Answer to Problem CS

Solution: As the comparison between the age group is difficult from the pie chart by visualizing the graph, the graphical representation is not the best.

Explanation of Solution

The data is represented by using pie chart in Figure 10.1. The data shows the reasons of the death in four different age group. As different pie charts are used for the different age groups, it is difficult to compare the percentage of death due to particular reason in different age group by visualization. So, it can be said that the graphical representation is not the best one.

To determine

To explain: The disadvantage of the graphical representation.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem CS

Solution: The disadvantage of the provided graphical representation is that the data are not compared easily.

Explanation of Solution

The four different pie charts are used to represent the data for different four age groups. So, it is difficult to compare the graphs and reveal the original data from the representation. It can be considered as the disadvantage of the provided graphical representation.

To determine

The better graphical representation.

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem CS

Solution: As the data can be represented by a single side-by-side bar graph, it will be the better representation of the data.

Explanation of Solution

The better graphical representation for the provided scenario will be the side-by-side bar graph. Because the side-by-side bar graph will help in comparing the data of different age group easily. Moreover, the data can be represented by using a single graph.

To determine

To graph: The side-by-side bar graph for the provided data set.

Explanation of Solution

Graph: To draw the required bar graph, the below steps are followed in Minitab software:

Step 1: Enter the data in Minitab worksheet.

Step 2: Go to Graph Bar Chart.

Step 3: Select the options “Values from Table” and “Cluster”. Then, click on “OK.”

Step 4: Enter the “Graph Variables” and the “Categorical Variables”. And click on “OK.”

The obtained bar graph is shown below:
