Initial
Post Instructions
Suppose
that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the
injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month's time. The second set contains
data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a
doctor's office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables
that are included in each data set.
- For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?
- What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
