Study Notes

Data Presentation - Tabulation

Data presentation involves organizing and simplifying data to gain a general overview of results.
Raw data is unorganized data, often from surveys or similar sources.
Ungrouped data is data in its original, unorganized form.
Data organization methods include classification (qualitative, quantitative, etc.), tabulation (simple, frequency, stem-and-leaf), and graphs (bar, pie, charts, histograms, etc.).

Data Classification

Data classification is arranging data into homogeneous groups or classes based on common characteristics.

Bases of Data

Qualitative: e.g., religion, gender, color
Quantitative: e.g., height, age, weight
Geographical: e.g., location, states, cities
Chronological/Temporal: e.g., time of occurrence (years, months, weeks), time series data

Types of Data

One-way class: single characteristic (e.g., world population based on religion)
Two-way class: two characteristics (e.g., world population based on religion and gender)
Multi-way class: multiple characteristics (e.g., world population based on religion, gender, literacy)

Tabulation of Data

Tabulation is the process of presenting classified data in a tabular format.
A table is a structured arrangement of statistical data into rows and columns.
Rows are horizontal arrangements of data.
Columns are vertical arrangements of data.

Types of Tables

Simple/One-way table
Double/Two-way table
Complex/Multi-way table

General Rules of Tabulation

Tables should be simple and attractive.
Complex tables should be divided into simpler tables.
Column and row headings should be clear and proper.
Suitable approximations and rounded figures should be noted in the prefatory or footnote.
Units of measurement and data nature should be well-defined.

Organizing Data via Frequency Tables

Frequency distribution is organizing data into classes or groups with the corresponding count in each category.
Class frequency is the count of observations in a particular class or group.
Grouped data is data presented using a frequency distribution.

What is Frequency Distribution?

Frequency distribution visually displays the frequency of outcomes in a repeatable event.

Main Parts of a Frequency Distribution

Title (e.g., school/university data)
Box/Column captions
Stub/Row captions
Data body

Example of frequency distribution (Weights in pounds of 40 students):

Table including classes, tally marks, and frequency of observations will be needed to answer this part.

Relative Frequency Distribution

Relative frequency illustrates the proportion of observations in each class to the total number of observations.
Calculate relative frequency by dividing the frequency of a class by the total number of observations.

Frequency Distribution of Qualitative Data (Political Party Affiliations):

Data tabulation with political party affiliations (e.g., PML-N, PPP, PTI, PML-Q), frequencies, and tally marks
Interpretation of data (e.g., percentage breakdown of affiliation).

Cumulative Frequency Distribution

Cumulative frequency distribution displays the total frequencies up to a certain point.
It showcases the total number of observations that fall below or above particular values.

Stem and Leaf Plot

A quick and clear method for sorting and displaying data simultaneously in a visual format. -Data is separated into stems and leaves (leading and trailing digits) with corresponding values in rows.
- Example showing how to construct a stem and leaf plot will be provided
