Exam 2: Organizing and Visualizing

The width of each class grouping or interval in a frequency distribution should be ________.

One of the advantages of a pie chart is that it clearly shows that the total of all the categories of the pie adds to 100%.

SCENARIO 2-16 The figure below is the percentage polygon for the amount of calories for a sample of 36 pizzas products where the upper limits of the intervals are: 310, 340, 370, 400 and 430. -Referring to Scenario 2-16, roughly what percentage of pizza products contains at least 340 calories?

Data on 1,500 students' height were collected at a larger university in the East Coast. Which of the following is the best chart for presenting the information?

The percentage polygon is formed by having the lower boundary of each class represent the data in that class and then connecting the sequence of lower boundaries at their respective class percentages.

The original data values cannot be determined once they are grouped into a frequency distribution table.

SCENARIO 2-19-A You are the quality control manager of a water bottles company. One of the biggest complaints in the past years has been the breakage and, hence, the concern on the durability of the connector between the lid and the bottle which many users use as a handle for the bottles. To collect evidence before implementing any modification to the production process, your department has subjected 50 water bottles to a durability test and the following data on the number of times the handles have been used to lift the bottles before they break are contained in the file Scenario2-19-DataA.XLSX. 495 499 502 500 491 498 498 495 488 516 513 486 504 503 493 504 489 500 495 499 501 507 511 496 486 497 510 504 493 482 511 502 520 514 486 514 500 505 512 500 504 498 503 514 474 489 488 506 517 490 -Referring to Scenario 2-19-A, if a percentage histogram or percentage distribution was constructed using "473 but less than 480" as the first class, the percentage of bottles with handles that broke after being used for lifting at least 480 but less than 508 times would be ________.

The Guidelines for Developing Visualizations recommend always including a scale for each axis if the chart contains axes.

SCENARIO 2-8 The Stem-and-Leaf display represents the number of times in a year that a random sample of 100 "lifetime" members of a health club actually visited the facility. Stem Leaves 0 012222233333344566666667789999 1 1111222234444455669999 2 00011223455556889 3 0000446799 4 011345567 5 0077 6 8 7 67 8 3 9 0247 -Referring to Scenario 2-8, the person who visited the health club less than anyone else in the sample visited the facility ________ times.

SCENARIO 2-12 The table below contains the opinions of a sample of 200 people broken down by gender about the latest congressional plan to eliminate anti-trust exemptions for professional baseball. For Neutral Against Totals Female 38 54 12 104 Male 12 36 48 96 Totals 50 90 60 200 -Referring to Scenario 2-12, of the females in the sample, ________ percent were against the plan.

Given below is the scatter plot of the market value (thousands$) and profit (thousands$) of 50 U.S. companies. There appears to be a negative relationship between market value and profit.

SCENARIO 2-7 The Stem-and-Leaf display below contains data on the number of months between the date a civil suit is filed and when the case is actually adjudicated for 50 cases heard in superior court. S Stem Leaves 1 234447899 2 22223455678889 3 0011135778 4 02345579 5 112466 6 158 -Referring to Scenario 2-7, if a frequency distribution with equal sized classes was made from this data, and the first class was "10 but less than 20," the cumulative percentage of the second class would be ________.

SCENARIO 2-2 At a meeting of information systems officers for regional offices of a national company, a survey was taken to determine the number of employees the officers supervise in the operation of their departments, where X is the number of employees overseen by each information systems officer. X f 1 7 2 5 3 11 4 8 5 9 -Referring to Scenario 2-2, how many regional offices are represented in the survey results?

SCENARIO 2-9 The frequency distribution below represents the rents of 250 randomly selected federally subsidized apartments in a small town. Rent in \ Frequency 1,100 but less than 1,200 113 1,200 but less than 1,300 85 1,300 but less than 1,400 32 1,400 but less than 1,500 16 1,500 but less than 1,600 4 -Referring to Scenario 2-9, the class midpoint of the second class is ________.

To evaluate two categorical variables at the same time, a _______ could be developed.

SCENARIO 2-8 The Stem-and-Leaf display represents the number of times in a year that a random sample of 100 "lifetime" members of a health club actually visited the facility.

SCENARIO 2-6 A sample of 200 students at a Big-Ten university was taken after the midterm to ask them whether they went bar hopping the weekend before the midterm or spent the weekend studying, and whether they did well or poorly on the midterm. The following table contains the result. Did Well in Midterm Did Poorly in Midterm Studying for Exam 80 20 Went Bar Hopping 30 70 -Referring to Scenario 2-6, _______ percent of the students in the sample spent the weekend studying and did well on the midterm.

The sum of cumulative frequencies in a distribution always equals 1.

When studying the simultaneous responses to two categorical questions, you should set up a
