Pareto Charts
puh-RAY-toe, or
pah-RAY-toe.
A Pareto Chart is used to represent a
frequency distribution for a categorical
variable, and the frequencies are
displayed by the heights of vertical bars,
which are arranged in order from highest
to lowest.
Example 2-8
State
Number
Indiana
2.9¢
Oklahoma
4.3¢
Florida
6.0¢
Maine
3.8¢
Pennsylvania
5.8¢
Construct and analyze a Pareto chart for the data.
Time Series Graph

A Time Series graph represents data that
occur over a specific period of time.
Compound time series
Example 2-9
The number (in millions)
of vehicles, both
passenger and
commercial, that used the
Pennsylvania Turnpike
for the years 1999
through 2003 is shown.
Construct and analyze a
time series graph for the
data.

Pie Graph
A pie graph is a circle that is divided into
sections or wedges according to the
percentage of frequencies in each
category of the distribution.
Example 2-10
This frequency
distribution shows the
number of pounds
(millions) of each
snack food eaten
during the Super
Bowl. Construct a pie
graph for the data.

How to construct a pie graph
1. Step 1: If raw data is given, construct a frequency
distribution.
2. Step 2: Convert frequency into degrees.

Stem and Leaf Plots
A stem and leaf plot is a data plot that
uses part of the data value as the stem
and part of the data value as the leaf to
form groups or classes
Back to Back stem and leaf
Example 2-12
At an outpatient testing center, the number of
cardiograms performed each day for 20 days is shown.
Construct a stem and leaf plot for the data.

An insurance Company researchers conducted a survey on
the number of car thefts in a large city for a period of 30 days
last summer. The raw data are shown. Construct a stem and
leaf plot by using classes 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74,
