Stem and Leaf Diagrams Make sure when using a Stem and Leaf Diagram you have: • A title to show what the Stem and Leaf Diagram shows. • A key so that you can tell how the Stem and Leaf diagram is working. • Align all the numbers in rows so that it is easier to see. • Each row in numerical order.
Comparative Pie Charts • On a pie chart, frequency is determined by SECTOR AREA and not just by ANGLE • On a single pie chart, the radius is constant, so the Angle is sufficient to determine the frequency • On two pie charts being compared, each “pie” area represents the entire frequency of one distribution
Comparative Pie Charts How do you compare two pie charts? If a Pie Chart represents 50 people. It has a radius 2 cm. Area = p x r x r = 4 p And a Pie Chart represents ??? people. It has a radius of 4 cm. Area = p x r x r = 16 p This is 4 times the area of the 1st Pie Chart. So it represents 4 x 50 = 200 people.
Comparative Pie Charts How do you compare two pie charts? Pie Chart 1 represents 40 acres. It has a radius of 3 cm. I need Pie Chart 2 to represent 1000 acres. It has radius r cm. Write as a ratio the two frequencies: 40 : 1000 = 4 : 100 Square root: 2 : 10 = 1 : 5 This means that the second radius is 5 x the first i.e. r = 15 cm

Histograms Make sure you don’t: • Under-Simplification (not simplified enough) • Over-Simplification (simplified too much) Choose the group width carefully. Make it too small (under-simplification) and get too many bars. Make it too big (over-simplification) and get too few bars. Get it just right and your graph will tell a story
