Part (a) Step 1: Given Information

Given data:

02

Part (a) Step 2: Explanation

The following is the process for determining the qualitative data frequency distribution:

  • Begin by listing the various values in the first column.
  • Use tally marks to represent the number of times each data set value appears in the second column.
  • In the third column, count the number of tally marks and enter the frequency for each.

In the table below, you can see the frequency distribution.

Part (b) Step 1: Given Information

Given data:

04

Part (b) Step 2: Explanation

The relative frequency is expressed as follows:

Relative Frequency=FrequencyNumberofObservations

The frequency distribution is presented in the table below.

Part (c) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB has been used to create the pie chart.

The portion for each class in a pie chart is calculated by multiplying 360oby the appropriate relative frequencies.

The steps of drawing a pie chart are as follows:

  • Navigate to Graph > Pie Chart.
  • Choose the chart that counts unique data.
  • Select your CLASS LEVELS.
  • Go to the Labels tab.
  • Navigate to the Slide Labels tab.
  • Under Label pie pieces, check Category name and Percent.
  • Click OK

The pie chart of the data set:

Part (d) Step 2: Explanation

MINITAB has been used to create the bar chart.

The steps to making a bar chart are as follows:

  • Navigate to Graph > Bar Chart.
  • Select Counts of unique values from the Bars to represent the menu. Click OK after selecting Simple.
  • Add one column of CLASS LIMITS to Categorical variables.
  • Select your chart options
  • Click the Show Yas Percent option.
  • Click OK

The figure shows the bar chart for the supplied data set.

Class Levels. Earlier in this section, we considered the political party affiliations of the students in Professor Weiss's introductory statistics course. The class levels of those students are as follows, where Fr, So, Jr, and Sr denote freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior, respectively.

Adjusted Gross Incomes. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) publishes data on adjusted gross incomes in Statistics of Income, and Individual Income Tax Returns. The following relative frequency histogram shows one year's individual income tax returns for adjusted gross incomes of less than \(50,000.

Use the histogram and the fact that adjusted gross incomes are expressed to the nearest whole dollar to answer each of the following questions.

a. Approximately what percentage of the individual income tax returns had an adjusted gross income between\)10,000and \(19,999, inclusive?

b. Approximately what percentage had an adjusted gross income of less than \)30,000?

c. The IRS reported that \(89,928,000individual income tax returns had an adjusted gross income of less than \)50,000. Approximately how many had an adjusted gross income between \(30,000and \)49,999, inclusive?

Sickle Cell Disease. A study published by E. Anionwu et al. in the British Medical Journal (Vol, 282, pp .283-286) measured the steady-state hemoglobin levels of patients with three different types of sickle cell disease. Following is a stem-and-leaf diagram of the data.

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