Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data How many people do you know with the same first name? Some names are more popular than others. The table lists the top five most popular names for boys and girls born in each decade from 1950 to 1999. Statistics
Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data To help determine which names appear most frequently, these data could be displayed graphically. In some cases, data can be presented using a line plot. Most line plots have a number line labeled with a scale to include all the data. Then an × is placed above a data point each time it occurs to represent the frequency of the data. Statistics
Create a Line Plot Example 5-1a Draw a line plot for the data. 11 –2 10 –2 7 2 7 4 9 0 6 9 7 2 0 4 10 7 6 9 Step 1 The values of the data range from –2 to 11, so construct a number line containing these values. Step 2 Then place an a number for each time it occurs.

Use a Line Plot to Solve a Problem Example 5-2a Traffic The highway patrol did a radar survey of the speeds of cars along a stretch of highway for 1 minute. The speeds (in miles per hour) of the 20 cars that passed are listed below. 72 70 72 74 68 69 70 72 74 75 79 75 74 72 70 64 69 66 68 67 Make a line plot of the data. The lowest value is 64 and the highest value is 79, so use a scale that includes those values. Place an above each value for each occurrence.

To compare the data we can use a back-to-back stem-and-leaf plot. Since the data represent similar measurements, the plot will share a common stem.

Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data When analyzing data, it is helpful to have one number that describes the set of data. Numbers known as measures of central tendency are often used to describe sets of data because they represent a centralized, or middle value. Three of the most commonly used measures of central tendency are the mean, median and mode. Statistics
Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data When you use a measure of central tendency to describe a set of data, it is important that the measure you use best represents all of the data. Extremely high or low values can affect the mean, while not affecting the median or mode. A value with a high frequency can cause the mode to be misleading. Data that is clustered with a few values separate from the cluster can cause the median to be too low or too high. Statistics

Add the data and divide by 15. The median is 4.8. The middle value is 4.8 The mode is 4.4. The most frequent value is 4.4.

Answer: Either the median or the mode best represent the set of data since both measures are located in the center of the majority of the data. In this instance, the mean is too high.
