Listed below are blood platelet counts (1000 cells/ $\mu \mathrm{L}$ ) randomly selected from adults in the United States. Why does it not make sense to construct a histogram for this data set? $$ \begin{array}{llllllllll} 191 & 286 & 263 & 193 & 193 & 215 & 162 & 646 & 250 & 386 \end{array} $$

Step 1
The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values in the data set. Range = Maximum value - Minimum value Range = 646 - 162 Range = 484 ** Show more…

Listed below are blood platelet counts ( 1000 cells/\muL) randomly selected from adults in the United States. Why does it not make sense to construct a histogram for this data set? $$\begin{array}{rrrrrrrrr} 191 & 286 & 263 & 193 & 193 & 215 & 162 & 646 & 250 & 386 \end{array}$$
Exploring Data with Tables and Graphs
Histograms
Refer to the frequency distribution and find the standard deviation by using the formula Blood Platelet Count of Males (1000 cells/µL) Frequency 0-99 2 100-199 38 200-299 86 300-399 16 400-499 0 500-599 1 600-699 0 where x represents the class midpoint, f represents the class frequency, and n represents the total number of sample values. Compare this value with the standard deviation found using the original list of data values, 59.9. s = (1000 cells/µL) (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Construct a frequency distribution and a relative frequency histogram for the data set using five classes. Which class has the greatest relative frequency and which has the least relative frequency? Data set: Triglyceride levels (in milligrams per deciliter of blood) of 26 patients $$\begin{array}{lllllllll}209 & 140 & 155 & 170 & 265 & 138 & 180 & 295 & 2 \\320 & 270 & 225 & 215 & 390 & 420 & 462 & 150 & 20 \\400 & 295 & 240 & 200 & 190 & 145 & 160 & 175\end{array}$$
