- false - Stem-and- leaf plots lose their usefulness when data sets are large or when they consist of a large range of values.

Why​ shouldn't classes overlap when summarizing continuous data in a frequency or relative frequency​ distribution? A. Classes​ shouldn't overlap so that they are open ended. B. Classes​ shouldn't overlap so that the class width is as small as possible. C. Classes​ shouldn't overlap so that the distribution is not skewed in one direction. D. Classes​ shouldn't overlap so there is no confusion as to which class an observation belongs.

D. Classes​ shouldn't overlap so there is no confusion as to which class an observation belongs.

Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of histograms versus​ stem-and-leaf plots. A. Stem-and-leaf plots are more useful for large data sets and can display more information than histograms.​ However, they are more difficult to construct. B. Stem-and-leaf plots are easier to make and can contain more information than histograms.​ However, they are not very useful for large data sets. C. Stem-and-leaf plots provide a way to graphically compare​ data, unlike histograms.​ However, they are more difficult to construct. D. Stem-and-leaf plots can compare quantitative data to qualitative​ data, unlike histograms.​ However, they are not very useful for large data sets.

B. Stem-and-leaf plots are easier to make and can contain more information than histograms.​ However, they are not very useful for large data sets.

Is the statement below true or​ false? There is not one particular frequency distribution that is​ correct, but there are frequency distributions that are less desirable than others. A. The statement is false. All correctly constructed frequency distributions for a given data set are valid and give the same information. B. The statement is false. There is only one correct frequency distribution for any given data set. C. The statement is true. Any correctly constructed frequency distribution is valid.​ However, some are less desirable because they take up more space. D. The statement is true. Any correctly constructed frequency distribution is valid.​ However, some choices for the categories or classes give more information about the shape of the distribution.

D. The statement is true. Any correctly constructed frequency distribution is valid.​ However, some choices for the categories or classes give more information about the shape of the distribution.
