Study Notes
Data Scale Graph/Diagram
- Types of data:
- Qualitative: Nominal, Ordinal
- Quantitative: Interval (Scale), Ratio (Scale)
Types of Graphs/Diagrams
- Bar Diagram: used for qualitative data
- Pie Chart: used for qualitative data
- Pictogram Map Diagram/Spot Map: used for qualitative data
- Histogram: used for quantitative data, with no natural separation between rectangles of adjacent classes
- Frequency Polygon/Curve Line: used for quantitative data
- Scatter Diagram: used to show relationships between variables
Histogram
- A graphical presentation of quantitative data
- Horizontal axis: variable of interest
- Rectangles drawn above each class interval with heights corresponding to frequency, relative frequency, or percent frequency
Scatter Plots
- Used to reveal relationships between variables
- Patterns that can be illustrated:
- Data correlation
- Positive or direct relationships between variables
- Negative or inverse relationships between variables
- Scattered data points
- Non-linear patterns
