Do social robots walk or roll? According to the United Nations, social robots now outnumber industrial robots worldwide. A social (or service) robot is designed to entertain, educate, and care for human users. In a paper published by the International Conference on Social Robotics (Vol. 6414, 2010), design engineers investigated the trend in the design of social robots. Using a random sample of 106 social robots obtained through a Web search, the engineers found that 63 were built with legs only, 20 with wheels only, 8 with both legs and wheels, and 15 with neither legs nor wheels. This information is portrayed in the accompanying graphic.

a. What type of graph is used to describe the data?

b. Identify the variable measured for each of the 106 robot designs. Type of robotic limbs

c. Use the graph to identify the social robot design that is currently used the most. Legs only

d. Compute class relative frequencies for the different categories shown in the graph. .142, .075, .594, .189

e. Use the results from part d to construct a Pareto diagram for the data.
