Questions: Select three examples of data sets that do not have inherent zeros below. A. Number of years a college student was employed by a particular company B. A student's level of happiness measured from 0 to 10 C. Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit D. Average IQ score of a high school class E. Average monthly precipitation in inches F. Maximum wind speed during a hurricane

The three examples of data sets that do not have inherent zeros are:

The answer is: B. A student's level of happiness measured from 0 to 10 C. Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit D. Average IQ score of a high school class

Explanation:

A. Number of years a college student was employed by a particular company:

• This data set has an inherent zero because zero years of employment means the student was never employed by the company.

B. A student's level of happiness measured from 0 to 10:

• This data set does not have an inherent zero because a zero on the happiness scale does not mean the absence of happiness; it is just a point on a subjective scale.

C. Temperature in degrees Fahrenheit:

• This data set does not have an inherent zero because zero degrees Fahrenheit does not represent the absence of temperature; it is just a point on the temperature scale.

D. Average IQ score of a high school class:

• This data set does not have an inherent zero because an IQ score of zero is not meaningful or possible; IQ scores are typically scaled with an average around 100.

E. Average monthly precipitation in inches:

• This data set has an inherent zero because zero inches of precipitation means no precipitation occurred.

F. Maximum wind speed during a hurricane:

• This data set has an inherent zero because zero wind speed means no wind.

Summary: The data sets that do not have inherent zeros are B, C, and D.
