(Descriptive, Inferential) ___inferential_____ statistics is
concerned with making predictions about an entire
population
(Descriptive, Inferential) ______descriptive statistics
involves the collection, organization, summarization, and
presentation of data.

population is called a (census, sample) ___sample_.

n el histograma podemos inferir que hay menos donantes de tipo

AB por lo que menos inferir que es el tipo de sangre que menos
abunda en este cenro hospitalario. Tambien es fcil de visualizar
que los tipos mas frecuentes de sangre son la tipo B y O.

Interpretation: In the line graphs we can see
that the number of hurricanes increased from 1993
to 1995. In 1995, it was the year which we
observed the largest number of hurricanes that
stroke to USA.

A
pie chartis

acircularchartdivided intosectors, illustrating

numerical proportion.
143.)
Pie charts are very widely used in the business
world and the mass media.However, they have
been criticized,and many experts recommend
avoiding them,pointing out that research has
shown it is difficult to compare different sections of
a given pie chart, or to compare data across
different pie charts. Pie charts can be replaced in
most cases by other plots such as thebar chart.

147.) Could you criticize any aspect of the

example of the pie chart above?

154.) Los datos comparar es muy grande
como para hacerlo en una retorta. Se
usan colores iguales en ciertos
segmentos por los que la funcin
principal de una retorta no se cumple ya
que es difcil de visualizar los grupos
que tiene el mismo color sin necesidad
de leer la leyenda. Seria mejor usar una
retorta acostada o fragmentada donde a
cada segmento se le asigne su
comentario por separado y as evitar
tener que buscar en la leyenda.
