Data Distribution with Graphs

These are used as the border between two consecutive bars in a histogram. They are the intermediate value between an upper class limit and the next lower class limit.

• class limits

• class boundaries

• frequencies

• class marks

Find the midpoints.

• 25.5, 35.5, 45.5, 55.5, 65.5, 75.5

• 20.5, 30.5, 40.5, 50.5, 60.5, 70.5, 80.5

• 21, 31, 41, 51, 61, 71

• 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80

Find the cumulative frequencies.

• 28, 56, 84, 100

• 28, 58, 70, 72, 74, 76

• 33%, 37%, 20%, 7%, 7%, 7%

• 28, 30, 12, 2, 2, 2

A type of bar graph used to display numerical data that has been organized into equal intervals.

• Line Plot

• Interval

• Frequency Table

• Histogram

How is the data distributed in this histogram?

• Symmetrically

• Skewed Right

• Skewed Left

What is the shape of the data?

• symmetrical

• skewed left

• skewed right

• bell curve

The distribution of this data set can best be described as...

• Right-skewed

• Left-skewed

• Symmetrical

• Purple

Answer explanation

The tail is on the right, so it is right-skewed.

Is a histogram the same as a bar graph?

• Yes, because they both use intervals.

• No, because a histogram displays numerical data while a bar graph displays categorical data.

• Yes, because they both use bars to display data.

• No, because a histogram displays categorical data while a bar graph displays numerical data.

Find the relative frequencies

• 37%, 76%, 92%, 95%, 98%, 100%

• 28%, 30%, 12%, 2%, 2%, 2%

• 33%, 37%, 20%, 7%, 7%, 7%

• 37%, 39%, 16%, 3%, 3%, 3%

Complete the definition:

• class boundaries

• lower class limits

• upper lass limits

• midpoints
