Initial Post Instructions
Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that
were seen in a clinic in a month’s time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes
that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor’s office. You can make assumptions
about other information or variables that are included in each data set.
For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize
your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative
frequency table? Why?
What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency
distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?
