Study Notes
Frequency Distributions
- A frequency distribution lists the number of occurrences for each data category.
- A relative frequency distribution shows the proportion of occurrences for each data category.
Classes and Limits
- Classes serve as the groupings for data.
- The lower class limit is the smallest value in a class, while the upper class limit is the largest value.
Class Widths
- Class widths represent the difference between consecutive lower class limits.
Types of Distributions
- A frequency distribution details each data category alongside its occurrence count.
- Relative frequency indicates the proportion (or percentage) of observations in a category, calculated by dividing the frequency by the total frequency count.
Graphical Representations
- A relative frequency distribution presents each data category with its corresponding relative frequency.
- A bar graph displays categories on one axis and their frequency or relative frequency on the other.
Specific Graph Types
- A Pareto chart is a type of bar graph arranged in descending order of frequency.
- A pie chart visually represents data as sectors of a circle, with each sector indicating a category.
- A histogram is constructed with rectangles representing each class of data, where the rectangle height corresponds to frequency or relative frequency and the width remains consistent, touching each other.
Time Series Analysis
- A time series plot features time measured on the horizontal axis and the corresponding value of the variable on the vertical axis, facilitating the analysis of trends over time.
