Statistical Measures and Data Representation

Anil Kumar introduces stem and leaf plots, explaining their advantages and how to use them. He provides example data of student heights and poses questions to solve using a stem and leaf plot. The video guides viewers through creating the plot, analyzing it to find the range, mode, and median, and answering additional questions about the data. The video concludes by highlighting the benefits of stem and leaf plots over other data representations.

What is a key advantage of using stem and leaf plots?

• They are colorful.

• They allow for easy calculation of mean.

• They help in identifying the mode and median easily.

• They require complex software to create.

What is the nature of the data provided in the example?

• It is sorted in ascending order.

• It is raw and unarranged.

• It is sorted in descending order.

• It is grouped into categories.

Which of the following is NOT one of the questions to be answered using the data?

• What is the range of height?

• What is the mode height?

• What is the median height?

• What is the mean height?

In a stem and leaf plot, what does the 'leaf' represent?

• The tens place of the number.

• The decimal place of the number.

• The one's place of the number.

• The hundreds place of the number.

What is the range of the given data set?

• 43

• 53

• 33

• 63

Which height is the most frequently occurring in the data set?

• 160 cm

• 175 cm

• 170 cm

• 165 cm

How is the median calculated in this example?

• By summing all values and dividing by the number of values.

• By taking the highest and lowest values.

• By averaging the 10th and 11th values.

• By finding the middle value of the sorted data.

Why might a stem and leaf plot be preferred over a histogram?

• It is easier to draw by hand.

• It requires less data.

• It allows for easy identification of individual data points.

• It is more visually appealing.

What percentage of students have a height greater than 175 cm?

• 10%
