Exam 2: Graphical Methods for Describing Data Distributions

Bird-plane collisions Collisions between birds and airplanes are a major problem, threatening passenger safety and resulting in costly repairs. During the years 1990 - 1994, researchers gathered bird remains from runways at Lihue Airport on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. The data below are counts of birds found on the runway used for takeoffs and the runway used for landings from the 4 most frequently involved species: ​ (a)Construct a bar chart to display the bird species data for the landing runway. (b)Construct a relative frequency distribution (table) representing the bird species data for the takeoff runway.
