Notes 50 Frequency Tables, Stem-and-Leaf Plots, and Line Plots
Vocabulary Frequency table-a way to organize data into categories or groups. Cumulative frequency-a running total of the frequencies in each category. Stem-and-leaf plot- uses the digits of each number to organize and display a set of data. Each leaf on the plot represents the right-hand digit in a data value, and each stem represents the reamining left-hand digits. Line plot- display of a set of data where each separate piece of data is shown as a dot or mark above a number line.
Remember! The frequency of a data value is the number of times it occurs. A frequency table is a way to organize data into categories or groups. By including a cumulative frequency column in your table, you can keep a running total of the frequencies in each category.
February Temperatures in 20 Cities Cumulative Frequency Average Highs Frequency Additional Example 1: Organizing and Interpreting Data in a Frequency Table The list shows the average high temperatures for 20 cities on one February day. Make a cumulative frequency table of the data. How many cities had average high temperature below 59 degrees? 69, 66, 65, 51, 50, 50, 44, 41, 38, 32, 32, 28, 20, 18, 12, 8, 8, 4, 2, 2 Step 1: Choose a scale that includes all of the data values. Then separate the scale into equal intervals. 0–19 20–39 40–59 60–79
February Temperatures in 20 Cities Cumulative Frequency Average Highs Frequency Additional Example 1 Continued The list shows the average high temperatures for 20 cities on one February day. Make a cumulative frequency table of the data. How many cities had average high temperature below 59 degrees? 69, 66, 65, 51, 50, 50, 44, 41, 38, 32, 32, 28, 20, 18, 12, 8, 8, 4, 2, 2 Step 2: Find the number of data values in each interval. Write these numbers in the “Frequency” column. 0–19 7 20–39 5 40–59 5 3 60–79
February Temperatures in 20 Cities Cumulative Frequency Average Highs Frequency 0–19 7 5 20–39 40–59 5 3 60–79 Additional Example 1 Continued The list shows the average high temperatures for 20 cities on one February day. Make a cumulative frequency table of the data. How many cities had average high temperature below 59 degrees? 69, 66, 65, 51, 50, 50, 44, 41, 38, 32, 32, 28, 20, 18, 12, 8, 8, 4, 2, 2 Step 3: Find the cumulative frequency for each row by adding all the frequency values that are above or in that row. 7 12 17 20 17 cities had average high temperature below 59 degrees.
Check It Out: Example 1 The list shows the grades received on an English exam. Make a cumulative frequency table of the data. How many students received a grade of 79 or below? 85, 84, 77, 65, 99, 90, 80, 85, 95, 72, 60, 66, 94, 86, 79, 87, 68, 95, 71, 96
Stems Leaves 2 4 7 9 3 0 6 A stem-and-leaf plot uses the digits of each number to organize and display a set of data. Each leaf on the plot represents the right-hand digit in a data value, and each stem represents the remaining left-hand digits. Key:2|7 means 27
Additional Example 2: Organizing and Interpreting Data in a Stem-and-Leaf Plot The data shows the number of years coached by the top 15 coaches in the all-time NFL coaching victories. Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data. Then find the number of coaches who coached fewer than 25 years. 33, 40, 29, 33, 23, 22, 20, 21, 18, 23, 17, 15, 15, 12, 17 Step 1: Order the data from least to greatest. Since the data values range from 12 to 40, use tens digits for the stems and ones digits for the leaves.
Stems Leaves Additional Example 2 Continued The data shows the number of years coached by the top 15 coaches in the all-time NFL coaching victories. Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data. Then find the number of coaches who coached fewer than 25 years. 33, 40, 29, 33, 23, 22, 20, 21, 18, 23, 17, 15, 15, 12, 17 Step 2: List the stems from least to greatest on the plot. The stems are the tens digits. 1 2 3 4

Step 2: Put an X above the number on the number line that corresponds to the number of babysitting hours in July. XXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXX XXX XXX XX XX X The greatest number of X’s appear above the number 6. This means that Morgan babysat most often for 6 hours.
