Question

Create a Graph and label axis - These data come from the 2008 General Social Survey. A subset of 190 respondents were selected at random from the full data set. Graph either: 1. a. Histograms b. Bar charts c. Box plots d. Stem-and-leaf plots e. Pie charts f. Line charts g. Frequency tables Variable Information: Education is highest year of education (e.g., 12 = High School; 16 = Bachelors, etc.). Education: 11 6 12 8 12 12 10 12 9 9 14 12 12 12 11 12 15 12 12 12 12 16 11 14 9 13 9 12 12 8 12 17 18 12 14 12 18 20 13 12 12 11 12 12 12 16 16 13 18 13 12 17 12 14 12 12 12 14 12 6 17 11 13 16 12 16 11 17 12 16 16 16 14 12 12 14 11 16 12 11 12 14 13 13 12 19 16 12 11 18 16 16 12 17 12 16 13 12 16 14 16 18 12 17 10 16 12 13 12 20 16 16 14 17 18 12 14 8 7 16 12 12 12 0 9 12 9 16 12 13 14 10 11 7 13 16 12 12 14 18 18 20 0 14 14 14 16 8 9 12 14 12 0 13 12 9 14 14 12 12 10 16 17 13 14 16 16 16 12 12 15 16 18 16 12 14 14 16 12 14 16 14 12 19 12 16 16 12 10 12

Answer 1

From the given data, we'll prepare a bar chart.

For that, we first prepare the frequency distribution table.

(g). The frequency table is obtained as follows:

As explained in the question, Education represents the highest year of education of the respondent And Frequency represents the counts of respondents..

(b) Now, we prepare the bar chart.

The bar chart obtained is as shown below:

In the above bar chart, we have Education along the X-axis and Frequency along the Y-axis

From the above chart, we can see that most of the respondents has 12 years as the 'highest year of education'.

This matches with the frequency distribution, where we see the largest frequency value for 12 years as the 'highest year of education'.

Also, the bars corresponding to the Education years 1 to 5 appear blank as we dont have any respondents with 1 to 5 as the 'highest year of education'.
