Study Notes
Graphical Representation of Data
- Graphs and diagrams simplify complex data.
- Tables, while informative, aren't always the best for data presentation.
- Data representation methods are categorized into grouped and ungrouped data.
Types of Graphical Representation: Grouped Data
- Histogram: Uses adjacent bars; bar width represents class width, height represents frequency/relative frequency. Shows grouped data with class boundaries on the x-axis, frequencies on the y-axis.
- Frequency Polygon: Line graph connecting class marks and frequencies; can be derived from a histogram by joining bar midpoints. Shows continuous frequency distribution.
- Cumulative Frequency Polygon (OGIVE): Two types ("less than" and "more than"); line graphs showing upper/lower class boundaries and cumulative frequencies.
Types of Graphical Representation: Ungrouped Data
- Bar Chart: Uses bars of equal width; length is proportional to the values.
- Simple Bar Chart: Compares single characteristics.
- Multiple Bar Chart: Compares two or more characteristics for the same variable. Bars are grouped and shaded differently for identification.
- Component Bar Chart: Bars are divided into sections representing component parts; sections are differently shaded for easy recognition.
- Pie Chart (Sector Diagram): A circle divided into sectors; each sector’s area is proportional to its share of the whole quantity. Used to illustrate proportions. Angle of each sector is calculates as (share/total)*360 degrees.
Histogram Example
- Sample data: 12, 13, 17, 21, 24, 24, 26, 27, 27, 30, 32, 35, 37, 38, 41, 43, 44, 46, 53, 58
- Classes are created with defined boundaries (e.g., 10-19, 20-29 etc.) and the corresponding frequencies are calculated.
- A histogram plots these frequencies against the class boundaries. No gaps between bars due to continuous data.
Cumulative Frequency Polygon (OGIVE) Example
- Sample data includes class boundaries and frequencies.
- "Less than" cumulative frequency: A graph plotting upper class boundaries and their cumulative frequencies.
- "More than" cumulative frequency: A graph plotting lower class boundaries and their cumulative frequencies.
Pie Chart Example
-
To construct a pie chart:
- Calculate the percentage of each category: (category value / total value) * 100.
- Calculate the angle for each sector: (category value / total value) * 360.
-
Example: Survey of 1200 first-year students; 719 from Urdu medium schools, 481 from English medium schools. Urdu medium students constitute 60% (719/1200 * 100), English 40%. The pie chart would show sectors of 216 degrees (60% of 360) and 144 degrees (40% of 360).
