Exercise 9 Page 373

Which display shows the data in specific categories?

Sample Answer:

Explanation: A bar graph shows data in specific categories.

Practice makes perfect

We will begin by looking at the table that shows the results of a survey that asked students their preferred method of exercise.

Preferred Method of Exercise	Number of Students
Walking	20
Jogging	28
Biking	17
Swimming	11
Lifting Weights	10
Dancing	14

We are asked to analyze the given data and create a display that best represents the data. Note that this data set is divided into different categories. Therefore, a bar graph is an appropriate way to display this qualitative data. To make the bar graph, let's set the horizontal axis to be the Preferred Method of Exercise and the vertical axis to be the Number of Students. Let's do it!
