Provide an appropriate response.
5) A television manufacturer sold three times as many televisions in 1995 as it did in 1985. To 5)
illustrate this fact, the manufacturer draws a pictogram as shown below. The television on
the right is three times as tall and three times as wide as the television on the left.
This pictogram is misleading because it actually gives the visual impression that nine times
as many televisions were sold in 2005 as in 1995. How can the manufacturer correctly
illustrate the fact that sales in 2005 were three times sales in 1995?
Answer: Answers will vary. Possible answer: The television on the right should have three
times the area of the television on the left. This does not mean that its dimensions
will be three times as big. (In fact, its dimensions will be 3 times the dimensions of
the television on the left).

6) For a given data set, why might a researcher prefer to study organized data rather than the 6)
original data? Can you think of any circumstances in which a researcher may prefer to use
the original data rather than organized data?
Answer: Answers will vary. Possible answer: If the data set is very large, it may be hard to
get a picture of the data from the original data. Organized data summarizes the data
and may enable the researcher to see patterns and trends in the data. Since the
organized data is only a summary of the data and does not give the exact data
values, it may sometimes be preferable to use the original data, for example to find
the exact value for the average.
