Acute Postoperative Days. Several neurosurgeons wanted to determine whether a dynamic system (Z-plate) reduced the number of acute postoperative days in the hospital relative to a static system (ALPS plate). R. Jacobowitz, Ph.D., an Arizona State University professor, along with G. Vishteh, M.D., and other neurosurgeons obtained the following data on the number of acute postoperative days in the hospital using the dynamic and static systems.

Explain the advantages and disadvantages of frequency histograms versus frequency distributions.

For instance, consider the grouped days-to-maturity data given in Table 2.10(b) on page 57.

From that table, we see that the cumulative frequency of investments with a maturity period of less than 50day is 4(3+1)and, therefore, the cumulative relative frequency is0.1(4/40).

Table 2.14shows all cumulative information for the days-to-maturity data.

Cumulative information for days-to-maturity data.

a. Round each observation to the nearest year and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of the rounded data.

b. Truncate each observation by dropping the decimal part, and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of the truncated data.

c. Compare the stem-and-leaf diagrams that you obtained in parts (a) and (b).

Cholesterol Levels. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average cholesterol level for children between 4 and 19 years 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 relative frequency histogram shows the readings for some patients who had high cholesterol levels.

Baltimore Ravens. From Player Roster, the official roster of the 2013 Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens, we obtained the heights, in inches, of the players on that team. A dot plot of those heights is as follows.
