Assignment 2 - CH 2 - Organizing Data

Here are the steps to construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the data: 1. Determine the stems. Since the largest value is 126, use stems of tens (10, 20, 30, etc.). 2. Write the stems down the left side with lines for leaves. 3. Write the units digit of each data value as the leaf below its stem. 4. Add trailing zeros to leaves to maintain consistency. The completed stem-and-leaf plot is: 0 | 00 1 | 022 2 | 1111 3 | 22223334 4 | 4444 5 | 5556666 6 | 7777888 7 | 999 1

Do the concepts of class​ limits, marks,​ cutpoints, and midpoints make sense for qualitative​ data? Explain your answer.

No. Class​ limits, marks,​ cutpoints, and midpoints make sense only for numerical​ data, because doing arithmetic for quali
rithmetic for qualitative data is not meaningful.
Slightly different methods are used for determining the​ "middle" of a class with limit grouping and cutpoint grouping. Identify the me

With limit​ grouping, the​ "middle" of a class is the average of the two class limits of the​ class; it is called the class mark.
