Compare Two Sets of Data Within a Single Data Display

What is a back to back stem and leaf plot used for?

• To display data in a visual format.

• To analyze trends in a single set of data.

• To calculate the mean of a data set.

• To compare two sets of data

When would you use a back to back stem and leaf plot instead of a regular stem and leaf plot?

• When displaying data with a large range of values.

• When visualizing data with outliers.

• When comparing two sets of data side by side.

• When comparing data from different time periods.

What are the advantages of using a split stem and leaf plot?

• The advantages of using a split stem and leaf plot include easier comparison of data sets, identification of patterns or trends, clearer representation of data distribution, and more detailed analysis.

• The split stem and leaf plot is time-consuming and tedious to create.

• Using a split stem and leaf plot can lead to misinterpretation of data.

• Split stem and leaf plots are not suitable for large data sets.

What is the primary purpose of a scatter plot?

• To represent data using bars

• To summarize data in a table

• To show the relationship between two quantitative variables

• To display categorical data

What is the best application for a Double Bar Graph?

• Comparing two sets of data over a period

• Illustrating changes in data over time

• Showing relationships between two variables

• Displaying hierarchical data

What is the best use of a Bar Graph?

• To compare different groups of data visually

• To represent continuous data over time

A school is having a contest in which students guess the number of candies in a jar. The student whose guess is closest to the correct number of candies in the jar wins a prize. The number of candies guessed by male and female students is shown in the back-to-back stemplot. Which of the following statements is true about the distributions of guesses?

• The distribution of guesses for male students is skewed to the left, and the distribution of guesses for female students is skewed to the right.

• The distribution of guesses for male students is skewed to the right, and the distribution of guesses for female students is skewed to the left.

• The distributions of guesses for male and female students are both skewed to the right.

• The distributions of guesses for male and female students are both skewed to the left.

• The distributions of guesses for male and female students are both symmetric.

A car rental agency has two locations in a city. The boxplots below summarize the miles driven for one day of single-day car rentals at each location.

Based on the boxplots, which statement provides the best comparison of the two locations?

• The number of single-day rentals is greater for location A than for location B.

• The number of single-day rentals is less for location A than for location B.

• Compared with location A, the miles driven for location B display more variability, and the median is greater.

• Compared with location A, the miles driven for location B display less variability, and the median is greater.

• Compared with location A, the miles driven for location B display less variability, and the median is about the same.
