11 Categorical Variables
12 Categorical Variables A categorical Variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories
13 Categorical Variables A categorical Variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories Being a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior is a categorical variable
14 Categorical Variables A categorical Variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories Being a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior is a categorical variable It would be difficult to do arithmetic operations on categorical variables
15 Categorical Variables A categorical Variable places an individual into one of several groups or categories Being a Freshman, Sophomore, Junior or Senior is a categorical variable It would be difficult to do arithmetic operations on categorical variables What would it mean to add Freshman and Sophomores?
16 Quantitative Variables
17 Quantitative Variables A Quantitative Variable takes numerical values.
18 Quantitative Variables A Quantitative Variable takes numerical values. Arithmetical operations such as adding subtracting and averaging make sense.
19 Quantitative Variables A Quantitative Variable takes numerical values. Arithmetical operations such as adding subtracting and averaging make sense. The numbers of Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors would be Quantitative variables
20 Quantitative Variables A Quantitative Variable takes numerical values. Arithmetical operations such as adding subtracting and averaging make sense. The numbers of Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors would be Quantitative variables We could add them or subtract them

26 Distribution
27 Distribution The distribution of a variable tells us the range of values it takes and how often it takes these values.
28 Distribution The distribution of a variable tells us the range of values it takes and how often it takes these values. Pictures of Data depict the nature or shape of the data distribution
29 Bar Graphs vs. Pie Charts
30 Bar Graphs vs. Pie Charts Pie Charts are good for showing Categorical variables, but only if you have ALL of the categories.
31 Bar Graphs vs. Pie Charts Pie Charts are good for showing Categorical variables, but only if you have ALL of the categories. Bar Graphs can also show Categorical variables, but do not require ALL categories.

68 Stem Plots A plot similar to a Histogram. It consists usually of quantitative data. A Stem Plot (also sometimes called a Stem and Leaf Plot) consists of the data separated into the leaf (the right-most digit) and the stem (the remaining digits).
69 Stem Plots A plot similar to a Histogram. It consists usually of quantitative data. A Stem Plot (also sometimes called a Stem and Leaf Plot) consists of the data separated into the leaf (the right-most digit) and the stem (the remaining digits). Example: if using the numbers 15, 17, 23, 23, 25, 27, 27, 34, 36, 42 in a stem plot, we would use the tens digits as the stems and the ones digits as the leaves. You should also have a key that shows the reader what the stems and leaves represent.
