15. Which of the following divides quantitative measurements into classes and graphs the frequency, relative frequency, or percentage frequency for each class?
- An Histogram divides quantitative measurements into classes and graphs the frequency, relative frequency, or percentage frequency for each class
16. The number of items rejected daily by a manufacturer because
of defects for the last 30 days are:
20, 21, 8, 17, 22, 19, 18, 19, 14, 17, 11, 6, 21, 25, 4, 19, 9, 12,
16, 16, 10, 28, 24, 6, 21, 20, 25, 5, 17, 8
How many classes should be used in constructing a histogram?
- 5
When we have small set of data we use 5 classes whereas we use 20 classes for larger data set
18. When developing a frequency distribution, the class (group) intervals must be
- non overlapping
The class intervals must be non overlapping to avoid confusion for boundary values
19. Which of the following graphical tools is not used to study the shapes of distributions?
- Scatter plot is not used to study the shapes of distributions.It is used to determine the relationship between two variables
21. Which one of the following graphical tools is used with quantitative data?
- Histogram is used with quantitative data
22. An example of manipulating a graphical display to distort reality is ________.
- Stretching the axes changes the appearance of graphical display
23. A ________ shows the relationship between two variables.
- Scatter plot shows the relationship between two variables
25. As a general rule, when creating a stem-and-leaf display, there should be ______ stem values.
- when creating a stem-and-leaf display, there should be between 5 and 20 stem values
