Statistics Chapter 2 Quiz

What type of data presentation shows categories and their frequencies?

Grouped data represents individual observations written out in a list.

Define a frequency table.

In a frequency table, the column showing the outcomes is called the ______.

How many times did 'green' appear in the frequency table for favorite colors?

Match the following terms with their definitions:

A histogram uses categorical data while a frequency table uses numerical data.

What is the main purpose of a stem and leaf plot?

Introduction to Frequency Tables

A frequency table is a two-column representation showing possible outcomes alongside their respective frequencies in a given sample.
Example: Favorite colors of 20 students can be organized into a frequency table to display how often each color is chosen.

Frequency Table for Qualitative Data

A list of colors chosen by students:
- Responses included "purple", "red", "blue", "green", "yellow", and "orange".
Frequency counts for each color:
- Blue: 4, Green: 6, Orange: 1, Purple: 3, Red: 3, Yellow: 3

Listed Data vs. Grouped Data

Listed Data: Each observation is recorded as it appears, without any grouping.
Grouped Data: Data is categorized into equal intervals, creating class intervals on the real number line where each observation can easily fit.

Example of Constructing a Frequency Table

Numerical variable example provided with data points:
- 2, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4, 4, 7, 5, 2, 7, 4, 5, 3, 2, 2, 5, 7, 2, 4.
Constructing a frequency table for this data helps summarize and analyze distributions effectively.

Test your understanding of key concepts from Chapter 2, including frequency tables, relative frequency, histograms, and ogive curves. This quiz will assess your ability to interpret and create statistical data visualizations. Ideal for students of Dr. Tharu at Spelman College.
