, QUESTION 1
1.1. The flavors (Strawberry, Vanilla, Peppermint, Chocolate) are distinct categories.
Categorical data represents characteristics or qualities that can be divided into groups.
Therefore, the variable representing categorical data is the ice cream flavors.
1.2. The variable representing numeric data in the ice cream sales is the number of
cones sold for each flavor. Numeric data is quantitative and can be measured or
counted. In this case, we can see exact figures: 16, 11, 8, and 20 cones for strawberry,
vanilla, peppermint, and chocolate, respectively. These numbers allow us to perform
calculations such as finding averages or totals.
1.3.
Flavor Number of cones sold Percentage of total sales
Strawberry 16 16
x 100 = 29.09%
55
Vanilla 11 11
x 100 = 20%
55
Peppermint 8 8
x 100 = 14.55%
55
Chocolate 20 20
x 100 = 36.36%
