for either distribution?

8. Do you think the distribution of HINCP is the same or different for people who are on or not on food stamps? Cite as much evidence as possible from the graphs and tables abov

Answer 1

see that From histogram and both the distributions Skewed. boxplot are we positively Since both also ale mean is greater variables, hence from it is clear that positively skewed. than median for Summary statistics both distributions Even though both shape, but there is measure of centoal and measure of distributions have same large difference in the tendency cmean, median) dispersion cvaesance prange) The distribution of variable no food Stamps have larger values of measure of central tendency and measure of dispersion as compared to distribution of voulable food Stamps
