Study Notes
Data Cleaning
- Cleaning data involves converting trace values to numerical values, specifically setting trace values to zero (tr=0).
Class Midpoints
- Using class midpoints to estimate the mean from a grouped frequency table assumes uniform distribution of values within each class.
Rainfall Distribution
- The Local Data Set (LDS) shows many values for rainfall as zero or trace, indicating that data is not uniformly distributed in the first class width.
Coding Effects
- The mean is influenced by operations such as addition, subtraction, division, and multiplication.
- Standard deviation (SD) is influenced only by division and multiplication.
Histogram Justification
- A histogram is appropriate for representing data because the data in question is continuous.
Histogram Features
- In a histogram, the area of each bar represents frequency, indicating the magnitude of data within ranges.
Frequency Calculation
- Frequency can be calculated using the formula: Frequency = Frequency Density (FD) × Class Width (CW).
Interpolation
- The interpolation formula is given by: LB + ((range/frequency) × extra), where LB is the lower bound.
Hypothesis Testing
- For hypothesis testing, if the p-value is greater than the significance level, the null hypothesis (Ho) is accepted.
- If the p-value is less than the significance level, the null hypothesis is rejected.
