Question

empathy7 ordinal mean rang... bar/pie empathy average interv... mean stand... histogr... describe how these concepts intersect and why scales of measurement influence decisions about statistics and graphics. your description must be about 4 to 7 sentences. b 7 type your response here.

Explanation:

The scale of measurement (e.g., ordinal vs. interval) determines the appropriate statistics (e.g., range for ordinal, standard deviation for interval) and graphics (e.g., bar/pie for ordinal, histogram for interval). Different scales have different properties (order, equal intervals), so stats/graphics must match these to accurately represent data.

Answer:

The scale of measurement dictates statistical analysis (e.g., mean with interval) and graphical display (e.g., histogram for continuous interval data). Ordinal scales (ranked, no equal intervals) use range and bar/pie, while interval (equal intervals) uses standard deviation and histograms. Misalignment (e.g., using interval stats on ordinal) distorts results. Thus, scale guides both statistical and graphical choices for valid interpretation.
