Study Notes
- The lecture covers frequency distribution tables and how to construct them, specifically for discrete and continuous data
Discrete Data
- A frequency table with relative and percentage frequency can be constructed from a given data set
- Data set contains blood types of 14 patients: A, B, AB, and O
- Class A has a relative frequency of 0.357, which translates to a percentage frequency of 35.7%
- Class B has a relative frequency of 0.143
- Class AB has a relative frequency of 0.286
- The "10" Class has a relative frequency of 0.214
- Total relative frequency amounts to 1
Continuous Data
- Steps to construct a frequency table:
- Range (R) calculation: R = max - min
- Number of classes (K) calculation using the Sturges rule: K = 1 + 3.3 log(sample size n)
- Number of classes (K) calculation using the Genghis rule: K = 2.5 * fourth root of n
- Class width (H) calculation: H = R / K
Example Using Continuous Data
- A data set provides weights of 10 patients in KAU Hospital: 9, 85, 32, 40, 12, 98, 80, 87, 30, 15
- The following should be prepared using the data:
- Frequency distribution
- True Interval Limits
- Classes Marks
- Relative frequency distribution
- Cumulative frequency distribution
- Relative cumulative frequency distribution
- Step 1 involves finding R, K, and H:
- R = 98 - 9 = 89
- K = 1 + 3.3 log(10) ≈ 5
- H = 89 / 5 ≈ 18
