2
Pictures of Data depict the nature or shape of the data distribution Histogram a bar graph in which the horizontal scale represents classes and the vertical scale represents frequencies

Relative Frequency Histogram of Qwerty Word Ratings Figure 2-3 0 - 238.5% 3 - 526.9% 6 - 828.8% 9 - 11 3.8% 12 - 14 1.9% Rating Relative Frequency

Histogram and Relative Frequency Histogram Figure 2-2 Figure 2-3

Frequency Polygons A frequency polygon is created by joining class midpoints of each class of a histogram by line segments. To complete the polygon, assume a class interval with zero frequency before the first class interval. Connect that point with the next class’s midpoint, and then connect all class midpoints. Assume a class interval with zero frequency after the last class interval.

Ogive (called “o-jive”) An ogive is a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution. It shows how many of values of the data are below a certain boundary.

Dot Plot A dot chart or dot plot is a chart that is made up of a group of data points plotted on a simple scale. These plots are suitable for small to moderate sized data sets, and can highlight gaps and outliers. Gaps

13
Stem and Leaf Plots Stem-and-leaf plots are a method for showing the frequency with which certain values occur. To construct a stem plot: Sort data points in ascending order The leaf will contain the last digit of the number, and the stem will contain all other digits.

Pareto Chart A Pareto chart is a bar graph that helps identify which parts of a data set occur most frequently, and it puts those parts first. It shows, in descending order and from left to right, the frequency of events being studied.
