Question

what are some benefits of representing data sets using frequency distributions? a. organizing the data into a frequency distribution makes it possible to graph quantitative data. b. it is easier to determine the minimum and maximum values of a data set when it has been arranged into a frequency distribution. c. organizing the data into a frequency distribution can make patterns within the data more evident. what are some benefits of using graphs of frequency distributions? a. it can be easier to determine the class boundaries by looking at a graph of the frequency distribution. b. graphing a frequency distribution makes it possible to find the total number of observations. c. it can be easier to identify patterns of a data set by looking at a graph of the frequency distribution. d. graphing a frequency distribution makes it possible to determine the relative frequencies of each of the classes.

Explanation:

Frequency distributions help in organizing data. Graphing them can reveal patterns, make it possible to find class - boundaries, and determine relative frequencies. Option A is about finding class boundaries, Option B is about finding the total number of observations which is not a main benefit related to graphing frequency distributions for pattern - finding, Option C is about identifying patterns by looking at the graph, and Option D is about determining relative frequencies. All of these are benefits of using graphs of frequency distributions.

Answer:

A. It can be easier to determine the class boundaries by looking at a graph of the frequency distribution.
B. Graphing a frequency distribution makes it possible to find the total number of observations.
C. It can be easier to identify patterns of a data set by looking at a graph of the frequency distribution.
D. Graphing a frequency distribution makes it possible to determine the relative frequencies of each of the classes.
