1 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 1 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics Chapter 2 Pie Charts A sample of 40 students at a university was randomly selected, and each was asked if they were satisfied with the amount of parking available on campus. The data is summarized below. Satisfaction Frequency Yes 17 No 20 Not Sure 3 To create a graph of this data, you will need to enter the data into the Worksheet. This can be done in two ways. The first way the data can be entered is in summary format. In column 1, type in the three satisfaction ratings. Label the column by typing "Satisfaction" in the gray cell in C1. Label column 2 "Frequency", and type in the frequencies.
2 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 2 To create the Pie chart, click on Graph Pie Chart. On the screen that appears, select the circle next to Chart values from a table. Place the cursor in the Categorical variable field, and either double-click the Satisfaction column name from the left side of the screen or type in C1. Next, click in the Summary variables field, and either doubleclick the Frequency column name from the left side of the screen or type in C2. At this point, you have many options that you can add to your graph. However, if you click OK, Minitab will draw the pie chart using the default settings, which is shown below.
3 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 3 You can edit many options on the graph by right clicking on the part that you want to change. A pop-up window of options will appear from which you can choose. You may right-click on the title, the legend, the slice labels, or the slices of the pie. This will give you the option of changing the name, font, color, or labels on your current chart. To see the actual data used, hold the cursor over each slice and the category name and percentage will be displayed. However, there are several options that will enhance your pie chart. Labels The default pie chart will name the chart Pie Chart of Categorical Variable. To give the chart a more meaningful name, click on the LABELS button. In the window, enter your new name for the chart in the Title field, adding any Subtitles if necessary.
4 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 4 To better display each section of the pie, select the top tab labeled Slice Labels. You may select to label each slick with the Category name, the actual Frequency, or the relative frequency (Percent) by clicking on one or more of the checkboxes beside each option. You may also select to Draw a line from label to slice if desired. When finished, click OK. The information will now be shown on the pie chart. If you want to print the graph, click on File Print Graph while the graph is open. Once the graph prints, you can close the Graph Window by clicking on the X in the upper right corner of the window of the graph window. If you want to save the graph, you may select to do so, or you may close without saving.
5 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 5 In the above example, the data was entered in a summary format. If instead you have the raw data, each individual response should be entered in Column 1, with 17 YES rows, 20 NO rows, and 3 NOT SURE rows, in no particular order. Label the column by typing "Satisfaction" in the gray cell in C1. To create the Pie chart, click on Graph Pie Chart. On the screen that appears, select the circle next to Chart counts of unique values. Place the cursor in the Categorical variables field, and either double-click the Satisfaction column name from the left side of the screen or type in C1.

Select the Binning tab on the top of the window. Select the circle next to the Cutpoint Interval Type, which locates the numbers for each class at the start of the bar instead of the midpoint. You may specify the number of intervals desired by clicking the circle next to the Number of Intervals in the Interval Definition section and entering the number of intervals desired, or to specify the width desired, click the circle next to the Midpoint/Cutpoint positions. In the field below, enter the smallest and largest values desired for the x-axis and the desired width of the intervals. For example, if the x-axis should contain values from 0 to 45, and the desired width of each interval is 5, enter 0:45/5. When finished, click OK. The histogram will now contain the intervals 0-5, 5-10, and so on.
20 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 20 Dot Diagrams To demonstrate Dot Diagrams, the hours of work data from above will be used. To construct a Dot Diagram, click on Graph Dotplot. On the window, click and highlight the Simple plot under the top section, labeled One Y. Click OK. Click in the field below Graph variables. Either double-click the Hours of Work column name from the left side of the screen or type in C1.
21 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 21 At this point, you have many options that you can add to your graph. However, if you click OK, Minitab will draw the dot ploy using the default settings, which is shown below. You can edit many options on the graph by right clicking on the part that you want to change. A pop-up window of options will appear from which you can choose. You may right-click on the title, the x-axis label or scale, the data region, or the dots. This will give you the option of changing the name, font, color, or scale on your current chart. However, there are several options that will enhance your dot diagram.
22 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 22 Labels The default bar chart will name the chart Dotplot of Graph Variable. To give the chart a more meaningful name, click on the LABELS button. In the window, enter your new name for the chart in the Title field, adding any Subtitles if necessary. When finished, click OK. The title will now be displayed on the dot diagram. If you want to print the graph, click on File Print Graph while the graph is open. Once the graph prints, you can close the Graph Window by clicking on the X in the upper right corner of the window of the graph window. If you want to save the graph, you may select to do so, or you may close without saving.
23 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 23 Stem-and-Leaf To demonstrate Stem-and-Leaf plots, the hours of work data from above will be used. To construct a Stem-and-leaf plot, click on Graph Stem-and-Leaf. Click in the field below Graph variables. Either double-click the Hours of Work column name from the left side of the screen or type in C1. Click OK. The stem and leaf plot will be displayed in the Session Window.
24 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 24 In this Minitab display, the first column on the left is a counter. This column counts the number of data points starting from the smallest value (at the top of the plot) down to the median. It also counts from the largest data value (at the bottom of the plot) up to the median. Notice that there are two data points in the first row of the stem and leaf plot, so the counter is "2". Row 2 has 1 data point so the counter increases to 3 (2+1=3). The row that contains the median has the number 5 in parentheses. This number counts the number of data points that are in the row that contains the median. If there are no data points in a row, the counter on the left remains at the number from the previous row. The second column in the display is the Stem. In this example, the Stem values range from 0 to 4. Notice that this display contains two rows for each of the values. These are called split-stems. For each stem value, the first row contains all data points with leaf values from 0 to 4 and the second row contains all data points with leaf values from 5 to 9. The leaf values are shown to the right of the stem. The leaf values may be the actual data points or they may be the rounded data points. To find the actual values of the data points in the display, use the Leaf Unit= statement at the top of the display. The "Leaf Unit" gives you the place value of the leaves. In this stem and leaf plot, the last data point has a stem value of 4 and a leaf value of 2. Since the "Leaf Unit=1.0", the leaf value of 2 is the "ones" place and the stem value of 4 is the "tens" places. Thus the data point is 42.
25 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 25 Measures of Central Tendency and Measures of Dispersion A sample of 40 students at a university was randomly selected, and each was asked the number of hours spent working each week. The raw data is shown in the table below Enter the data into a Minitab worksheet. Enter the number of hours of work into column C1 and label the column Hours of Work in the gray cell.
26 Chapter 2 Graphing Data and Descriptive Statistics 26 To find the descriptive statistics of this data, click on Stat Basic Statistics Display Descriptive Statistics.
