Math Problem Statement
(a)A deck has twenty cards. Nine are labeled with a "1", seven with a "2", one with a "3", and three with a "4". Make a percent bar graph for the cards.
Solution
To create a percent bar graph for the deck of 20 cards, we will first calculate the percentage of each card type, based on their frequencies.
Here’s the breakdown of the card counts and their percentages:
Card Counts:
- Cards labeled with "1": 9 cards
- Cards labeled with "2": 7 cards
- Cards labeled with "3": 1 card
- Cards labeled with "4": 3 cards
Total Number of Cards:
Percentages:
-
Percentage of cards labeled "1":
-
Percentage of cards labeled "2":
-
Percentage of cards labeled "3":
-
Percentage of cards labeled "4":
Now, we can create a percent bar graph based on these percentages.
Let me generate the bar graph for you. matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Data for the bar graph
labels = ['1', '2', '3', '4'] percentages = [45, 35, 5, 15]
Create the bar graph
fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(8, 5)) ax.bar(labels, percentages, color=['blue', 'green', 'red', 'orange'])
Adding labels and title
ax.set_xlabel('Card Value') ax.set_ylabel('Percentage (%)') ax.set_title('Percent Bar Graph for Cards in the Deck')
Display the percentage values on top of each bar
for i, percentage in enumerate(percentages): ax.text(i, percentage + 1, f'{percentage}%', ha='center', va='bottom', fontsize=12)
Show the plot
plt.tight_layout() plt.show()Here is the percent bar graph for the deck of 20 cards. Each bar represents the percentage of cards labeled with the values "1", "2", "3", and "4".
- 45% of the cards are labeled with "1"
- 35% of the cards are labeled with "2"
- 5% of the cards are labeled with "3"
- 15% of the cards are labeled with "4"

Here are 5 related questions for exploration:
- How do you calculate percentages for other types of data distributions?
- What is the difference between a bar graph and a histogram?
- How would you represent this data using a pie chart?
- What is the purpose of visualizing data with percent bar graphs?
- How would you calculate the mode, mean, and median for this set of card labels?
Tip: Percent bar graphs are useful for visualizing the relative frequency of categories, and each bar's length corresponds to the proportion of a given category in the dataset.
