    This document contains a 10 question quiz about descriptive statistics and data distributions from an online Coursera course. It provides datasets for students to analyze and answer questions about measures of central tendency, covariance, histograms, and discrete vs. continuous data. The questions require calculating covariance from given data, interpreting histograms to describe dataset distributions, identifying which datasets have the strongest relationships, and selecting examples of discrete data.

    5. 
    Given that dataset A outcomes always occur before dataset B outcomes (and no
    other information), can you conclude that A causes B?

    Yes, because all requirements for causation are met.

    Yes, because covariance and correlation are both positive.

    No, the variables are not correlated.

    No, there is no control for external variables.

    point

    6. 
    Create a histogram of Dataset A. Based on the shape of the distribution of
    outcomes, which of the following is most likely true?

    Higher values are much more likely to occur than lower values.

    Negative values are much more likely to occur than positive values.

    All values in the range have a relatively equivalent chance of


    occurring, with a slightly lower probability on the high end.
