- 2. What is a histogram? I don’t know A graph that is similar to a line plot A bar graph that represents a frequency distribution A graph that shows data over history A bar graph that represents a table of averages

- 4. Look at the histogram on page 9. How much more frequently was the regular peanut butter rated in the 30-50 range than in the 10-20 range? I don’t know 10 times more frequently 3 times more frequently 12 times more frequently 5 times more frequently

- 6. How does changing the interval width affect the appearance of your histogram? I don’t know The larger the interval range, the more difficult it is to determine variability The smaller the interval range, the easier it is to see clusters of data The larger the interval range, the easier it is to determine variability The smaller the interval range, the easier it is to see large quantities of data

- 8. What is a box and whisker plot? I don’t know A graph that is similar to a square pie chart A plot that indicates where half of the data are clustered A graph that shows how data changes over time A plot that represents a table of averages

- 10. Look at the box plot on page 13. What conclusion could you draw from the graph? I don’t know Natural peanut butter is better for you Most Regular peanut butter received a rating of 30-40 Most Natural peanut butter received a rating of 40-50 Natural peanut butter is ranked better than Regular

- 12. When comparing two or more box plots, why is it important to make sure that they all use the same interval range? I don’t know The larger the interval range, the more difficult it is to determine variability The smaller the interval range, the easier it is to see clusters of data The larger the interval range, the easier it is to determine variability The smaller the interval range, the easier it is to see large quantities of data

- 19. Interpreting Histograms Think about the following statistical measures: Mode (occurs most often) Median (number in the middle) Range (max – min) Mean (total sum / total number) What would you have to do to find each measure on a histogram?
