I want candy! Mr. Starnes bought some candy for his AP庐 Statistics class to eat on Halloween. He offered the students an assortment of Snickers庐, Milky Way庐, Butterfinger庐, Twix庐, and 3 Musketeers庐 candies. Each student was allowed to choose one option. Here are the data on the type of candy selected. Make a relative frequency bar graph to display the data. Describe what you see.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The width of the bar must be the same, and the height of the bar must be equal to the frequency.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information. 

Here are the data on the type of candy selected.

02

Step 2. To display the data, create a relative frequency bar graph. Describe your observations.

Let us first calculate the frequency of each possible outcome in the data set, which is the number of times the outcome appears in the data set.

Snickers8
Milky way3

Bar graph of frequency

The width of the bars must be the same, and the height must be equal to the frequency.

As a results:

The width of the bar must be the same, and the height of the bar must be equal to the frequency.

Fifty subjects were randomly assigned to be asked, 鈥淎bout how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?鈥� For another 50 randomly assigned subjects, the words 鈥渟mashed into鈥� were replaced with 鈥渉it.鈥� The remaining 50 subjects鈥攖he control group鈥攚ere not asked to estimate speed. A week later, all subjects were asked if they saw any broken glass at the accident (there wasn鈥檛 any). The table shows each group鈥檚 response to the broken glass question.

(a) What proportion of subjects were given the control treatment?

(b) Find the distribution of responses about whether there was broken glass at the accident for the subjects in this study using relative frequencies.

(c) What percent of the subjects were given the 鈥渟mashed into鈥� treatment and said they saw broken glass at the accident?
