Problem 101
For the data in the following table, select a type of display and describe the steps that you would take in developing it to show the relationship between age and deaths/1000 peo-ple from car accidents:
Age | 1-14 | 15-24 | 25-44 | 45-64 | 65- |
Date Rate/1000 | 4.6 | 6.2 | 16.6 | 8.8 | 15.7 |
Solution
I would use a bar graph to display the information. Horizontally I would use five categories to display the age. Vertically I would use the death rate/1000 people in car accidents and use a range of 0 to 17 , since the highest death rate is 16.6.
