This is the preferred type of data as it is thought to be more mathematical” (Holmes, Illowsky and Dean, 2018).
- This graph is a bar graph. A bar graph is an “appropriate to compare the relative size of the categories... It also could not be used if the percentages added to less than 100% (Openstax., n.d.). Graph 2b is a Pareto chart which means the bars are sorted from largest to smallest so that it is easier to view and make sense of.
- The class size is the difference between the true upper limit and the true lower limit. The class size for medical/psych patients is 34.2. The class size for trauma patients is
