Chapter 2: More on histograms and Minitab
You should be able to interpret a histogram:
- Describe the shape:
- symmetric
- positively skewed
- negatitively skewed
- unimodal
- bimodal
- What are typical (central) values?
- What are the largest and smallest values?
- Are there unusual or atypical values?
- Unfinished business: Histogram bin width: a neat web demo
- Example: heights of NKU students
- Example from
the 212 website (here's the
data as a text file, in case you'd like to try it yourself)
- Example using Minitab and baseball data from chapter 4
