Section 1B: Displaying Data

Look at the White House page for a list of past Presidents. Use this information to answer each question.

1.	Make a frequency chart of the first letter in each President's last name. (Be careful: Grover Cleveland was elected to two non-consecutive terms, so don't include him twice.) Which letter begins the last name of the most Presidents?
2.	Make a frequency chart of the number of years each President held office. What is the most common term length? Make a bar graph of the data from 2a.
3.	Why was making a frequency chart more appropriate than making a stem-and-leaf diagram in 2a?
