Study Notes
Frequency Distribution Basics
- Class boundaries for 18-year-old graduates range from 17.5 to 18.5 years old.
- No requirement for the class width to be an even number when creating a frequency distribution.
Data Representation
- Thirty students recorded eye colors, suitable for a categorical frequency distribution.
- The relationship between class limits and boundaries is established as true.
Cumulative Frequency and Data Values
- Using an ogive, the cumulative frequency for data values less than or equal to 16 is 30.
- In a corresponding histogram, the total number of values represented is 22.
Histogram Characteristics
- A histogram can be classified based on its shape; in this case, it's identified as bimodal.
Visual Data Interpretation
- Graphs provide easier data analysis than numerical tables.
- Pareto charts must display data arranged from largest to smallest frequency.
Time Series Graphs
- Time series graphs are effective for demonstrating changes in data category frequencies over time.
Pie Chart Representation
- In a pie chart, to represent 24 out of 72 pepperoni pizza orders, 120° is needed, reflecting its proportional significance.
