Answer to Question 1

Scatter diagrams, covariance, the coefficient of correlation, and the coefficient of determination are useful techniques for detecting relationships between two interval variables.

Answer to Question 2

A histogram can show you whether a distribution is symmetric, positively skewed, negatively skewed, or has a different shape. If the data is symmetric, a histogram can tell you whether the data is bell shaped, bimodal, or uniform, etc. A box plot can also show you whether a distribution is symmetric, negatively skewed or positively skewed. However, it can't tell you what the exact shape is, if the data are found to be symmetric. For example, a box plot cannot tell you whether a symmetric data set is unimodal or bimodal. This is a drawback of a box plot.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
