For instance, consider the grouped days-to-maturity data given in Table 2.10(b) on page 57.

From that table, we see that the cumulative frequency of investments with a maturity period of less than 50day is 4(3+1)and, therefore, the cumulative relative frequency is0.1(4/40).

Table 2.14shows all cumulative information for the days-to-maturity data.

Cumulative information for days-to-maturity data.

a. Round each observation to the nearest year and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of the rounded data.

b. Truncate each observation by dropping the decimal part, and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of the truncated data.

c. Compare the stem-and-leaf diagrams that you obtained in parts (a) and (b).

Process Capability. R. Morris and E. Watson studied various aspects of process capability in the paper "Determining Process Capability in a Chemical Batch Process" (Quality Engineering, Vol. 10(2), pp. 389-396). In one part of the study, the researchers compared the variability in product of a particular piece of equipment to a known analytic capability to decide whether product consistency could be improved. The following data were obtained for 10 batches of product.

Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these data with

a. one line per stem.

b. two lines per stem.

c. Which stem-and-leaf diagram do you find more useful? Why?
