Survey questions given to prospective students

• What is your age?
• Would you live in on-campus housing or off-campus housing?
• Into which academic program would you enroll?
• How likely are you to attend UMGC in the next year?(rate 1-4, 1 is not likely and 4 is very likely)

Student	Age	Housing	Academic Program	Likely to attend UMGC
1	18	Off campus	Political science	4
2	19	Off campus	History	1
3	17	On campus	Cybersecurity	2
4	30	Off campus	Nursing	4
5	18	On campus	History	3
6	21	On campus	Psychology	4
7	45	Off campus	Business	2
8	20	On campus	Business	3

Your first task is to define the data resulting from each survey question as qualitative or quantitative. If the variable is qualitative, indicate if it is nominal or ordinal. If it is quantitative, indicate whether it is discrete or continuous and whether it is interval or ratio (see graphic below).

form a table (a frequency distribution, stem and leaf plot, or a grouped frequency distribution) to organize the data from one of the variables. Does including the relative frequency or cumulative frequency make the table more meaningful? Why do you feel this table best organizes the data? Include the table in your post.

how would you visually display the results as a graph (bar graph, Pareto chart, dot plot, line graph, histogram, pie chart, or box plot). Why did you choose this graph? Explain why you believe this graph is the best choice to display the data. Include the graph in your post.

Finally, find the mean, median and mode foroneof the variables.Which of these measures of central tendency do you think is the best choice for "average" and why?Find the range and standard deviation (measures of dispersion) for the variable.What would a narrower or wider deviation signify in the context of this data?.
