two sentences or less (i.e. what is the graph telling us). (1 pts)
4) Code the question, “In a typical week, how often do you snack in addition to your main
meals?” and calculate the Mode, Median, and Mean for your coded response? (3 pts)
What conclusion can we make based on the skewness of this data (1 pts)
5) Code the Likert Scale Question “I am snacking on healthier items” and calculate the
standard deviation (be sure to show your work). (2 pts)
