Qualitative Data

Data that describes qualities or categories, not numbers. It can be sorted into groups but not measured numerically.

Quantitative Data

Data that can be measured numerically, using numbers. It can be counted or measured.

Stem-and-Leaf Plot

A way to organize data visually. It separates each number into a 'stem' (the larger part) and a 'leaf' (the smaller part).

Dot Plot

A simple graph using dots to show the frequency of data points. Each dot represents one occurrence of a specific value.

Frequency

The count of how many times something happens. In data analysis, it refers to the number of times a specific value appears.

Graphs and Charts

Visual representations of data that use various graphical elements like bars, lines, circles, or symbols to illustrate relationships and trends in data. They help visualize and interpret data more readily than raw data.

Stem-and-leaf Plot vs. Dot Plot

Both stem-and-leaf plots and dot plots are used to display the distribution of data. However, stem-and-leaf plots provide more detailed information about individual data points, while dot plots offer a simpler visual representation. Stem-and-leaf plots are more suitable for organizing larger datasets, while dot plots are useful for smaller datasets.

Why use graphs/charts to organize data?

Graphs and charts make data more accessible and understandable by visually presenting complex information in a concise and organized manner. They help identify patterns, trends, and relationships in data, making it easier to interpret and draw conclusions.
