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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
