Chapter 3, Problem 1CR
Name two attractive features and two limitations of the (a) stem-and-leaf plot and (b) dot plot.
a.
Expert Solution
To determine
Give two attractive features and two limitations of the stem-and-leaf plot.
Explanation of Solution
Stem-and-leaf plot:
The simple way that is used to visualize the small data sets is termed as stem-and-leaf plot.
The two attractive features are,
- It is a tool for exploratory data analysis which reveals the data features.
- It divides the data into two parts, such that, stem and leaf.
The two limitations are,
- It only works well on small samples.
- It is not appropriate for decimal data and multi digit data.
b.
Expert Solution
To determine
Give two attractive features and two limitations of the dot plot.
Explanation of Solution
Dot plot:
One of the simple graphical displays of a group of individual values of numerical data is termed as dot plot.
The two attractive features are,
- It is an attractive tool for data exploration.
- Outliers are easily identified in the dotplot.
The two limitations are,
- It’s not useful to compare more than 2 sequences.
- The frequency of a data value is not identified in a dotplot.
