Question

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association tracks information about hurricanes in the Atlantic basin. The given stem-and-leaf and time plots display the accumulated cyclone energy (measured in 104 kn2) for hurricanes from 1970 to 2014 Accumulated cyclone energy by year 0 2 3 3 3 3333'3 0 4 4 45 0 6 6 6 6 7 7 717 0 8 8 8 9 9 9 10 0 1 1 12 2 3 14 4 250 200 150 100 50 1970 1974 1978 1982 1986 1990 1994 1998 2002 2006 2010 2014 Year 2 Leaf unit 104 kn2 Select the statements that describe the advantages of choosing one type of plot over the other Percentiles such as the median are easier to determine from a stem-and-leaf plot than a time plot. It is impossible to determine how values change over time in a time plot, but these changes can be seen easily in a stem-and-leaf plot. It is impossible to see data trends in a stem-and-leaf plot, but trends are easy to see in a time plot. Minimum and maximum values can be located in a time plot but not in a stem-and-leaf plot. The shape of a distribution (symmetric, skewed left, or skewed right) is readily apparent in a time plot but not in a stem-and-leaf plot.

Explanation / Answer

Stem and leaf plot:

If you look into the data plot, we can easily find the median of the data set that has high values.

Plot explains the distribution of data within the interval range

We cannot see any trend in stem and leaf plot.

Maximum and minimum can be viewed on this plot.

Time series plot:

Impossible to find median on time plot.

Time plot explains data change over time

maximum and minimum can view on time series plot

We cannot find any shape of a distribution on time series.

Options: A and C
