Bar graphs and pie charts- are the most notable graphs when presenting nominal data.

Describing
frequency is the main objective of bar graphs.

THERE ARE 3 GRAPHS FOR QUANTITATIVE DATA

1.HISTOGRAM- is a graph that consists of vertical , rectangular bars which represent the frequency
of ranges of values. The rectangular bars have no gaps between them.

CLASS INTERVALS FREQUENCY


55- 61 7
62- 68 5
69- 75 4
76- 82 12
83- 89 11
90- 96 1
The class boundaries are also called real class limits. The lower class boundaries are obtained by
subtracting 0.5 from the lower class limits. The upper class boundaries are obtained by adding 0.5 to
the upper class limits.

CLASS INTERVALS CLASS BOUNDARIES FREQUENCY


55- 61 54.5—61.5 7
62- 68 61.5—68.5 5
69- 75 68.5—75.5 4
76- 82 75.5—82.5 12
83- 89 82.5—89.5 11
90-96 89.5—96.5 1
2. STEAM AND LEAF PLOT – A stem and leaf plot is a data plot that uses part of the data value as the
stem and part of the data value as the leaf to form groups or classes. It is a special table where each
data value is split into a stem (the first digit or digits) and a leaf (usually the last digit).

3.BOX- AND WHISKER PLOT- is also a graphical representation of quantitative data. It contains the
minimum, median, maximum, lower quartile, and upper quartile. These values are known as the
five- number summary. The box- and- whisker plot is best used when data has extreme values.
