Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 3 Pie Chart A pie chart is a circle that is divided into sectors that represent categories. The area of each sector is proportional to the frequency of each category. Accidental Deaths in the USA in 2002 (Source: US Dept. of Transportation) Continued.

Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 7 Pareto Chart A Pareto chart is a vertical bar graph is which the height of each bar represents the frequency. The bars are placed in order of decreasing height, with the tallest bar to the left. Accidental Deaths in the USA in 2002 (Source: US Dept. of Transportation) Continued.

Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 9 Scatter Plot When each entry in one data set corresponds to an entry in another data set, the sets are called paired data sets. In a scatter plot, the ordered pairs are graphed as points in a coordinate plane. The scatter plot is used to show the relationship between two quantitative variables. The following scatter plot represents the relationship between the number of absences from a class during the semester and the final grade. Continued.

Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 10 Scatter Plot AbsencesGrade x y Final grade (y) Absences (x) 100 From the scatter plot, you can see that as the number of absences increases, the final grade tends to decrease.

Larson & Farber, Elementary Statistics: Picturing the World, 3e 12 Times Series Chart A data set that is composed of quantitative data entries taken at regular intervals over a period of time is a time series. A time series chart is used to graph a time series. Example: The following table lists the number of minutes Robert used on his cell phone for the last six months. Continued. MonthMinutes January 236 February 242 March 188 April175 May199 June 135 Construct a time series chart for the number of minutes used.

However, some data are difficult to organize in a stem-and-leaf plot. 12 The value of the stock portfolio has increased from around $5,000 in 2000 to almost $30,000 in The most frequent incident occurring while driving and using a cell phone is swerving, twice as many people “sped up” than “cut off a car”
