    Activity 1.2

    Read the following information about the transportation industry and answer the questions

    Transportation safety
    The chart shows the number of job-related injuries for each of the transportation
    industries for 1998.
    Industry Number of injuries
    Railroad 4520
    Intercity bus 5100
    Subway 6850
    Trucking 7144
    Airline 9950

    1. What are the variables under study?


    -The variable are industry and job-related injuries.

    2. Categorize each variable as quantitative or qualitative.


    -The type of industry is a qualitative variable, while the number of job-related injuries is
    quantitative.

    3. Categorize each quantitative variable as discrete or continuous?


    -The number of job-related injuries is discrete.
    4. Identify the level of measurement for each variable.
    -Type of industry is nominal, and the number job-related injuries is ratio.
    5. The railroad is shown as the safest transportation industry. Does that mean railroads
    have fewer accidents than the other industries? Explain.
    -The railroads do show fewer job-related injuries; however, there may be other things to
    consider. For example, railroads employ fewer people than the other transportation industries in
    the study.
    6. What factors other than safety influence a person’s choice of transportation?
    -A person’s choice of transportation might also be affected by convenience issue, cost,
    service, etc.
    7. From the information given, comment on the relationship between variables.
    -Answers will vary. One possible answer is that the railroads have the fewest job-related
    injuries, while the airline industry has the most job-related injuries (more than twice those of
    railroad industry). The numbers of job-related injuries in the subway and trucking are fairly
    comparable.
