How many people do you know with the same first name?
Some names are more popular than others. The table lists the top
five most popular names for boys and girls born in each decade
from 1950 to 1999.
Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data
To help determine which names appear most
frequently, these data could be displayed graphically.
In some cases, data can be presented using a line plot.
Most line plots have a number line labeled with a scale
to include all the data.
Then an × is placed above a data point each time it
occurs to represent the frequency of the data.
Create a Line Plot
Draw a line plot for the data.

Step 1
The values of the data range from –2 to 11, so
construct a number line containing these values.
Step 2
Then place an  a number for each
time it occurs.

Traffic The highway patrol did a radar survey of the
speeds of cars along a stretch of highway for 1
minute. The speeds (in miles per hour) of the 20
cars that passed are listed below.

Make a line plot of the data.
The lowest value is 64 and the highest value is 79, so use
a scale that includes those values. Place an  above each
value for each occurrence.

Make a stem-and-leaf plot to compare the data.
To compare the data we can use a back-to-back stemand-leaf plot. Since the data represent similar
measurements, the plot will share a common stem.

Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data
When analyzing data, it is helpful to have one number
that describes the set of data.
Numbers known as measures of central tendency are
often used to describe sets of data because they
represent a centralized, or middle value.
Three of the most commonly used measures of
central tendency are the mean, median and mode.
Statistics - Displaying and Analyzing Data
When you use a measure of central tendency to
describe a set of data, it is important that the measure
you use best represents all of the data.
Extremely high or low values can affect the mean,
while not affecting the median or mode.
A value with a high frequency can cause the mode to
be misleading.
Data that is clustered with a few values separate from
the cluster can cause the median to be too low or too
high.

Answer: Either the median or the mode best represent
the set of data since both measures are located in the
center of the majority of the data. In this instance, the
mean is too high.
