Given the following histogram for a set of data, how many values in the data set are greater than 10.5 but less than 12.5?

5 Remember that the height of each bar in a histogram equals the number of values that are in the range for that bar. So to find the number of values which are greater than 10.5 but less than 12.5, we look at the heights of the bars between those values and add them. 2+3=5

A data set is summarized in the frequency table below. Using the table, determine the number of data values less than or equal to 5. Give your answer as a single number. For example if you found the number of values was 19, you would enter 19.

$16$16​ To find the number of data values less than or equal to 5, we add the frequencies for the values 3, 4, and 5. The relevant values are highlighted in the table below. Summing the frequencies for these values, we find 9+4+3=16

The bar graph below shows the number of men and women in different classes. What is the total number of women across all the classes shown? Do not include the units in your answer

To find the total number of women across all of the classes shown, you should find the height of the red bar from each group and add them. This comes out to 10+16+15=41.

Which of the following sets of data should not be displayed with a pie chart? Assume that only the two given categories will be included.

the percentage of people that own dogs and the percentage of people that own cats A pie chart is not appropriate if the given data has percentages that sum to greater than 100%, resulting from overlap in categories, or less than 100%, resulting from omitting other categories. If an individual could be in each of the categories or neither of the categories, a pie chart will not be sufficient.

A group of students were surveyed about the number of books they read last summer. Their responses are summarized in the relative frequency table below. What is the cumulative relative frequency of students that read 5 or fewer books?

$0.76$0.76​ The cumulative relative frequency is the accumulation of the previous relative frequencies. To find any missing number in the cumulative relative frequency column of a table, add the relative frequencies in the previous column for the corresponding row and all previous rows. The Cumulative Relative Frequency of students that read 5 or fewer books is the sum of the first three Relative Frequencies: 0.08+0.36+0.32=0.76

An insurance company hires an analytics company to collect data on various factors affecting the health of its customers and potential customers. One question they sought to answer was how many hours a week adults are exercising. The company they hired used their own database of email addresses to send out a survey to a random sample. The responses from 31 of the surveys are included below. Create a dot plot of the dataset using Excel. Choose the correct dot plot below.

To construct a dot plot with Excel follow these steps: 1. Open Excel and put the data in column A starting at A1. 2. In cell B2 enter "=COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,A2)". 3. Copy and paste B2 to each cell below B2 that is adjacent to thedata in column A. This counts the occurrence of each value in the dataset. 4. Create a scatter plot with the count on the vertical axis and the values on the horizontal axis. The dot plot should look like the following image.

David conducted a survey in which he collected data on the percentage of students that have science majors and the percentage of students that have humanities majors. Which of the following could sufficiently display the data if only the two given categories are to be included?

bar graph The two given categories of data could potentially have overlap. In addition to this, it is likely that there are individuals that do not belong to either category. In this sense, the percentages will not account for 100% of the individuals sampled and a pie chart will not sufficiently display the data. A bar graph should be used.

The cumulative relative frequency table for a set of data is shown below. What is the missing cumulative relative frequency?

$0.6$0.6​ The cumulative relative frequency is the accumulation of the previous relative frequencies. To find any missing number in the cumulative relative frequency column of a table, add the relative frequencies in the previous column for the corresponding row and all previous rows. The missing Cumulative Relative Frequency is the sum of the first three Relative Frequencies: 0.1+0.2+0.3=0.6

A data set is summarized in the frequency table below. Using the table, determine the total number of values in the data set that are less than or equal to 7.

The relative frequencies for a set of data are shown in the table below. If there are a total of 20 data values, with what frequency does the data value 3 occur?

$9$9​ Dividing each frequency by the total number of data values gives the relative frequency. So multiplying the relative frequency by the total number of data values gives the frequency. The data value 3 occurs with relative frequency 0.45 in a data set of 20 values, so the frequency of the data value 3 is 0.45(20)=9 . The data value 3 occurs 9 times.

Given the frequency table below, what is the relative frequency of the data value 8?

$\frac{6}{30}$630​​ Add the frequencies to find total number of data values in the set of data. 2+7+9+6+6=30 Dividing each frequency by this total gives the relative frequency. The data value 8 occurs with frequency 6, so the relative frequency for the value 8 is6/30=0.2

The bar graph below shows the number of men and women in different groups. What is the total number of men across all the groups shown? Do not include the units in your answer.

Correct answers:$29$29​ To find the total number of men across all of the groups shown, you should find the height of the blue bar from each group and add them. This comes out to 13+16=29.

Several executives were asked how many suits they own. The results are tabulated in the following frequency table. Which histogram accurately summarizes the data?

Remember that the height of each bar in a histogram equals the number of values that are in the range for that bar. So for example, to find the first bar, which has values greater than 7.5 but less than 8.5, we note that the frequency for 8 is 6, so the height of that bar is 6.

The students in a gym class measured the length of their longest jump (in feet). The results were tallied and are reported in the following histogram. How many students jumped greater than 8.5 but less than 11.5 feet?

Remember that the height of each bar in a histogram equals the number of values that are in the range for that bar. So to find the number of values which are greater than 8.5 but less than 11.5, we look at the heights of the bars between those values and add them. 3+3+1=7

The sales department from Real Madrid wants to find the relationship between memorabilia sales and number of goals during games. The first part of the research is to determine the frequency of goals per game. The frequency table below shows the number of goals Real Madrid scored in each of their soccer games in April and May of 2015. Given the frequency table below, which of the following is the corresponding relative frequency table?

Value0123479Frequency 0.071 0.214 0.143 0.286 0.143 0.071 0.071 By adding the frequencies, we see that there are a total of 14 games in the set of data. Dividing each frequency by this total gives the relative frequency. So, the relative frequency for the value 0 is 114=0.071 The relative frequency for the value 1 is 314=0.214 Continuing in this manner you find that the second answer choice has the correct relative frequency table.

A university is hosting a summer camp for various age groups. The table below gives the relative frequency distribution for the various age groups who have registered for the camp. It is known that 50 individuals have registered for the camp. How many individuals are between the ages of 9 and 11 years old?

We are told the total number of individuals who have currently registered for the camp, and, from the table, we know that 40% of these individuals are between the ages of 9 and 11 years old. To determine the frequency of registered 9 to 11 years old, we find the product of the total number of registered individuals and the relative frequency of 9 to 11 year-olds. (50)(0.40)=20 Thus, 20 individuals between the ages of 9 to 11 year-olds have registered for the summer camp.

According to the information above, which of the following is an appropriate analysis of the snowfall amounts?

From the data, there was fluctuating snowfall during the five days. The y-values represent the snowfall amounts each day. As you move from left to right along the x-axis, the y-values fluctuate up and down. For example, at day 1, there was 2 inches of snowfall. At day 2, there was 6 inches of snowfall, but by day 3, the snowfall amount dropped to 2 inches.

A travel agency is conducting research on how many times families went on vacation during the last year. The following table shows the number of times sampled families went on vacation.

Remember that the height of each bar in a bar graph equals the number of values that fall in that bar category. So for example, to find the first bar, which represents no vacations, we note that the frequency for no vacations is 3 in the table, so the height of that bar is 3. Therefore, 3 families did not go on vacation during the last year

The ages of the students in a creative writing seminar are listed below. 17,22,20,18,19,20,17,17,22,18,20,18,17,18,21,18,18,19,19,19,20,19,21,21 Complete the frequency table.

The frequency of a data value is the number of times it appears in the data set. Count the number of time each age appears in the list. 17,22,20,18,19,20,17,17,22,18,20,18,17,18,21,18,18,19,19,19,20,19,21,21 The age 17 appears 4 times. The age 18 appears 6 times. The age 19 appears 5 times. The age 20 appears 4 times. The age 21 appears 3 times. The age 22 appears 2 times.

A set of data is summarized by the stem and leaf plot below. Stem12Leaf26688899900112455567

There are 1$$ values in the data set which are greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 19. There are 2$$ values in the data set which are greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 29. Correct answers:1$9$9​2$11$11​ Remember that every entry in the leaf column corresponds to a value in the data set. To see about values in a certain range, find the stem for the values you want. For instance, there are 9 entries in the leaf column of the first row (with stem 1), so there are 9 values in the data set which are greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 19.

Jason polled a large sample of students to find the percentage of in-state students and the percentage of out-of-state students. Which data display(s) could sufficiently display the data if only the two given categories are to be included?

either a pie chart or a bar graph Each person surveyed must fit in exactly one of given data categories. This implies that the percentages must account for 100% of the individuals in the sample. Therefore, either a bar graph or a pie chart will sufficiently display the data.

Which of the following sets of data should not be displayed with a pie chart? Assume that only the two given categories will be included.

the percentage of people who have a full-time job and the percentage of people who have a part-time job A pie chart is not appropriate if the given data has percentages that sum to more than 100%, resulting from overlap in categories, or less than 100%, resulting from omitting other categories. If an individual could be in each of the categories or neither of the categories, a pie chart will not be sufficient. In the case above, it is possible that a single individual could have both a full-time job and a part-time job, which would make the percentages sum to more than 100%.

Gail is a car salesperson, who keeps track of her sales over time. The line graph below shows the data for the number of cars she sells per week. At what week were her sales 8? Do not include the unit in your answer.

The following data set provides bitcoin transactions throughout 2016 and 2017. What is the ratio of days of transactions between 300,000 and 349,999 conducted in May 2017 as compared to April 2017?

13:9 In May 2017, 13 days had transactions between 300,000 and 349,000. In April 2017, 9 days had transactions between 300,000 and 349,000.

According to the data given in the previous question, what can the travel agency conclude about the sampled families?

According to the data, a majority of the sampled families went on vacation at least twice. 18 families went on vacation at least twice. Since 32 families were sampled by the travel agency, 18 families represent a majority of the families sampled. Therefore, according to this data, a majority of the sampled families went on vacation at least twice.

If the gym was going to expand only one part of their gym to provide more space, which area should they most likely expand?

According to the data, the gym should expand the runner's track. According to the data, if the gym could only expand one room, the gym should expand the track. 22 people chose running as their preferred work-out, which has the highest bar in the bar graph.

Students at Bruce's school are allowed to play more than one sport. So, Brent polled a large sample of students to find how many students were on each sports team at the high school - basketball, volleyball, baseball, and hockey. Which of the following could sufficiently display the data if only the four given categories are to be included?

Bar Graph As long as there is no overlap of data values (i.e. a data value does not fall into two different categories), you may use either a bar graph or a pie chart. But, in this case, students can play more than one sport, and so one data value (or student) could fall in two or more categories. So, it is better to use a bar graph. A pie chart with overlapping data values can be misleading.

Bar graph: a graph to summarize and organize categorical data consisting of rectangular bars that are separated from each other and the length (or height) of the bar for each category is proportional to the number or percent of individuals in each categoryA Bar graph may also be referred to as a Bar chart Categorical data: data separated into qualitative categories Pie chart: a type of graph where a circle is divided into sectors, or slices, which each show the proportion of that subcategory compared to the wholeA Pie chart may also be referred to as a Pie graph or a Circle graph Line graph: a bar graph with the tops of the bars represented by points joined by lines (with rest of the bar not shown) and are only appropriate for ordered (rather than qualitative) variables that show how a quantity changes over timeA Line graph may also be referred to as a Line chart or as a Time series graph

According to the information above, which of the following is an appropriate analysis of the taxi's distance?

From the data, the taxi was farthest, in miles, from the depot after 5 hours. At hour 5, along the x-axis, the taxi was 10 miles from the taxi depot. 10 is the largest y-value plotted on the line graph, which is the farthest distance (in miles) the taxi traveled from the depot.

The Terman Study of the Gifted followed children who scored above a certain level on an I.Q. test into adulthood. The study collected information on the same participants, including the average height of the group, approximately every five years. Which of the following could best display how the average height of participants changes over time?

Line graph Line graphs are best used to show comparison of a changing quantity over time. The x-axis on the line graph could represent the year of the study, while the y-axis could show the average height of participants that year. A bar graph could display the data, with each bar as a different year, but would not be as effective in showing the increase or decrease over time as a line graph. A pie chart would not have been appropriate, since there is not a "whole" to which you can compare each category.

A chess club meets every month and the members each tally how many times they won a game of chess during the past month. The following table shows the number of wins for each member of the club. Create the corresponding bar graph to represent this data below. Drag the dots on the top of the bar graph to create the chart.

Remember that the height of each bar in a bar graph equals the number of values that fall in that bar category. So for example, to find the first bar, which represents the number of wins for Joe, we note that the frequency for wins by Joe is 0 in the table, so the height of that bar is 0. Therefore, Joe won 0 games of chess during the past month. joe-0 aaron-6 karen-7 michelle-7 barbara-12

Given the relative frequency table below, which of the following is the corresponding cumulative relative frequency table? Value- Frequency 2-0.23 3-0.33 4-0.23 5-0.21

Vance is a road and driving safety expert who is working with a data collection firm to analyze how much people drive to and from work. Vance randomly selected 26 employees who work at an office that agreed to let Vance poll their employees. The data are included below. Create the dot plot of the dataset using Excel. Find the median and the mode using the dot plot.

$\text{Median}=0.50,\ \text{Mode}=0.25$Median=0.50, Mode=0.25​ To construct a dot plot with Excel follow these steps: 1. Open Excel and put the data in column A starting at A1. 2. In cell B2 enter "=COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,A2)". 3. Select cell B2 and pull down the bottom right square until the column is aligned with the column to the left. This gives you the occurrence of each value in the dataset. 4. Create a scatter plot with the count on the vertical axis and the values on the horizontal axis.

The dot plot shows a right-skewed distribution with a median of 6 and a mode of 8, indicating that while most people interact with or look at around 6 to 8 screens, some users interact with many more screens. To construct a dot plot with Excel follow these steps: 1. Open Excel and put the data in column A starting at A1. 2. In cell B2 write "=COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,A2)". 3. Copy and paste B2 to each cell below B2 that is adjacent to the data in column A. This counts the occurrence of each value in the dataset. 4. Create a scatter plot with the count on the vertical axis and the values on the horizontal axis. To find the median, count an equal number of dots from the left side and from the right side to identify the dot in the middle. If there are two middle dots, then average their value. The mode(s) is/are the location(s) on the horizontal axis of the tallest column of dots. For the given dataset, there are two middle dots, both above 6. Therefore, the median is 6. The tallest column of dots is above 8, where there are 5 dots. Therefore, the mode is 8. The right tail of the distribution is longer than the left tail, so the distribution is right-skewed. This indicates that while most people interact with or look at around 6 to 8 screens, some users interact with many more screens.

A study was sponsored by an organization dedicated to the health and well-being of domesticated canines and felines. For the study, a large pet store chain distributed surveys to a random sampling of customers. One of the questions asked people how many cats and dogs they had. The results of a sample of 32 answers are included below. Create the dot plot of the dataset using Excel, and then interpret the plot. Choose the correct answer below.

The dot plot shows an approximately symmetric distribution with a median of 2 and a mode of 2, indicating that most customers of the pet store cluster around having 2 cats or dogs. To construct a dot plot with Excel follow these steps: 1. Open Excel and put the data in column A starting at A1. 2. In cell B2 write "=COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,A2)". 3. Copy and paste B2 to each cell below B2 that is adjacent to the data in column A. This counts the occurrence of each value in the dataset. 4. Create a scatter plot with the count on the vertical axis and the values on the horizontal axis. To find the median, count an equal number of dots from the left side and from the right side to identify the dot in the middle. If there are two middle dots, then average their value. The mode(s) is/are the location(s) on the horizontal axis of the tallest column of dots. For the given dataset, the middle dot is above 2. Therefore, the median is 2. The tallest column of dots is above 2, where there are 14 dots. Therefore, the mode is 2. The right tail of the distribution is the same length as the left tail, so the distribution is approximately symmetric. This indicates that most customers of the pet store cluster around having 2 cats or dogs.

To see about values in a certain range, find the stem for the values you want. For instance, there are 6 entries in the leaf column of the first row (with stem 1), so there are 6 values in the data set which are greater than or equal to 10 and less than or equal to 19. 8, 6, 14

A principal is trying to determine how many students attend detention each school night. She records the number of students attending detention after school for 22 school days. The data are provided below. Create the dot plot of the dataset using Excel, and then interpret the plot.

The dot plot shows an approximately uniform distribution, where values 0 through 6 have frequencies from 2 to 5. So, the number of students attending detention each day is a mix of relatively few students, relatively many students, and days that are somewhere in the middle. To construct a dot plot with Excel follow these steps: 1. Open Excel and put the data in column A starting at A1. 2. In cell B2 write "=COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,A2)". 3. Copy and paste B2 to each cell below B2 that is adjacent to the data in column A. This counts the occurrence of each value in the dataset. 4. Create a scatter plot with the count on the vertical axis and the values on the horizontal axis. To find the median, count an equal number of dots from the left side and from the right side to identify the dot in the middle. If there are two middle dots, then average their value. The mode(s) is/are the location(s) on the horizontal axis of the tallest column of dots. For the given dataset, there are two middle dots. One is above 2 and the other is above 3. Therefore, the median is their average, 2.5. The tallest column of dots is above 1, where there are 5 dots. Therefore, the mode is 1. There does not appear to be any clustering around the median or mode, so the distribution cannot be said to be skewed. The dot plot is relatively flat, suggesting that the distribution is uniform.

Given the frequency table below, which of the following is the corresponding relative frequency table? Value-Frequency 1-6 2-8 3-3 4-8

ValueFrequency10.2420.3230.1240.32 By adding the frequencies, we see that there are a total of 25 values in the set of data. Dividing each frequency by this total gives the relative frequency. So, for example, the relative frequency for the value 1 is 6/25=0.24 This relative frequency table could be used by HR to have employees rate how satisfied they are with their end of year reviews on a scale of least 1 - most 4. Then, finding the relative frequency to compare satisfaction percentages.

Karen polled a large sample of individuals to find the percentage of people who own cell phones and the percentage of people who own tablets. Which of the following could sufficiently display the data if only the two given categories are to be included?

bar graph The two given categories of data could potentially have overlap. In addition to this, it is likely that there are individuals that do not belong to either category. In this sense, the percentages will not account for 100% of the individuals sampled and a pie chart will not sufficiently display the data. A bar graph should be used.
