Study Notes
- Study notes on raw data, ungrouped data and grouped data
Raw Data
- Mode represents the value(s) occurring most often in a set of observations.
- Mean is the average of a given set of observations, calculated as the sum of all values divided by the number of values, denoted as x̄ = Σx / n.
- Lower Quartile denoted as Q₁ = (1/4)(n+1)th
- Median denoted as Q₂ = (1/2)(n+1)th
- Upper Quartile denoted as Q₃ = (3/4)(n+1)th
- Standard Deviation is denoted as s.d = √(Σx²/n) - (x̄)².
Ungrouped Data
- Mode represents the value(s) with the highest frequency.
- Mean is the average calculated as x̄ = Σfx / Σf.
- Lower Quartile denoted as Q₁ = (1/4)(n+1)th
- Median denoted as Q₂ = (1/2)(n+1)th.
- Upper Quartile denoted as Q₃ = (3/4)(n+1)th
- Standard Deviation is denoted as s.d = √[Σf(x²)/Σf] - (x̄)².
Grouped Data
- Mode represents the value(s) with the highest frequency.
- Mode from grouped data is calculated using the formula: Mode = Lm + (d₁ / (d₁ + d₂)) * c.
- Lm is the lower limit of the modal class.
- d₁ is the frequency of the modal class minus the frequency of the class immediately preceding it.
- d₂ is the frequency of the modal class minus the frequency of the class immediately following it.
- c is the width of the modal class interval.
- Mean is the average calculated as x̄ = Σf(x) / Σf
- Lower Quartile: Q₁ = (1/4)(n)th
- Q₁ = Lm +([(Σf/4) - f-c] / fm) * c
- Lm is the lower limit of the class of the lower quartile.
- f-c is the cumulative frequency preceding the class of the lower quartile.
- fm is the frequency of the class of the lower quartile.
- c is the class width of the lower quartile.
- Median denoted as Q₂ = (1/2)(n)th
- Median = Lm +([(Σf/2) - f-c] / fm) * c
- Lm is the lower limit of the median class.
- f-c is the cumulative frequency preceding the median class.
- fm is the frequency of the median class.
- c is the median class width.
- Upper Quartile denoted as Q₃ = (3/4)(n)th
- Q₃ = Lm +([(3Σf/4) - f-c] / fm) * c
- Lm is the lower limit of the class of the upper quartile.
- f-c is the cumulative frequency preceding the class of the upper quartile.
- fm is the frequency of the class of the upper quartile.
- c is the class width of the upper quartile.
- Standard Deviation is denoted as s.d = √[Σf(x²)/Σf] - (x̄)².
