Study Notes

Data Presentation

  • Data presentation involves using various methods to display numerical or categorical data, making it easier to understand patterns and trends.
  • Methods include textual, tabular, and graphical representations.
  • Textual presentation involves describing data in paragraph form, highlighting key features and significant figures.
  • Tabular presentation uses tables to organize data in rows and columns, facilitating easier analysis.
  • Graphical presentations use charts and graphs to visualize data, providing a visual representation of relationships and patterns.

Types of Graphs

  • Pie chart: A circle divided into segments, each representing a category's proportion of the whole. Ideal for showcasing proportions.
  • Bar graph: Displays data using bars of varying heights, suitable for comparing discrete categories.
  • Histogram: A bar graph representation of continuous data, where bars touch each other to show the distribution of data.
  • Line graph: Shows trends over time or between variables, useful for continuous data, often including a frequency polygon.
  • Frequency polygon: A line graph plotting frequencies of continuous data, connected by straight lines.

Frequency Distribution Table (FDT)

  • An FDT summarizes data by grouping it into categories called class intervals (CI).
  • Class size (c) is the width of each CI.
  • Range (R) is the difference between the highest and lowest values in the data set. The number of classes (k) is a guideline.
  • Steps in constructing an FDT:
    • Determine the range of the data.
    • Decide on the number of classes (k).
    • Calculate the class size (c) using the formula c= R/K.
    • Define the class intervals.
    • Tally the data into the class intervals.
  • Additional components in an FDT:
    • Class boundaries (CB): Values marking the edges of class intervals, crucial for continuous data.
    • Class mark (CM): The midpoint of a class interval, calculated by (upper limit + lower limit) /2.
    • Relative frequency (RF): The proportion of data points falling within a specific CI (calculated as f/N, where f is the frequency, and N is the total observations).
    • Less than Cumulative Frequency (<CF): The sum of frequencies up to the upper limit of a class.
    • Greater than Cumulative Frequency (>CF): The sum of frequencies from the lower limit of a class to the end of the data set.
  • Graphical representations of FDTs:
    • Histograms
    • Frequency polygons
    • Ogives

Ogives

  • An ogive is a graphical representation of cumulative frequency.
    • Less-than ogive (<CF): Displays cumulative frequencies up to the upper class boundary.
    • More-than ogive (>CF): Displays cumulative frequencies from the lower class boundary to the highest value of the data set.

Rules for Constructing graphs

  • Label axes in graphs, including units for both the x-axis and y-axis.
  • Indicate the class interval on the graph clearly.
  • Include a title/description as part of the graph.
