Description: A car salesman records the number of cars he sold each week for the past year. The following frequency histogram shows the results. (FIGURE CAN'T COPY) (a) What is the most frequent number of cars sold in a week? (b) For how many weeks were two cars sold? (c) Determine the percentage of time two cars were sold. (d) Describe the shape of the distribution.

Key Concepts

Distribution Shape

The shape of a distribution refers to its overall form when plotted, such as whether it is symmetric, skewed to the left or right, or has any other notable pattern like bimodality. Describing the distribution shape provides insights into the nature of the data, such as its central tendency and spread.

Histogram

A histogram is a type of bar graph that represents the frequency distribution of a dataset. It visually displays how often each value or interval of values occurs in the data, making it easier to see patterns such as clusters, gaps, and the overall spread of the data.

Frequency Distribution

A frequency distribution is a summary of how frequently each value or range of values occurs in a dataset. It organizes data into categories and counts the number of observations within each category, which is essential for understanding the overall behavior of the data.

Mode

The mode is the value in a dataset that appears most frequently. In the context of a histogram or frequency distribution, the mode corresponds to the category or value with the highest frequency, indicating it is the most common occurrence in the data.

Relative Frequency and Percentage

Relative frequency represents the proportion of the total number of data points that fall within a specific category, and it can be expressed as a percentage. This calculation helps in understanding how significant a particular category is relative to the whole dataset.
