2-4: Other Types of Graphs Several types of graphs are used in statistics besides histograms, frequency polygons, and ogives. Other graphs include: Pareto Charts Time Series Graphs Pie Graphs
3
Pareto Charts Pareto Chart – used to represent a frequency distribution for a categorical variable. Frequencies are displayed by the height Bars are arranged from the highest to the lowest. Tips for Drawing Pareto Charts Make the bars the same width. Arrange the data from largest to smallest according to frequency. Make the units that are used for the frequency equal in size. Section 2-4
4
Activity: Pareto Chart Create a Pareto Chart using the following info: Average Cost Per Mile for Passenger Vehicles on State Turnpikes Section 2-4 StateNumber Indiana2.9 cents Oklahoma4.3 cents Florida6.0 cents Maine3.8 cents Pennsylvania5.8 cents
5
Time Series Graph Time Series Graph – represents data that occurs over a specific period of time. Tips for Time Series Graph Draw and label the x and y axes. The x axis usually represents time, the y axis an amount. Plot each point according to the table. Draw line segments connecting adjacent points. Section 2-4
6
Activity: Time Series Graph Create a Time Series Graph using the following info: The Number (in millions) of Vehicles That Used the Pennsylvania Turnpike:1999-2003 Section 2-4 YearNumber 1999156.2 2000160.1 2001162.3 2002172.8 2003179.4

Pie Graph Pie Graph – a circle that is divided into sections or wedges according to the percentage of frequencies in each category of the distribution. Tips for Drawing Pie Graphs Determine the degree measure for each piece of the pie. Take the frequency, divide it by the sum of the frequencies, then multiply it by 360 degrees. Determine the percentage for each piece of the pie. Create the graph Section 2-4
8
Activity: Pie Graph Create a Pie Graph using the following info: Pounds of Snacks Eaten During the Super Bowl Section 2-4 SnackPounds (Frequency) Potato Chips11.2 million Tortilla Chips8.2 million Pretzels4.3 million Popcorn3.8 million Peanuts2.5 million

Stem and Leaf Plot Stem and Leaf Plot – data plot that uses part of the data values as the stem and part of the data values as the leaf to form groups or classes. Tips for Drawing Stem and Leaf Plot Arrange the data in order. Separate data according to the first digit shown. The first digit becomes the “stem” and the trailing digit(s) becomes the “leaf” i.e. for the number 14, 1 is the stem and 4 is the leaf. Section 2-4
10
Activity: Stem and Leaf Plot Create a Stem and Leaf plot using the following info: Number of Cardiograms Performed Over 20 Days Section 2-4 2531203213 1443025723 3632333244 3252445145
