Measures of the Spread of the Data · Exercise 3
For each of the examples given below, tell whether the differences in outcomes may be explained by measurement variability, natural variability, induced variability, or sampling variability.
Jaiqua and Harold are trying to determine how ramp steepness affects the speed of a ball rolling down the ramp. They measure the time it takes for the ball to roll down ramps of differing slopes. When Jaiqua rolls the ball and Harold works the stopwatch, they get different results than when Harold rolls the ball and Jaiqua works the stopwatch. The differences in outcomes may be attributed to which type of variability?
