Chapter B.1, Problem 37E

(a)

To determine

To find: The alternative type of graph that could use to display the data in exercise 11 and name a graph that would not use to display the data.

Answer to Problem 37E

The explanation is given below.

Explanation of Solution

The best suitable graph that can be used to represent the data is “Line Plots”. The line plot are especially useful for ordering small sets of numbers about fifty or less than by hand.

The least suitable graph for exercise 11 is here frequency distribution and histogram. The use of histogram is best useful when there is given large number of data.

Therefore, the explanation is given above.

(b)

To determine

To find: The alternative type of graph that could use to display the data in exercise 14 and name a graph that would not use to display the data.

Answer to Problem 37E

The explanation is given below.

Explanation of Solution

The best suitable graph that can be used to represent the data is “Line Graph”. The line graphs are usually used to show trends over periods of time. And in the exercise 14 use of line graph can tell us the trend of the revenue of Costco Wholesale stores in the years from 1997 to 2013.

The least suitable graph for exercise 14 is here frequency distribution and histogram. The use of histogram is best useful when there is given large number of data.

Therefore, the explanation is given above.
