Question 9

In a Pareto chart showing causes of death, the first bar represents heart disease with 659,041 deaths, and the second bar represents cancer with 599,601 deaths. What does this ordering illustrate?

Accepted Answer

Bars are arranged in descending order of frequency.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

The x-axis

Question 11

Suppose you have the following data: 45, 47, 52, 53, 53, 54. What would be the leaf for the number 53 in a stem-and-leaf plot?

Accepted Answer

$$3$$

Question 12

Which of the following is NOT a feature of a bar graph?

Accepted Answer

Bars must always be arranged in descending order.

Question 17

A company wants to compare the frequency of different customer complaints. Which graph would best highlight the most common complaint?

Accepted Answer

Pareto chart

Question 18

Which of the following is TRUE about the use of dot plots?

Accepted Answer

They display each data value as a point above a horizontal axis.

Question 19

If a Pareto chart shows that two categories together account for more than half of the total frequency, what does this suggest?

Accepted Answer

The two categories are the most significant contributors to the total.

Question 20
