Study Notes
Tabular and Graphical Presentations of Data
- Tabular and graphical methods are used to summarize and describe data sets.
- The type of presentation method depends on the data type (quantitative or qualitative) and the number of variables (univariate or bivariate).
- Qualitative data can be presented using frequency distributions, relative frequency distributions, percentages, and cross-tabulations.
- Qualitative data can also be presented graphically via bar graphs, pie charts, and Pareto diagrams.
- Quantitative data can be presented using frequency distributions, relative frequency distributions, percentages, cumulative frequency distributions, and cross-tabulations.
- Quantitative data can also be presented graphically using histograms, ogives, stem-and-leaf displays, and scatter diagrams.
Frequency Distributions
- A frequency distribution is a tabular summary of data showing the number (frequency) of items in each of several non-overlapping classes.
- Data is sorted by value or category; the frequencies are then summed for each value or category.
- Example: A sample of 50 university students' marital statuses was reviewed; a frequency table was constructed.
Relative Frequency and Percent Frequency Distributions
- Relative frequency is the proportion or percentage of items in a given class compared to the total number of observations.
- Divide the frequency for each class by the total number of observations to find the relative frequency.
- Percentage frequency is the relative frequency multiplied by 100.
Cumulative Frequency Distributions
- Cumulative frequency distributions show the running total of items that fall within certain classes.
Cross-Tabulation Tables
- Used to summarize data where each cell in the table represents the frequency of observation sharing two characteristics.
Graphical Methods: Bar Charts
- Used to present qualitative data in the form of bars, enabling visual representation of frequencies.
Graphical Methods: Histograms
- Useful for displaying the distribution of continuous quantitative data. Bars are used for ranges of values, and bar heights reflect frequencies.
Graphical Methods: Ogive
- A line graph of cumulative frequencies or relative frequencies, plotted against class boundaries.
Graphical Methods: Pareto Diagrams
- Depict categories in descending order of frequency. They focus on the most frequent items first.
Graphical Methods: Scatter Diagrams
- Show the relationship between two quantitative variables by plotting all corresponding pairs of values on a graph.
Graphical Methods: Line Charts (Time Series)
- Used when categories represent points in time and the objective is to track trends in frequencies over time.
Multiple Bar Diagrams
- Useful for comparing different categories over time. Bar heights represent values for various categories and time periods.
Sub-divided Bar Diagrams
- Representing data by subdividing bars to reflect proportions within categories.
Pie Charts
- Show percentages of observation in each category using pie slices. Sum of the pie slices represents all the data.
