Study Notes
Grouped Frequency Distribution Table
- GFDT stands for Grouped Frequency Distribution Table, a method of presenting data in intervals.
Range
- The range is calculated by subtracting the minimum data value from the maximum data value.
Class Width
- Class width is determined by dividing the range by the number of groups, representing the span from the beginning to the end of a class.
Class Limits
- Class limits include lower and upper values defining the smallest and largest data points that can fit within a class, accurate to the data precision.
Class Boundary
- Class boundaries are positioned halfway between consecutive class limits, providing a more precise value with one additional degree of accuracy than the actual data limits.
Class Midpoint
- The class midpoint represents the average of the lower and upper class limits, serving as a central value for the class.
'Nice' Class Width
- A 'nice' class width is typically a multiple of 5 or 10, facilitating easier data interpretation and organization.
Histogram
- A histogram visually represents a GFDT as a bar graph where bars are adjacent, employing class boundaries for accurate data grouping.
Bell-Shaped Distribution
- Describes a disturbance with a central peak that symmetrically tapers off on both sides, often representing normal distribution.
Uniform Distribution
- A uniform distribution appears nearly flat, indicating similar frequencies across all classes.
J-Shaped Distribution
- Characterized by a disturbance that shows an increase in frequencies from left to right.
Reverse J-Shaped Distribution
- Reflects a disturbance where frequencies decrease from left to right.
Right-Skewed Distribution
- A right-skewed disturbance resembles a bell curve when the right side is obscured, with a longer tail on the right.
Left-Skewed Distribution
- A left-skewed disturbance shows a bell curve when the left side is hidden, featuring a longer tail on the left.
Bimodal Distribution
- A bimodal distribution has two distinct peaks, indicating two prevalent groups within the data.
U-Shaped Distribution
- This disturbance peaks on both ends, while the center dips down, forming a U-like shape.
Frequency Polygon
- A frequency polygon displays data via dots connected by lines at class midpoints, anchoring to the x-axis before and after the dataset.
Time Series Graph
- Utilizes dots and lines to represent data over time, plotting time on the x-axis without anchoring.
Quartiles
- Quartiles are unique percentiles that signify the location of data within a dataset, dividing the data into four equal parts.
First Quartile
- The first quartile corresponds to the 25th percentile, marking a quarter of the dataset below this value.
Second Quartile (Median)
- The second quartile equates to the 50th percentile and often represents the dataset's median value.
Third Quartile
- The third quartile is aligned with the 75th percentile, indicating three-quarters of the data fall below this value.
Inner Quartile Range
- Calculated as Quartile 1 minus Quartile 3, providing insight into the spread of the middle 50% of the data.
Five Number Summary
- Comprises Minimum, Quartile 1, Median, Quartile 3, and Maximum values, summarizing key characteristics of the dataset.
Box Plots
- Box plots graphically depict the five-number summary, visually representing the distribution and spread of data through quartiles and extremes.
