What is efferent coupling in software design?

Roughly what percentage of pregnancies last longer than 297​ days?

Indicate whether the following study is an observational study or a controlled experiment. Patients with​ Alzheimer’s disease are randomly divided into two groups. One group is given a new​ drug, and the other is given a placebo. After six months they are given a memory test to see whether the new drug fights​ Alzheimer’s better than a placebo.

A student has gathered data on​ self-perceived body​ image, where 1 represents​ “underweight,” 2 represents​ “about right,” and 3 represents​ “overweight.” A graph of these data is shown. What type of graph would be a better choice to display these​ data, and​ why?

Roughly what percentage of pregnancies last less than 237​ days?

Identify the sample and the population.

Match each description with the correct histogram of the data. 1. Assessed value of a representative collection of houses in a city. 2. Number of bedrooms in the houses. 3. Height of house​ (in stories) for houses in a region that allows up to three stories but not more.

If the correlation between height and weight of a large group of people is 0.67​, find the coefficient of determination​ (as a​ percent) and explain what it means. Assume that height is the predictor and weight is the​ response, and assume that the association between height and weight is linear.

Recently, a health organization estimated that the flu vaccine was 75​%  effective against the influenza B virus. An immunologist suspects that the current flu vaccine is less effective against this virus. Pick the correct pair of hypotheses the immunologist could use to test this claim.

Are these numbers statistics or​ parameters? Explain.
