Understanding the Concepts
(D)
(E) The total frequency is equal to the
sum of the frequencies for the two
cities.
(F) The total relative frequency is the
total frequency divided by the sum of
all total frequencies. The relative
frequency for each city is the
frequency for that city divided by the
sum of the frequencies for that city.
Since the sum of the frequencies for
each city is not the same as the sum of
the total frequencies, the total relative
frequency is not the sum of the
relative frequencies for the two cities.
36.(A) No. The proportions are not parts of
a whole. In particular, they do not add
up to 1.
(B) No. This is not a frequency table.

(G) Answers will vary. The class width of
5 provides a more appropriate level of
detail in the middle of the histogram,
but is very sparse in the tails. The class
width of 10 is better in the tails, but
most of the data are in only two
classes.

47. It is not possible to construct a histogram
for this data set because โ30 or moreโ
represents an open ended class.
(D)
48. Yes. The last class would become 3034.9.
Extending the Concepts
49. We solve the following equation:
0.2 + 0.3 + 0.15 + x + 0.1 + 0.1 = 1
Answer: x = 0.15
50. (A) The respective class widths are 1,
0.5, 0.5, 1, 1, and 3.
(B)
(E) Dividing the relative frequency by the
class width adjusts for the differing widths
of the classes.
51. (i) is skewed and (ii) is approximately
symmetric
52. Skewed to the right because the first
two classes have relative frequencies of 0.2
and 0.37. The other classes are all less
than 0.15.
53. A and B are correct, but C is incorrect.
Section 2.3 Exercises
This histogram gives a distorted
picture of the data because it makes it
look like this is a bimodal distribution,
when in reality, Figure 2.6 shows that
the data has one mode and is skewed
to the right.

(C) The one in part (A) is more

(C) The one in part (B) is more
appropriate because most of the leaves
are on three stems (temperatures in
the 50โs, 60โs, and 70โs). For this
reason, the stem-and-leaf plot in part
(A) does not reveal much detail about

(B) Leaf 1 represents the ages of the
Wimbledon winners and Leaf 2
represents the ages of the winners of
the Masterโs. From this back-to-back
split stem-and-leaf plot, we see that
the Wimbledon champions tend to be
younger.
(B) Both plots show that more leaves
are on stem 1 than all other stems.
However, the advantage to the split
stem-and-leaf plot in part (A) is that it
much better shows how the emissions
data is skewed to the right.
22. (A) In the following back-to-back split
stem-and-leaf plot, Leaf 1 displays the
lengths of time of the PG-13 movies
and Leaf 2 does so for the R rated
movies.
20.

tend to be shorter.

(B)
(C) They both have the same shape
(skewed to the right), because the class
width in the histogram is 5, as is each line
for each stem 5. The number of leaves in
each stem is the frequency of occurrence,
which is also the height of the bars in the
histogram.

5. (i). Graph (A) presents an accurate
picture, because the baseline is at zero.
Graph (B) exaggerates the decline,
because the baseline is above zero.
6. The bar graph presents a more accurate
picture because its baseline is correctly
placed at 0. The time-series plot
exaggerates the rate of the increase.

7. Graph (B) presents the more accurate
picture. The baseline is at zero, and the
bars are of equal width. The dollar bill
graphic does not follow the area principle.
The length and width of the smaller image
are about 25% less than the length and
width of the larger image, so the area of
the smaller image is about 50% less than
that of the larger image. This exaggerates
the
difference.
8. Graph (B) presents the more accurate
picture, because it follows the area
principle. In Graph (A), the area of the
larger image is about six times that of the
smaller image. This exaggerates the
difference.
9. The graph is misleading, because the
baseline is not at zero.
10. It presents an accurate picture, because
the baseline is at zero.
11. (A) It is misleading because you can see
the tops of the bars in the threedimensional graph. This often causes
them to look shorter than they really are.
13. (i) is more accurate. The plot on the left
has its baseline at zero, and presents an
accurate picture. The plot on the right
exaggerates the increase.
14. (ii) is more accurate. Time series plot (B),
with the baseline at zero, presents an
accurate picture. Plot (A) exaggerates the
decrease.
Extending the Concepts
15. (A)
(B) It makes the differences look smaller,
because the scale on the y-axis extends
farther than the largest bar height.
(C) Figure 2.23 has a baseline of zero, and
the scale on the y-axis is appropriate
for the bar height.
