2.2: More Graphs and Displays

Objective: Interpret quantitative data sets using stem‐and‐leaf plots and dot plots.

Example 1: Use a stem‐and‐leaf plot to display the data. The data represent the scores of a biology
class on a midterm exam.

75 85 90 80 87 67 82 88
95 91 73 80 83 92 94 68
75 91 79 95 87 76 91 85

Example 2: Use a dot plot to display the data. The data represent the systolic blood pressures (in
millimeters of mercury) of 30 patients at a doctor’s office.

120 135 140 145 130 150 120 170 145 125
130 110 160 180 200 150 200 135 140 120

Objective: Graph and interpret data sets using pie charts and Pareto charts.

Example 3: Use a pie chart to illustrate the data. The data represent the 2010 NASA budget requests (in
millions of dollars) divided among five categories.

Science, aeronautics, exploration 8947


Space operations 6176
Education 126
Cross‐agency support 3401
Inspector general 36

Example 4: Use a Pareto chart to display the data. The data represent the ultraviolet indices of five
cities at noon on a recent day.

Atlanta, GA 9
Boise, ID 7
Concord, NH 8
Denver, CO 7
Miami, FL 10

Objective: Graph and interpret data sets using scatter plots and time series charts.

Example 5: The lengths of employment and the


salaries of 10 employees are listed in the table.
Graph the data using a scatter plot.

Length of
employment Salary
(in years) (in dollars)
5 32,000
4 32,500
8 40,000
4 27,350
2 25,000
10 43,000
7 41,650
6 39,225
9 45,100
3 28,000

Example 6: Use a time series chart to display the data. The data represent the daily high temperatures
for a city for a period of 12 days.
