Answer:

The data are at the   <u>Nominal</u>   level of measurement.

The given calculation is wrong because average (mean) cannot be calculated for nominal level of measurement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The objective here is to Identify the level of measurement of the​ data, and explain what is wrong with the given calculation.

a)

The data are at the <u> Nominal  </u>  level of measurement due to the fact that it portrays the qualitative levels of naming and representing different hierarchies  from 100 basketball, 200 basketball, 300 football, 400 anything else

b) We are being informed that, the average​ (mean) is calculated for 597 respondents and the result is 256.1.

The given calculation is wrong because average (mean) cannot be calculated for nominal level of measurement. At nominal level this type of data set do not measure at all , it is not significant to compute their average​ (mean).

The table below represents a linear function f(x) and the equation represents a function g(x): x f(x) −1 −7 0 −1 1 5 g(x) g(x) =
astra-53 [7]
Question A:

Rewriting the table for f(x):

x      -1       0      1
f(x)   -7      -1      5

Notice that for every increase of one unit in 'x', there are an increase 6 units on f(x). Hence, the gradient of the slope of f(x) is 6. 

g(x) = 5x - 4 ⇒ This function follows the general form of the straight line equation, y = mx + c, where 'm' is the gradient and 'c' is the y-intercept.
Hence, the gradient of the slope of g(x) is 5.

The slope of f(x) is steeper than the slope of g(x).

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question B:

The y-intercept is the value of y where a straight line crosses the y-axis (or when x is zero).

From the table of f(x), the y-intercept is -1 (this is the value of 'y' when 'x' is zero)

From the given function g(x) = 5x - 4, the y-intercept is -4. 

f(x) has a greater y-intercept.
