Study Notes
Ungrouped Frequency Distribution
- An ungrouped frequency distribution lists various values of a variable alongside their corresponding frequencies.
- It's used when the data doesn't reveal any pattern, or when the possible values a variable can take are large.
- Tally marks help count the frequency of each value.
Grouped Frequency Distribution
- Grouping similar values together creates a grouped frequency distribution for a discrete variable.
Class Interval Width
- The width of a class interval is determined by dividing the difference between the largest and smallest observations by the number of class intervals.
- Formula: Class Interval = (Largest observation - Smallest observation) / Number of class intervals
- Aim for equal width class intervals to facilitate analysis and representation.
- Consider making class intervals multiples of 5, as they are easier to understand.
- Ensure the mid-value of a class interval is convenient to find.
- Classes should be of equal width for easier analysis and representation.
