Question

1.Which type of display would be best to show the individual points scored by each of twelve basketball players on a team during the last game?

stem and leaf plot

circle graph

box and whisker plot

double bar graph

Answer 1

is it b

Answer 2

that would give you percentages, but the actual points wouldn't be so obvious

Answer 3

i wanna go with b too.

Answer 4

true

Answer 5

I don't know

Answer 6

let me see....

Answer 7

I would say a then

Answer 8

c is a bad choice because you only get 5 pieces of info out of it (not 12)

Answer 9

d is also a bad choice because you would have a very cluttered graph (and the heights aren't so easy to determine)

Answer 10

box and whisker plot : no that is more for showing of means and other stats.

double bar graph: no that is used to show of 2 pieces of info when you only wanna show of one piece of info. In this case the score.

Answer 11

so a) is probably the best choice

a simple table (of names and points scored) is actually the best choice

Answer 12

I think a because it says a box and whisker plot is for any single variable data.

Answer 13

A because
You could make a histogram, which is a bar-graph :) from a stem and leaf plot.

Answer 14

one more question
can u help me solve this part.
Solve for angle D using all three of the definitions of vertical, supplementary, and corresponding angles. Explain your reasoning.

Answer 15

I already have the definitions it is just the last part to find the degree.

Answer 16

Vertical angles are the 2 angles opposite each other where two lines meet. Angle d and angle b are vertical angles.

Supplementary angles are 2 angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees. Angle d and angle c are supplementary angles.

When a set of lines is crossed by a transversal, angles that lie in the same position relative to the intersection of one parallel line and the transversal are corresponding angles. Angle d and c are corresponding angles.
