True/False

6. True or False? Using a 95% confidence interval to describe an odds ratio allows other researchers to determine if the results were statistically significant because a statistically significant odds ratio confidence interval will include the number 1.

7. True or False? The r² value and a least squares regression line can be an excellent way to demonstrate the degree of correlation between two variables, and the type of association between the two variables.

8. True or False? Box-whisker plots are useful tools in comparing the median and the distribution of two or more variables broken down into different categories.

9. True or False? Variable names and units of measurement should not be specified clearly and accurately.

10. True or False? Good tables have clear and concise titles.
