Question

A researcher wants to study the effect of gender on mathematical ability of lyceum children. From the data gathered tried to construct a scatter diagram. He did not succeed to make it though. Why?

 
a. Had not collected enough data.

b. He did not know how to construct it.

c. It was not clear what was the criterion variable and what the predictive variable in this case.

d. Since both variables are not quantitative.

This is d right?

Answer 1

Right.

Answer 2

Thank you!!

Answer 3

You are welcome.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, the correct answer in this situation would be option d. Since both variables are not quantitative, it is not possible to construct a scatter diagram. A scatter diagram is used to represent the relationship between two quantitative variables, where each data point is plotted on the graph based on its values for the two variables. However, in this case, the variables are gender (which is a categorical variable) and mathematical ability (which is also likely to be categorical or ordinal). Therefore, a scatter diagram would not be an appropriate visualization method for this type of data.
