Frequency Tables and Histograms

A frequency table organizes data into groups or intervals for easy analysis.
A histogram is a specific type of bar graph depicting data in consecutive numerical intervals, allowing for visual interpretation of frequency distribution.

Key Definitions

An interval refers to the distance between numbers on a graph, crucial for accurately displaying data points.
In stem-and-leaf plots, the 'stem' represents the leading digit(s), while the 'leaf' denotes the last digit, effectively breaking down numbers for clearer visualization.

Data Visualization Techniques

Stem-and-leaf plots arrange data numerically, providing an organized visual representation that facilitates quick insight into data characteristics.
A histogram must have equal-sized intervals to accurately convey frequency distribution.

Mode and Data Analysis

The range of data, as shown in a stem-and-leaf plot, indicates the difference between the highest and lowest values—in this case, 50.
The existence of a mode, or the most frequently occurring value, can be confirmed by analyzing the data's frequency distribution; for the given scenario, false claims about its absence can be challenged.

Specific Data Insights

In Mrs. McShane's class, 3 students had between 10-14 missing assignments, and the interval of 0-4 missing assignments had the highest number of students.
Illinois experienced between 19 and 36 tornadoes on 9 occasions, highlighting the importance of understanding data frequency over time.

Additional Data Points

With intervals on the histogram set at 5, specific counts reveal that 4 Boston Celtics players are between 76" and 78", while only 2 students had at least 25 missing assignments, reflecting trends in assignment completion.
