3.) A. Stemplot. The dots are too spread out to identify the shape of the distribution. B. Cumulative counts of observations from the bottom up and the top down. The (3) is the location of the median. C. Dotplot: second dot from the left. Stemplot: entry in the second row

2. 4. ) A. Liberty University has a stem of 1 and a leaf of 3
4.) A. Liberty University has a stem of 1 and a leaf of 3. Virginia State has a stem of 1 and a leaf of 1. Row : Hollins, Randolph-Macon Women’s, Sweet Briar, William and Mary B. The 23 community colleges. The stem of 0 represents all colleges and universities with tuition and fees below $10,000.

3. 5. ) The distribution is approximately symmetric with a center of 35
5.) The distribution is approximately symmetric with a center of 35. The range is 40. There are no gaps or outliers.

4. 6.A.
C. The distribution of the amount of money spent by shoppers at this supermarket is skewed right, with a minimum of $3 and a maximum of $93. There are some outliers on the high end. The median is 27.5.

5. Displaying Distributions with Graphs: Histograms
Section 1.1 Day 2

6. Describing distributions
4 things you name when describing the distribution:
SOCS
SHAPE (symmetric, skewed)
OUTLIERS (any “extreme” observations)
CENTER (median, mean)
SPREAD (amount of variability, range)

7. Shape of distributions
Skewed Right
Symmetric
Skewed Left

10. Histograms:
Similar to a stemplot, but you do not record each individual number
Bar graphs -> categorical, leave spaces between bars
Histograms-> quantitative, no spaces

11. How to Make a Histogram:
1.) Decide on your class width. (How many numbers each bar is going to represent.) =Range/Classes Wanted 2.) Find the frequency for each class. 3.) Draw your histogram. Label both axes and put a title.

13. Example: Extracurricular hours
Individually, come to the board and write how many hours a week you work/participate in activities after school.
Create a histogram with 5-10 classes.

14. Example: on the calculator
Percent of College Students Enrolled in Public Institutions- by State

15. How to make Histogram in calculator
Enter data into L1
STAT  EDIT L1
Turn Stat Plot on
2nd Y= Plot 1 On  On
Choose type of graph
3rd option is histogram
Confirm Xlist matches List with data
Zoom 9 to graph

16. One last thing: reading histograms
Each bar includes the left-hand value. The right-hand value is in the next bar.

17. Turn in your answers before you leave!
1.) Explain 2 similarities and 2 differences between stemplots and histograms.
2.) Create a histogram that has:
A.) has at least 10 pieces of data
B.) has a median of 8
C.) is symmetric
