    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
