Chapter 2: Q. 2.167 (page 86)

The Federal Reserve System publishes weekly figures for M2 money supply in the document Money Stock Measures. M2 includes such things as cash in circulation, deposits in checking accounts, nonbank traveller's checks, accounts such as savings deposits, and money-market mutual funds. The following bar chart provides data on the M2 money supply over 3months during one year.

a. What is wrong with the bar chart?

b. Construct a version of the bar chart with a nontruncated and unmodified vertical axis.

c. Construct a version of the bar chart in which the vertical axis is modified in an acceptable manner.

Short Answer

(a) The wrong with the chart is that bars do not start at 0

(b)

(c)

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

A bar chart, sometimes known as a bar graph, is a graph or chart that displays categorical data using rectangular bars with heights or lengths proportional to the values they represent.

The wrong with the chart is that bars do not starts at 0.

03

Part (b) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

The y axis of a truncated graph does not begin at 0. These graphs might provide the impression of significant change when there is actually very little. While shortened graphs can be useful for overdrawing differences or saving space, they are frequently avoided.

For the chart with untruncated and unmodified vertical axis the bar now should start with 0. So,

05

Part (c) Step 1: Given information

The given data is

06

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

For the chart with modified vertical axis the bar now should start at 0and //should represent in place of truncation.

So, the graph will be :

Class Project: Number of Siblings. This exercise is a class project and works best in relatively large classes.

a. Determine the number of siblings for each student in the class.

b. Obtain a relative-frequency histogram for the number of siblings. Use single-value grouping.

c. Obtain a simple random sample of about one-third of the students in the class.

d. Find the number of siblings for each student in the sample.

e. Obtain a relative-frequency histogram for the number of siblings for the sample. Use single-value grouping.

f. Repeat parts (c)-(e) three more times.

g. Compare the histograms for the samples to each other and to that for the entire population. Relate your observations to key Fact 2.1

Discuss the relative advantages and disadvantages of stem-and leaf diagrams versus frequency histograms.

Identify an important reason for grouping data.

We have drawn a smooth curve that represents a distribution,

a. Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.

b. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)

c . If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric, classify it as either right skewed or left skewed.

Cholesterol Levels. According to the National Health and

Control and Prevention, the average cholesterol level for children between 4and 19years of age is 165mg/dL. A pediatrician who tested the cholesterol levels of several young patients was alarmed to find that many had levels higher than 200mg/dL. The following relativefrequency histogram shows the readings for some patients who had high cholesterol levels.

Use the graph to answer the following questions. Note that cholesterol levels are always expressed as whole numbers.

a. What percentage of the patients have cholesterol levels between 205and 209, inclusive?

b. What percentage of the patients have levels of 215or higher?

c. If the number of patients is 20, how many have levels between 210and 214, inclusive?
