Chapter 2: Q. 7 (page 88)

Some users of statistics prefer pie charts to bar charts because people are accustomed to having the horizontal axis of a graph show order. For example, someone "Republican" is less than "Other" because "Republican" is shown to the left of "Other" on the horizontal axis. Pie charts do not lead to such inferences. Give other advantages and disadvantages of each method.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Pie charts are more difficult to create than bar charts.

Step by step solution

01

Concept introduction

The "pie chart," commonly named a "wheel layout," is a spherical quantitative chart that is segmented into regions or halves to depict complicated issues.

02

Explanation

A bar chart is a chart or graph that uses rectangular bars to display category data.

In bar charts, determining the upper bar for values with roughly the same frequency is easier, however in pie charts it is more challenging.

Women in the Workforce. In an issue of Science (Vol. 308, No. 5721 , p. 483), D. Normile reported on a study from the Japan Statistics Bureau of the30industrialized countries in the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) titled "Japan Mulls Workforce Goals for Women." Following are the percentages of women in scientific workforces for a sample of 17countries. Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these percentages.

PCBs and Pelicans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. W. Risebrough, is titled "Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man" (Proceedings of the 6ed Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443-463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm). Following is a relative-frequency histogram of the PCB concentration data.

Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for the data, using one line per stem.
