TAILIEUCHUNG - Lecture Statistical techniques in business and economics: Chapter 4 - Lind, Marchal, Wathen

When you have completed this chapter, you will be able to: Compute and interpret the range, the mean deviation, the variance, the standard deviation, and the coefficient of variation of ungrouped data;. | Describing Data: Displaying and Exploring Data Chapter 4 GOALS Develop and interpret a dot plot. Develop and interpret a stem-and-leaf display. Compute and understand quartiles, deciles, and percentiles. Construct and interpret box plots. Compute and understand the coefficient of skewness. Draw and interpret a scatter diagram. Construct and interpret a contingency table. Dot Plots A dot plot groups the data as little as possible and the identity of an individual observation is not lost. To develop a dot plot, each observation is simply displayed as a dot along a horizontal number line indicating the possible values of the data. If there are identical observations or the observations are too close to be shown individually, the dots are “piled” on top of each other. EXAMPLE Reported below are the number of vehicles sold in the last 24 months at Smith Ford Mercury Jeep, Inc., in Kane, Pennsylvania, and Brophy Honda Volkswagen in Greenville, Ohio. Construct dot plots and report .
