For quantitative data, we examined three types of grouping: single-value grouping, limit grouping, and cut point grouping. For each type of data given, decide which of these three grouping types is usually best, Explain your answers.
a. Continuous data displayed to one or more decimal places
b. Discrete data in which there are relatively few distinct observations
Stressed-Out Bus Drivers. Frustrated passengers, congested streets, time schedules, and air and noise pollution are just some of the physical and social pressures that lead many urban bus drivers to retire prematurely with disabilities such as coronary heart disease and stomach disorders. An intervention program designed by the Stockholm Transit District was implemented to improve the work conditions of the city's bus drivers. Improvements were evaluated by G. Evans et al., who collected physiological and psychological data for bus drivers who drove on the improved routes (intervention) and for drivers who were assigned the normal routes (control). Their findings were published in the article "Hassles on the Job: A Study of a Job Intervention With Urban Bus Drivers" (Journal of Organizational Behavior, ). Following are data, based on the results of the study, for the heart rates, in beats per minute, of the intervention and control drivers.
PCBs and Pelicans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. W. Risebrough, is titled "Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man" (Proceedings of the 6ed Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443-463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm). Following is a relative-frequency histogram of the PCB concentration data.
