What is a distribution?

1. What is a Distribution?

2. We will illustrate what a distribution is with a data set that describes the hours students’ study

3. Here is the data set:

4. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5

5. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Data

6. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Data Set

7. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 From this data set we will create a distribution:

8. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5

9. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 The X Axis, will be the number of hours of study

10. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5

11. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5

12. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5 The Y Axis, indicates the number of times the same number occurs

18. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5 Number of Occurrences

19. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5 NumberofOccurrences

20. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5 NumberofOccurrences

21. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5 NumberofOccurrences 1 2 3

34. Student Hours of Study Bart 1 Basheba 2 Bella 2 Bob 3 Boston 3 Bunter 3 Buxby 4 Bybee 4 Bwinda 5 Hours of Study 1 2 3 4 5 NumberofOccurrences 1 2 3 This is a distribution
