Description

Suppose that you have two sets of data to work with. The first set is a list of all the injuries that were seen in a clinic in a month's time. The second set contains data on the number of minutes that each patient spent in the waiting room of a doctor's office. You can make assumptions about other information or variables that are included in each data set.

For each data set, propose your idea of how best to represent the key information. To organize your data would you choose to use a frequency table, a cumulative frequency table, or a relative frequency table? Why?

What type of graph would you use to display the organized data from each frequency distribution? What would be shown on each of the axes for each graph?

How to Present the Key Information
For the first dataset containing a list of all the injuries seen in a month, it’s more informative
when you organize the data using relative frequency. Suppose the injuries are categorized in
different types, let’s say we have fractures, sprains, dislocations, etc. We will first find the
frequency of each injury then divid...
