To estimate a sector angle for a pie chart, first find the fraction of the total that the specific data point represents. Multiply this fraction by 360° to obtain the corresponding angle. This division of total into proportional sectors visually represents the data frequency.

To estimate the mean time spent by 120 people in a supermarket based on grouped data, use the mid-point of each time interval. Multiply each mid-point by the frequency of the respective interval, sum these products, and divide by the total number of observations (120 people). This provides an estimated mean time.

A scatter diagram plots data points on a coordinate grid to show the relationship between two variables. Correlation is depicted through the pattern of data points: a linear pattern indicates correlation type (positive/negative/no correlation). This visual can be used to infer potential predictive relationships between variables.

Completing a cumulative frequency table assists by providing cumulative counts necessary to plot cumulative frequency against class intervals, forming a cumulative frequency curve or Ogive, which facilitates the analysis of percentiles and medians.

The choice of class intervals is influenced by the range and distribution of data, ensuring each interval covers a proportionate frequency. The width should balance detail with comprehensibility—too broad disguises variation, too narrow becomes cluttered. This affects bar height variation and data clarity.

To determine the mode, identify the most frequent score. The median is the middle value when scores are ordered. The mean is the sum of all scores divided by their number. These provide insights: the mode shows common trends, the median indicates central balance, and the mean gives an overall average.

The height of a histogram bar is calculated by dividing the frequency by the class interval width. This value gives the frequency density, which is represented by the height of the bar.

Comparing distributions involves analyzing differences in central tendency, spread, and overall shape of the distributions using statistical tools like histograms. For example, examining the variance in range, the mean time, and skewness between distributions for Saturday and Wednesday helps in comparison.

A stem-and-leaf diagram organizes data to retain actual values and displays the distribution. It allows for identification of measures of central tendency like the median or mode directly and quickly highlights the spread and skewness of the data.

To estimate the mean mass, multiply the mid-point of each mass interval by its frequency, sum these values, and then divide by the total number of letters. This provides a weighted average accounting for the frequency of each group.
