Study Notes
Graphs and Diagrams
- A frequency curve is a curve obtained by joining the top midpoints of all rectangles of a histogram using a free hand.
- A frequency polygon is a closed figure formed by joining the top midpoints of all the rectangles of histograms using a straight line.
- A line graph is a type of chart used to show information that changes over time, comprising of two axes known as the 'x' axis and 'y' axis.
- A scatter diagram (also known as scatter plot, scatter graph, and correlation chart) is a tool for analyzing relationships between two variables.
- Pictograms are types of charts and graphs that use icons and images to represent data.
- A map diagram is a type of graph that represents geographic data.
Tabulation Method
- Tabulation is a method of presenting data in rows and columns, known as a table.
- A table consists of a table heading, stubs, box head, body, and footnotes.
- A good table should have a title compatible with the objectives of the study, and items to be compared should be placed in rows and columns close to each other.
- Items that need special emphasis should be placed in head rows or head columns and presented in bold figures.
Types of Tables
- A simple table presents discrete or categorical data, such as the population of states.
- A frequency distribution table presents the distribution of data into classes or groups, such as the height of students.
Graphical Representation of Data
- Histograms are graphical representations that organize a group of data points into user-specified ranges.
- Bar graphs are used to represent discrete data, and can be simple, multiple, component, or percentage bar graphs.
- A histogram condenses a data series into an easily interpreted visual by grouping data points into logical ranges.
Variables
- An independent variable is a variable that influences the behavior of another variable and can be manipulated in a study.
- A dependent variable is a variable that depends on or is influenced by another variable and responds to experimental manipulation.
Presentation of Data
- Presentation of data means exhibiting the data in a clear and attractive manner to facilitate understanding and analysis.
- There are many forms of presentation of data, including tables, graphs, and diagrams.
Qualitative Data
- Qualitative data can be nominal, ordinal, or dichotomous.
- Nominal data are categorical variables that have no measurement scales, such as blood groups or reasons for extraction of teeth.
- Ordinal data are categorized in terms of more than two variables and have a clearly implied direction, such as the severity of patient-perceived pain.
- Dichotomous data are binary variables that can have only two values, such as gender or the presence or absence of dental disease.
