What type of graph best portrays the overall shape of the distribution of a variable?

It is a histogram.


What does a bar graph display?

Each bar displays the value of one variable for one value of a second variable. The second may be a qualitative variable or a quantitative one.


Where does the dependent variable always go on the graph?

dependent variable always go on y.axis on the graph.


Where are the Dependent and independent variable placed on a graph?

Dependent variable take on X-axis and independent variable take on Y-axis in a graph.


What is meant by probability distribution?

I will give first the non-mathematical definition as given by Triola in Elementary Statistics: A random variable is a variable typicaly represented by x that has a a single numerical value, determined by chance for each outcome of a procedure. A probability distribution is a graph, table or formula that gives the probabability for each value of the random variable. A mathematical definition given by DeGroot in "Probability and Statistics" A real valued function that is defined in space S is called a random variable. For each random variable X and each set A of real numbers, we could calculate the probabilities. The collection of all of these probabilities is the distribution of X. Triola gets accross the idea of a collection as a table, graph or formula. Further to the definition is the types of distributions- discrete or continuous. Some well know distribution are the normal distribution, exponential, binomial, uniform, triangular and Poisson.

What frequency distribution graph is appropriate for scores measured on a nominal scale?

For scores measured on a nominal scale, a bar chart is the most appropriate frequency distribution graph. This type of graph displays categories as distinct bars, allowing for easy comparison of the frequency of each category. Since nominal data represents qualitative differences without any inherent order, the bars should not touch, emphasizing that the categories are separate and unrelated.


How do I work out a graph if the average equals 883.58 and the standard deviation is 127.1534?

You cannot. There is no information about the distribution, or even what the graph is meant to display!

When does it make sense not to connect points on a coordinate graph?

There are a number of situations when it does not make sense. Among these, the two main reasons are:The variable along the x-axis is nominal (categorical) or ordinal.The variable along the y-axis is not continuous.

What graph graph indicates that there is a linear relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable?

a graph of the independent variable and dependant that shows a graph with a fixed gradient (I.E a line graph) The equation of the graph will be given by y = mx +c where m is the gradient and c is a constant


What is the best graph suited to display the amount of iron ore in four different countries?

A stacked bar graph would be a suitable choice to display the amount of iron ore in four different countries. This graph allows you to compare the total amount of iron ore in each country as well as the distribution of iron ore production within each country.


What is the independent variable on a bar graph?

The independent variable on a bar graph is the variable that is manipulated or categorized to observe its effect on the dependent variable. It is typically represented on the x-axis (horizontal axis) of the graph. For example, in a bar graph showing the sales of different products, the product categories would be the independent variable.
