2
Stem-and-Leaf Plots Each number is separated into a STEM and LEAF component. The STEM is the leftmost digit(s). The LEAF is the rightmost digit. It’s important to include a key to identify values. For example… Key: 15 | 5 = 155
3
Use the stem-and-leaf plot to list the actual data entries.
4
Make a stem-and-leaf plot: Ages of the top 30 highest paid CEOs (Forbes Magazine). 647455 6263 506751595052 505962645761 496362605556 48586460 57
5
Pie Chart (for Qualitative Data) A circle divided into sectors that represent categories. The area of each sector is proportional to the frequency of the category. Find RELATIVE Frequency and multiply by 360 o to get the central angle for each category.
6
Use a Pie Chart to display data 2010 NASA budget request (in millions of dollars) Science, aeronautics, exploration 8947 Space Operations6176 Education126 Cross-agency support3401 Inspector general36
7
Pareto Chart (for Qualitative Data) Vertical bar graph in which the height of each bar represents the frequency or relative frequency. Bars are positioned in order of decreasing height, left to right. EX: Make a Pareto chart Ultraviolet indices for 5 cities at noon: AtlantaBoiseConcordDenverMiami 978710
8
Scatter Plot (for Paired Data Sets) Paired data Ordered pairs. Plot on a coordinate plane. Independent variable on the x-axis.
9
EX: make a scatter plot: # of students per teacher Avg teacher’s salary (in thousands$) 17.128.7 17.547.5 18.931.8 17.128.1 20.040.3 18.333.8 14.449.8 16.537.5 13.342.5 18.431.9
10
Measures of Central Tendency
11
Measure of Central Tendency: A value that represents a typical, or central, entry of a data set. 3 most common are MEAN, MEDIAN, and MODE
12
MEAN: sum of the data entries divided by n
13
MEDIAN The data entry in the MIDDLE. List data from least to greatest. Find the middle value. (For even n, find the average of the 2 middle values)
14
MODE Data entry that occurs MOST often (highest frequency) A data set may have no mode or have more than mode. BIMODAL = 2 modes.
15
EX: Find mean, median, and mode for the data set.
16
Weighted MEAN: data values have different weights.
17
EX: find the weighted mean
18
