Using Lists & Spreadsheet 563
• The X (or Y) List contains numeric or string values (such as 1999 or
“color”). Numeric values result in a histogram. String values identify
the categories for a bar chart.
• The Summary List contains numeric values (such as count, frequency,
or probability) for each element in the other list.
To create a summary plot:
Note: For situations in which you already have a summary table, you can
skip the first two steps.
1. Create a list that holds the category identifiers. For this example,
name the list “color” and enter strings for eye color. Enclose category
names in quotes to prevent them from being interpreted as variables.
2. Create the summary list. For this example, name the list “counts” and
enter the total count for each of the eye colors.
3. Select either list by clicking the top cell of the column and pressing
£.
4. From the
Data menu, select Summary Plot.
The Summary Plot dialog displays.
