Study Notes
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.
