Study Notes

Statistics and Data Analysis

A frequency distribution is an organization of observed data into tabular form in which classes and frequencies are used.

Relative Frequency and Cumulative Frequency

Relative frequency is the proportion of observations that fall within a particular class.
Cumulative frequency is the total number of observations that fall within a particular class and all preceding classes.

Stem-and-Leaf Diagrams

A stem-and-leaf diagram is a graphical representation of data that shows the distribution of values.
The number that occurred the most is the mode of the data set.

Histograms

A histogram is a graphical representation of a frequency distribution.
It is used to display the distribution of continuous data.

Measures of Central Tendency

The mean is a measure of central tendency that is sensitive to outliers.
The median is a measure of central tendency that is not affected by outliers.
The mode is a measure of central tendency that represents the most frequent value in the data set.

Measures of Variability

The range is the difference between the largest and smallest values in a data set.
The interquartile range is the difference between the third quartile (Q3) and the first quartile (Q1).
The standard deviation is a measure of variability that represents how spread out the data is from the mean.
The mean absolute deviation is a measure of variability that represents the average distance from the mean.

Skewness

A negatively skewed distribution has a tail to the left of the mean.
A positively skewed distribution has a tail to the right of the mean.
