Inverse Normal Distribution
The method used for finding the corresponding z-critical value in a normal distribution using the known probability is said to be an inverse normal distribution. The inverse normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution with a family of tw…
Mean, Median, Mode
It is a descriptive summary of a data set. It can be defined by using some of the measures. The central tendencies do not provide information regarding individual data from the dataset. However, they give a summary of the data set. The central tendency o…

Answer to Problem 6E

Bar graph

Explanation of Solution

    Olympic year 1968 1972 1976 1980 1984 1988 1992 1996 2000 2004
    Number of events 172 196 199 200 223 237 257 271 300 296

Given:A table as shown below is given.

The change in the number of events held in Olympic is to be tracked from 1968 to present. And bar graph will be the best option to do that. Because we can easily track the changes by just looking at change in the height of the bars. And also given time period is large, so the changes in the data will be large and Bar graph is suitable for showing large changes in the data.
