Study Notes
Frequency Distributions and Their Graphs
- A frequency distribution is a table that organizes data into classes or intervals, showing the count of data entries in each class.
- The frequency (f) of a class is the number of data entries in that class.
- Class width is the difference between the lower and upper class limits.
- To construct a frequency distribution, first decide on the number of classes (usually between 5 and 20).
- Then find the class width by determining the range of the data and dividing by the number of classes. Round up to the nearest convenient number.
- Find the class limits. Starting with the minimum, add class width. Find upper class limits similarly.
- Create a tally mark for each data entry in the appropriate class.
- Count the tally marks to get the frequency for each class.
- Relative frequency is the proportion of data in a class (class frequency divided by total sample size).
Constructing a Frequency Distribution
- The number of classes will determine how to evenly organize data.
- Find class width by determining range and dividing by the number of classes and rounding up.
- Find class limits (upper and lower) by using class width and adding it to the lower class limit of the preceding class.
Graphs of Frequency Distributions
- A histogram is a bar graph that shows the frequency distribution of data.
- The horizontal axis displays the data values (numerical), while the vertical axis shows the frequencies.
- The bars must touch and show the frequencies of each class.
- A frequency polygon is a line graph showing the frequency distribution of data.
- The points are plotted at each class midpoint and the points are joined together.
- Relative frequency histograms use relative frequencies instead of frequencies on the vertical axis.
- Ogives are line graphs that show cumulative frequencies.
- Plot points using upper class boundaries and their corresponding cumulative frequencies.
- Connect points from left to right using upper class boundaries.
Class Boundaries
- Class boundaries are numbers that separate classes without gaps.
- Find the upper and lower class boundary by taking the upper class limit minus 0.5 and lower class limit + 0.5.
Stem-and-Leaf Plot
- Each data value is separated into a stem and a leaf.
- The stem contains the leading digits, and the leaf contains the trailing digits.
- Similar to a histogram, but it contains all the original data values.
Dot Plot
- A dot plot uses dots above a number line or horizontal axis to represent the data values.
- Each dot corresponds to a data entry.
- If a data entry is repeated, multiple dots are placed above the same value on the axis.
Pie Chart
- A pie chart is a circle divided into sectors.
- The size of each sector corresponds to the proportion or percentage of the frequency of each category.
- Relative frequency (percentage) for each category is multiplied by 360 degrees to calculate the sector size.
Measures of Central Tendency
- Mean: The sum of all entries divided by the number of entries. (average)
- Median: The middle value in an ordered data set.
- Mode: The value that appears most frequently in a data set.
Measures of Variation
- Range: The difference between the maximum and minimum values in a data set.
- Variance: An average of the squared deviations from the mean in a data set (population variance and sample variance formulas different).
- Standard Deviation: The square root of the variance (population standard deviation and sample standard deviation formulas different).
Weighted Mean
- The mean of a dataset where each entry has a weight.
- Weights of entries are multiplied by the entries and added up, and this sum is divided by the total of all weights.
Percentiles
- Percentiles divide data into 100 equal parts.
- The pth percentile is a value such that p percent of the data values are less than or equal to that value.
- A percentile is a position in a sorted dataset.
Quartiles
- Quartiles are percentiles that divide data into 4 parts.
- Q1 is the first quartile, Q2 is the median, and Q3 is the third quartile.
- Interquartile range (IQR): the difference between the third and first quartiles.
Box-and-Whisker Plot
- A box-and-whisker plot displays the five-number summary of a data set.
- Minimum value, first quartile, median, third quartile, and maximum value.
- A box is drawn using Q1, Q3 and a vertical line at the median Q2.
- Whiskers extend from the box to the minimum and maximum.
Standard Scores (z-scores)
- A z-score represents the number of standard deviations a data point is from the mean.
- z=(x-mean)/standard deviation.
