Why or why not? (6 points)
Part B: Which type of display would be best to analyze these data? Explain your choice. (4 points) (10 points)

Respuesta :

Bar graphs are used to represent the frequencies of a dataset using bars.

  • Mica did not create the bar graph, correctly.
  • The best type of display to analyze the data is bar graph

From the frequency table (see attachment), the dataset and their frequencies are represented as:

  • Pizza = 6
  • Spaghetti = 5
  • Chicken = 2
  • Hamburger = 4
  • Sandwich = 6

The dataset on Mica's histogram and their frequencies are:

  • Pizza = 6
  • Spaghetti = 4
  • Chicken = 2
  • Hamburger = 5
  • Sandwich = 6

Notice that the frequencies of Spaghetti and Hamburger on the frequency table differs from the frequencies plotted on Mica's histogram.

This means that, the bar graph is incorrect

Although the bar graph plotted by MIca is incorrect, the best type of display is the bar graph
