Study Notes
Frequency Distribution Table (FDT)
- A statistical table used to summarize and organize data
- Has several columns: Class, Tally, Frequency (f), True Class Boundary (TCB), Relative Frequency (RF%), and Class Mark (CM)
Steps to Construct an FDT
- Determine the range (R) of the data
- Determine the number of classes (k) using the rule of thumb or a formula
- Compute the class interval (c)
- Construct the classes with lower and upper class limits
- Summation notation is used to give a concise expression for a sum of values of a variable
Statistics
- Concerned with scientific methods of collection, organization, presentation, analysis, and interpretation of data
- Branches: Descriptive Statistics (summarizing and presenting data) and Inferential Statistics (drawing conclusions and making decisions)
Descriptive Statistics
- Focuses on organizing, summarizing, and presenting data
- Uses measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and variability (range, variance, standard deviation)
Summation Notation
- Used to express the sum of values of a variable
- Example: ∑xi = x1 + x2 + … + xN
Frequency Distribution Table Applications
- Cumulative frequencies (CF) and relative cumulative frequencies (RCF) can be computed
- Applications in business, economics, social sciences, and engineering
Example: Frequency Distribution Table of Stock Prices
- Class: intervals of stock prices (e.g., 15-19, 20-24, etc.)
- Frequency (f): number of observations in each class
- True Class Boundary (TCB): lower and upper limits of each class
- Relative Frequency (RF%): proportion of observations in each class
- Class Mark (CM): midpoint of each class interval
