Access for free at: https://openstax.org/books/introductory-statistics/pages/1-1-definitions-of-statistics-probability- and-key-terms You want to determine the average (mean) number of glasses of milk college students drink per day. Suppose yesterday, in your English class, you asked five students how many glasses of milk they drank the day before. The answers were 1, 0, 1, 3, and 4 glasses of milk. State the a) Population College students b) Sample Five college students asked c) Parameter Average number of glasses of milk drank per day by all college students d) Statistic Average number of glasses of milk drank by the five students e) Variable Number of glasses of milk drank f) Data 1, 0, 1, 3, 4 1 2.

Time Series 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 1/7/10 1/12/10 1/5/11 1/10/11 1/3/12 1/8/12 1/1/13 1/6/13 1/11/13 1/4/14 1/9/14 1/2/15 1/7/15 1/12/15 1/5/16 1/10/16 1/3/17 1/8/17 1/1/18 1/6/18 1/11/18 1/4/19 1/9/19 1/2/20 1/7/20 5 b. Using the Tesla Stock Data provided, graph a time series of Tesla High prices from 7/1/2010 to 7/1/2020 Time Series 1200 1000 800 600 400 200 0 1/7/10 1/12/10 1/5/11 1/10/11 1/3/12 1/8/12 1/1/13 1/6/13 1/11/13 1/4/14 1/9/14 1/2/15 1/7/15 1/12/15 1/5/16 1/10/16 1/3/17 1/8/17 1/1/18 1/6/18 1/11/18 1/4/19 1/9/19 1/2/20 1/7/20 i. Students often confuse time series and ogive graphs. How do these differ? A time series graph shows how data values change over time, with time on the x-axis and data values on the y-axis. An ogive graph displays cumulative frequencies, with data values on the x-axis and cumulative frequencies on the y-axis. 4. Stem and leaf plots: a. Using the Module 1 data set for the age at inauguration of US presidents, generate a stem and leaf plot with the following key: 4 | 2 = 42 Stem Leaf 4 2367899 5 01111124444555566677778 6 011124589 6 b. Using the Module 1 data set for the age at death of US presidents, generate a stem and leaf plot with the following key: 4 | 2 = 42 Stem Leaf 4 69 5 36678 6 003344567778 7 01112347889 8 01358 9 0033 5. Graphing Qualitative Data: a. Using the Module 1 data set for the Favorite Ice Cream flavors, graph a Pareto graph of this data: Bar Graph 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 Chocolate Strawberry Cookies and Cream Butter Pecan Vanilla i. How does the Pareto graph differ from a Bar graph? A Pareto graph is a specialized bar graph where categories are arranged in descending order of frequency or importance, often with a cumulative line to show the "80/20 rule," while a bar graph can display categories in any order and doesn't include a cumulative line. ii. What are the benefits of using a Pareto graph vs. a Bar graph? A Pareto graph highlights the most significant categories and their cumulative impact, making it easier to prioritize issues or focus areas, whereas a bar graph provides a straightforward comparison of categories without emphasizing order or cumulative effects. 7 b. Using the Module 1 data set for the Favorite Ice Cream flavors, graph a Circle graph of this data. Circle Graph Chocolate Strawberry Cookies and Cream Butter Pecan Vanilla c. When would you not want to use a circle graph to represent data? You would not want to use a circle graph (pie chart) when the data includes too many categories, has overlapping values, or requires precise comparisons. 8
