The 10 daycare centres are the experimental units. --- exercises/_01-sa-data-hello.qmd | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/exercises/_01-sa-data-hello.qmd b/exercises/_01-sa-data-hello.qmd index dd542cb5..991d8827 100644 --- a/exercises/_01-sa-data-hello.qmd +++ b/exercises/_01-sa-data-hello.qmd @@ -10,7 +10,7 @@ 1. \(a\) Treatment: $10/43 = 0.23 \rightarrow 23\%$.

(b) 200 cases: the weekly observations of the 10 daycare centers over the 20 weeks. (c) Number of late pickups (discrete numerical). (d) Week (numerical, discrete), group (categorical, nominal), and study period (categorical, ordinal). \addtocounter{enumi}{1} 1. \(a\) 344 cases (penguins) are included in the data. (b) There are 4 numerical variables in the data: bill length, bill depth, and flipper length (measured in millimeters) and body mass (measured in grams). They are all continuous. (c) There are 3 categorical variables in the data: species (Adelie, Chinstrap, Gentoo), island (Torgersen, Biscoe, and Dream), and sex (female and male).
