Chapter 2 11 Chapter 2 Organizing and Graphing Data Section 2.1 2.1 Data in their original form are often too large and unmanageable. It is easier to make sense of grouped data than ungrouped data and easier to make decisions and draw conclusions using grouped data. 2.2 The relative frequency for a category is obtained by dividing the frequency of that category by the sum of the frequencies of all categories. The percentage for a category is obtained by multiplying the relative frequency of that category by 100. Example 2๏€ญ2 in the text is an example which shows how relative frequencies and percentages are calculated. 2.3 a. and b.

The number of classes to be used to group the given data. 2. The width of each class. 3. The lower limit of the first class. 2.9 The relative frequency for a class is obtained by dividing the frequency of that class by the sum of frequencies of all classes. The percentage for a class is obtained by multiplying the relative frequency of that class by 100. Example 2-4 is an example that illustrates the calculation of relative frequencies and percentages. 2.10 A data set that does not contain fractional values is usually grouped by using classes with limits. Example 2๏€ญ4 is an example of the writing classes using limits method. A data set that contains fractional values is grouped by using the less than method. Example 2๏€ญ5 is an example of the less than method. Single-valued Chapter 2 16 classes are used to group a data set that contains only a few distinct (integer) values. Example 2๏€ญ6 is an example of the single-valued classes method. 2.11 a. 31 + 78 + 49 + 81 + 117 + 13 = 369 customers were served. b. Each class has a width of 4.

Section 2.3 2.23 To prepare a stem-and-leaf display for a data set, each value is divided into two parts; the first part is called the stem and the second part is called the leaf. The stems are written on the left side of a vertical line and the leaves for each stem are written on the right side of the vertical line next to the corresponding stem. Example 2-9 is an example of a stem-and-leaf display. 2.24 The advantage of a stem-and-leaf display over a frequency distribution is that by preparing a stem-and-leaf display we do not lose information on individual observations. From a stem-and-leaf display we can obtain the original data. However, we cannot obtain the original data from a frequency distribution table. Consider the stem-and-leaf display from Example 2๏€ญ8: 5 2 0 7 6 5 9 1 8 4 7 5 9 1 2 6 9 7 1 2 8 0 7 1 6 3 4 7 9 6 3 5 2 2 8 Chapter 2 The data that were used to make this stem-and-leaf display are: 52, 50, 57, 65, 69, 61, 68, 64, 75, 79, 71, 72, 76, 79, 77, 71, 72, 80, 87, 81, 86, 83, 84, 87, 96, 93, 95, 92, 92, 98 2.25 The data that were used to make this stem-and-leaf display are: 218, 245, 256, 329, 367, 383, 397, 404, 427, 433, 471, 523, 537, 551, 563, 581, 592, 622, 636, 647, 655, 678, 689, 810, 841 23 Chapter 2 2.26 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 2.27 24 1 0 0 1 8 0 8 a. b. 3 2 2 4 3 3 4 3 6 5 3 7 6 4 6 5 8 6 9 6 9 7 9 7 9 0 1 2 3 4 7 1 1 0 0 9 2 2 0 2 4 2 1 2 5 3 1 4 5 3 2 6 6 4 2 6 7 4 3 8 7 5 4 8 6 6 8 6 7 8 6 7 8 8 9 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 7 1 5 1 5 0 6 0 6 9 2 5 2 6 0 7 2 6 4 6 2 6 1 7 2 8 7 3 6 1 9 4 7 3 8 2 9 8 4 9 2 8 4 9 3 8 8 9 9 2 3 0 1 5 3 5 5 5 6 8 8 8 9 1 2 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 7 8 8 9 2 8 8 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 3 5 0 5 1 8 3 5 1 5 2 5 8 5 3 9 7 6 5 2 6 6 2 7 9 6 9 . 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 9 9 4 a. 0 1 2 3 b. 2.29 9 9 9 Answers will vary, but the split stem-and-leaf display seems to better discern differences in the data in the range 10 โ€“ 30. c. 2.28 2 2 0 3 8 1 5 0 1 2 3 0 5 7 1 2 3 8 8 2 8 8 3 8 8 4 9 9 4 Chapter 2 2.30 a. b. 25 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 2-4 5-6 7-9 58 20 30 05 10 02 40 57 58 05 02 45 38 30 17 05 45 68 * 30 05 60 38 20 06 68 20 38 06 90 50 35 20 70 60 38 21 90 45 50 20 * 60 21 65 70 75 28 65 87 30 65 28 38 70 65 60 75 87 90 * * 10 40 17 45 20 68 35 70 38 90 * 57 68 Section 2.4 2.31 In order to prepare a dotplot, first we draw a horizontal line with numbers that cover the given data set. Then we place a dot above the value on the number line that represents each measurement in the data set. Example 2-12 illustrates this procedure. 2.32 The benefits of a dot plot is that it is quick to form and it can illustrate where data points in a set naturally cluster. 2.33 2.34 Dotplot of Vehicle Fatalities 0 9 18 27 36 Vehicle Fatalities 2.35 45 54 63 Chapter 2 26 2.36 Dotplot of Scores 2.37 35 42 49 56 63 70 77 Scores Supplementary Exercises 2.38 a. and b.

This histogram is misleading because the class widths differ. If you were to change the frequency distribution so that the class widths were equal, the resulting histogram would give a clearer picture. 2.49 a. Using Sturgeโ€™s formula: c = 1 + 3.3log n = 1 + 3.3log135 = 1 + 3.3(2.13033377) = 1 + 7.03 = 8.03 ยป 8 . b.

The top money winners on the menโ€™s tour tend to make more money per tournament than those on the womenโ€™s tour. Earnings on the menโ€™s tour begin at $2300, and more of the data points are toward the higher end of the scale. Earnings on the womenโ€™s tour begin at $800, and more of the data points are toward the lower end of the scale. b. Typical earnings per tournament played for the womenโ€™s tour would be around $2500; typical earnings per tournament played for the menโ€™s tour would be around $3650. c. The data do not appear to have similar spreads for the two tours. Earnings on the menโ€™s tour begin at $2300, the largest grouping is between $2300 and $4800, and go up to $9500. Earnings on the womenโ€™s tour begin at $800, the largest grouping is between $1100 and $2600, and only go up to $7500. Chapter 2 30 d. On the womenโ€™s tour, the $7500 earnings level appears to be an outlier; on the menโ€™s tour, both the $8700 and $9500 earnings levels appear to be outliers. a.

The display shows a bimodal distribution, due to the presence of both females and males in the sample. The males tend to be heavier, so their weights are concentrated in the larger values, while the femalesโ€™ weights are found primarily in the smaller values. c.

An ungrouped data set contains information on each member of a sample or population individually. The first part of Example 2-1 in the text, listing the responses of each of the 30 employees, is an example of ungrouped data. Data presented in the form of a frequency table are called grouped data. Table 2.4 in the solution of Example 2-1 is an example of grouped data. 2. a. 5 b. 7 c. 17 d. 6.5 e. 13.5 f. 90 g. .30 3. A histogram that is identical on both sides of its central point is called a symmetric histogram. A histogram that is skewed to the right has a longer tail on the right side, and a histogram that is skewed to the left has a longer tail on the left side. Figure 2.8 in the text provides graphs of symmetric histograms, Figure 2.9a displays a histogram skewed to the right, and Figure 2.9b displays a histogram that is skewed to the left.
