    Study Notes

    Elementary Statistics Using Excel

    • The book is titled Elementary Statistics Using Excel, Sixth Edition, by Mario F. Triola.
    • cThe content covers Chapter 2, Exploring Data with Tables and Graphs.
    • Key topics within Chapter 2 include frequency distributions, histograms, graphs that enlighten/deceive, scatterplots, correlation, and regression.
    • A frequency distribution, also known as a frequency table, is a helpful tool for organizing and summarizing large datasets. It helps understand the nature of a data set's distribution.
    • A frequency distribution of a qualitative variable lists all categories and the number of elements in each category.
    • Example 2-1 provides data on 30 people's favorite donut varieties. This data is used to create a frequency distribution table.
    • Relative frequency of a category is calculated by dividing the frequency of that category by the sum of all frequencies.
    • Percentage is calculated by multiplying the relative frequency by 100%.
    • Example 2-2 demonstrates calculating relative frequency and percentage using the data from Table 2.4.
    • Case Study 2-1 explores whether today's children will be better off than their parents, presenting data from a survey.
    • A bar graph is a graph composed of bars whose heights represent the frequencies of respective categories.
    • A pie chart visually displays the relative frequencies or percentages of data categories within a circle.
    • Calculating angle sizes for a pie chart involves multiplying the relative frequency by 360 degrees.
    • Case Study 2-2 examines employee financial stress levels as measured by a survey's results.
    • A histogram is a graph that uses bars to show the frequencies of grouped quantitative data. The bars touch each other.
    • A frequency distribution for quantitative data lists classes and the number of values for each class. These values are grouped.
    • The class boundary is calculated from the midpoint of the upper class limit and the lower limit of the next class.
    • Class width is calculated by subtracting the lower boundary from the upper boundary.
    • The class midpoint is the average of the upper and lower boundaries of a class.
    • To calculate an approximate class width, subtract the smallest value from the largest, and divide the result by the number of classes.
    • Example 2-3 provides data on iPods sold, which is used to construct a frequency distribution table with 5 classes.
    • Relative frequency and percentage distributions for the iPods sold data are given in Example 2-4.
    • Dotplots use dots to represent the frequency of individual values in a data set.
    • Dotplots can be used to visualize data and identify outliers (extreme values).
    • Example 2-12 presents data on penalty minutes in hockey and guides constructing a dotplot. The purpose is to see distribution of penalty minutes and identifying outliers, or data points not similar to the others. Using the dotplot, the frequency distribution can be observed and understood.
    • Example 2-13 compares penalties of two competing hockey teams using dotplots. Comparison is made to analyze distributions and differences.
    • A cumulative frequency distribution shows the total number of data values less than or equal to the upper boundary of each class.
    • An ogive is a graph of cumulative frequencies where the cumulative frequencies for each class boundary are plotted.
    • Example 2-7 shows how to create a cumulative frequency distribution using the frequency distribution from example 2-3, on number of iPods sold.
    • Example 2-9 illustrates a stem-and-leaf display construction using monthly rents.
    • A stem-and-leaf display is a method of organizing quantitative data where each data point is divided into a stem and a leaf. The stem represents the first part of the number (often tens or hundreds), and the leaf represents the last part.
    • Example 2-8 shows construction of a stem-and-leaf graph using statistics scores of 30 students.
    • Outliers or extreme values are data points significantly different from other values in a data set.
