Question
Histogram Table 22 is a frequency distribution summarizing the IQ scores of the low lead group listed in Table 21, and Figure 22 is a histogram depicting that same data set. When trying to better understand the IQ data, what is the advantage of examining the histogram instead of the frequency distribution?
Solution
Step 1 of 2
Given a frequency distribution summarizing the IQ scores of the low lead group, and a histogram depicting that same data set.
The frequency distribution table for the given data is
IQ Score |
frequency |
50-69 |
2 |
70-89 |
33 |
90-109 |
35 |
110-129 |
7 |
130-149 |
1 |
The histogram for the given data
From the graphical representation of the IQ score of the low lead group, the interval 130-149 has less frequency of 1, and the interval 90-109 has the maximum frequency of 35. Also, the histogram is symmetric.
