Question 1
1.1 What type(s) of data are best for using the following?
1.1.1 A stem-and-leaf plot: Stem-and-leaf plots are best suited for displaying small to moderate-sized datasets of quantitative data. They help you understand the distribution of the data and show individual data points.
1.1 What type(s) of data are best for using the following?
1.1.1 A stem-and-leaf plot: Stem-and-leaf plots are best suited for displaying
small to moderate-sized datasets of quantitative data. They help you
understand the distribution of the data and show individual data points.
1.1.2 A bar chart: Bar charts are effective for categorical or discrete data,
where you want to compare the frequency or count of different categories.
1.1.3 Pie chart: Pie charts work well when you want to represent parts of a
whole, typically used for categorical data where the proportions of each
category are important.
1.1.4 Scatter plot: Scatter plots are used to visualize the relationship between
two continuous variables. They are suitable for showing the correlation or
trend between two sets of data points.
1.1.5 Line graph: Line graphs are useful for displaying trends or changes over
time. They are commonly used for time-series data or when there's a
continuous relationship between variables.
1.1.6 A histogram: Histograms are ideal for displaying the distribution of
continuous data. They show the frequency of data points falling within specific
intervals (bins).
1.1.7 Box-and-whisker plot: Box-and-whisker plots are great for summarizing
the distribution and variability of a dataset. They show the median, quartiles,
and potential outliers.
1.2 How is the bar graph better than the pictograph?
Bar graphs are better than pictographs for several reasons:
Accuracy: Bar graphs accurately represent the values of each category using
uniform bars, whereas pictographs can sometimes be misleading due to
varying sizes of pictorial representations.
Precision: Bar graphs allow for precise comparison of values, while
pictographs might not convey the exact quantities as well.
Clarity: Bar graphs are usually clearer and easier to understand, especially for
complex datasets with multiple categories.
Data Integrity: Bar graphs are less prone to misinterpretation, as pictographs
may unintentionally distort the perception of the data.
1.3 When should we make use of scatter plot graphs?
