OTHER GRAPHICAL PORTRAYALS OF A ONE-VARIABLE DATA SET

Introducing the Topic

In this chapter, you and your students will learn how to use the Sharp graphing calculator to represent a one-variable data set with a broken-line graph (frequency polygon) and a box-and-whisker chart.

Typically, a broken-line graph is represented on a horizontal (x) axis scaled according to the data, with a vertical (y) axis scaled according to the data's frequency individually (discrete) or within an interval (continuous). In each case, a point is plotted at the coordinates (x, frequency) for a discrete distribution or the coordinates (interval right-point, interval frequency). Lines are then drawn from one of these points to the next one. Remember, when using intervals, you should seek between 5 and 7 intervals. Once again, there will be times you will need more or less intervals. Interval widths can be determined logically or mathematically. Remember, the object of viewing a broken-line graph is to obtain or portray characteristics of the data's distribution. Therefore, the number of intervals may vary.

A box-and-whisker chart is a graph that consists of five points of interest. The 25th percentile, 50th percentile, and 75th percentiles are each indicated with a vertical line. The three vertical lines are then connected together in order to form a box. Next, vertical lines are extended away from the box to the minimum and maximum. These are called the whiskers of the chart.
