10 questions
Consider June, July, and August as the summer months. 

TEXAS

5. Which event type results in the highest total number of direct injuries?  1 point

Tornado

6. Which event type has the highest rate of direct injuries? Here rate refers to the direct injuries per event for each 1 point
type. Does the result surprise you? Think about what else you might do if you're trying to find the most dangerous type of
event.

7. Assume a vector named events contains only integer values. Which code below returns the logical index 1 point
identifying all values within the range of [5 8] in the vector "events"? 

events < 8

events == 5 | events == 8

events > 4 & events <= 8

 events > 5 | events < 8

8. Which line of code creates the logical index to select all events in Kansas that caused more than $10,000 in property 1 point
damage excluding tornado events? 

ind = StormEventsData.State=="KANSAS" |
StormEventsData.Property_Cost>10000 | StormEventsData.Event_Type~="Tornado"; 

StormEventsData.State=="KANSAS" + StormEventsData.Property_Cost>10000 -
StormEventsData.Event_Type~="Tornado"; 

ind = StormEventsData.State=="KANSAS" &

StormEventsData.Property_Cost>10000 & StormEventsData.Event_Type~="Tornado";

ind = StormEventsData.State=="KANSAS" & StormEventsData.Property_Cost>10000 -

StormEventsData.Event_Type=="Tornado";

9. Match each image to the correct statement. Each image can only be used once. 1 point

A: Weak/No Correlation, B: Positive Correlation, C: Negative Correlation

A: Negative Correlation, B: Positive Correlation, C: Weak/No Correlation

A: Positive Correlation, B: Negative Correlation, C: Weak/No Correlation

10. Earlier in this module you looked at 8 cylinder automobiles from the 70's and 80's and found the following correlation 1 point
coefficients:

1. -0.67 for Acceleration and Horsepower/Weight

2. +0.68 for Acceleration and Weight/Displacement

3. +0.055 for Acceleration and Weight

Which of the above quantities is a good predictor of Acceleration?

Horsepower/Weight

Weight/Displacement

Weight

None of the quantities can be used to predict Acceleration

1) and 2) are nearly equal given the strength of the correlation coefficient.
