Study Notes
Relative Frequency Distribution
- Relative frequency can be expressed as a proportion or a percentage of total frequency.
- Formula: Relative frequency for a class = frequency for a class / sum of all frequencies; convert to percentage by multiplying by 100%.
Category Analysis
- The sum of relative frequencies for a category should equal 100%, within a margin of rounding error.
- The formula for percentage relative frequency: (frequency in category / total frequency) x 100%.
Normal Distribution Flaws
- A reported relative frequency distribution may have inconsistencies, such as totaling 124% instead of 100%.
- Accurate normal distribution should display frequencies that rise to a peak and then decline, not remain consistent.
Blood Platelet Count (Males)
- Lower class limits: 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600
- Upper class limits: 99, 199, 299, 399, 499, 599, 699
- Class width is consistently 100; total individuals accounted is 154.
Blood Platelet Count (Females)
- Lower class limits: 100, 200, 300, 400, 500
- Upper class limits: 199, 299, 399, 499, 599
- Class width is 100; total individuals accounted is 148.
Normal Distribution Criteria
- Strict criteria indicate the absence of a normal distribution if the characteristics do not align with expected patterns.
Features of Normal Frequency Distribution
- Characterized by a bell-shaped curve where frequencies elevate to a peak before tapering off.
- The distribution is roughly symmetric, mirroring frequencies before and after the peak.
Frequency Distribution Construction
- For body mass index (BMI) starting with the lower limit of 15.0 and class width of 6.0, a potential distribution is: 3, 9, 4, 3, 1.
- Another example involves screw lengths with set limits beginning at 3.470 in. and a width of 0.010 in.
Daily Rainfall Frequency Distribution
- Construction of a frequency distribution will depend on specific data points related to daily rainfall.
