Can some one help me with these two math problems? http://ocas.pearsonschool.com/ph/cd/0-13-365946-8/?token=53616c7465645f5f81d8086b402612535c05bb36548c352efd4d42aa1f0bb0bdac910c59b0106743211d5f73e68757a01aa7c21cd8986203d225aa23afe42a72ef07f866009a4e4b Page 773
the page is blank
And then I see that you delete you comment.... WOW
any ideas where to start?
No not really...
do you see the table off to the right?
yeahh
ok, in part a) they want you to make a histogram of everyone who has a video game system
So your first task is to add the values in the first two rows
so for instance, in the 13 yr old group, there are 12 who have home video games and 5 who have portable video games, so there are 12+5 = 17 thirteen yr olds who have either one
do this for the other ages
let me know what you get
How would i make the graph?
Draw a horizontal line. Then write the ages under the line and give the numbers a bit of space.
Then draw a line that is at a right angle to this horizontal line and place it off to the very far left
This will mark the frequencies. For each age, you'll be drawing a rectangle where the height represents how frequent you see that age
For example, we count 17 thirteen yr olds, so we have something like this |dw:1339476282093:dw|
I couldn't squeeze it in, but there should be a 17 off to the left of that vertical line that's on the very left
Okaaay i have part a so now what for part b?
well keep in mind that you do this for each age
Thats not what my teacher said....
oh, hmm guess the text is off
Well I dont know thats why im so confused
did you see how I got that drawing above?
Yeah okay I got it now, so what do i do for part b?
you combine the ages any way you want to, so instead of having individual bars for each age, you have bars for 13-14, 15-16, 17-18 for example
that frees up some room
Okay what about D?
hmm I'd say a histogram is very useful for displaying lots of data since you can figure out the mean, median, and mode (and the basic shape of how everything is spread out)
Okay now for E?
Step 1) Add up all the numbers in the table (don't add the ages 13 through 18; just the numbers below that row) What do you get when you add up these numbers?
All of them Home Portable and non gamers?
yes all three rows
250
good, I'm getting that too
