Exploring Data Displays and Associations

The video tutorial covers the use of data displays to find associations among variables. It explains how to create and interpret relative frequency tables, bar graphs, and segmented bar graphs. The tutorial includes examples involving sports and musical instruments, as well as a real-world scenario with an eraser factory. The focus is on understanding how to read tables, calculate percentages, and visually compare data to identify associations.

What is the difference between a frequency table and a relative frequency table?

• Frequency tables use percentages, while relative frequency tables use numbers

• Frequency tables are for sports data, while relative frequency tables are for musical data

What is the purpose of using colors or shading in a segmented bar graph?

• To represent different categories

• To confuse the reader

• To highlight the outline

• To make the graph look attractive

What can be inferred from the segmented bar graph about the association between playing sports and playing a musical instrument?
