What is the purpose of a stem-and-leaf plot?

Back

A stem-and-leaf plot is used to display quantitative data in a way that retains the original data values while showing the distribution.

What is a circle graph (pie chart)?

Back

A circle graph, or pie chart, is a circular statistical graphic divided into slices to illustrate numerical proportions.

Front

How do you convert data from a histogram to a circle graph?

Back

To convert data from a histogram to a circle graph, calculate the percentage of the total for each interval and represent those percentages as slices of the pie.

Front

What is the relationship between histograms and frequency tables?

Back

Histograms visually represent the data in a frequency table, where the height of each bar corresponds to the frequency of each interval.
