Question

Will Fan and/or medal!

For an American History project, Allyson wants to show the number of electoral votes given to each of the 50 states in presidential elections. Those electoral votes range from 3 to 47. She is trying to show the very large differences between the number of electoral votes assigned to different states.

What type of display do you think Allyson should use to show the data?

I was thinking maybe Stem and Leaf Plot but I'm not sure

thanks!

Answer 1

1) Histogram. Well, it is the only one that really makes sense out of those 4, and when comparing things a Histogram is very easy to read because you can just look for the one that is the tallest and you automatically know which is the highest, same goes for the lowest. I choose the Histogram because it is the easiest to read.

2)Circle Graph. Whenever you have percents or portions, anything like that always use a Circle Graph. A Circle Graph best represents percents out of all those choices.
