Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. Frustrated passengers, congested streets, time schedules, and air and noise pollution are just some of the physical and social pressures that lead many urban bus drivers to retire prematurely with disabilities such as coronary heart disease and stomach disorders. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was implemented to improve the work conditions of the city's bus drivers. Improvements were evaluated by G. Evans et al., who collected physiological and psychological data for bus drivers who drove on the improved routes (intervention) and for drivers who were assigned the normal routes (control). Their findings were published in the article "Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention With Urban Bus Drivers" (Journal of Organizational Behavior, ). Following are data, based on the results of the study, for the heart rates, in beats per minute, of the intervention and control drivers.

For quantitative data, we examined three types of grouping: single-value grouping, limit grouping, and cut point grouping. For each type of data given, decide which of these three grouping types is usually best, Explain your answers.
a. Continuous data displayed to one or more decimal places
b. Discrete data in which there are relatively few distinct observations
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.
Suppose that you have a data set that contains a large number of observations. Which graphical display is generally preferable; a histogram or a stem-and-leaf diagram? Explain your answer.
