Study Notes
Summation Notations
- Summation notation is a shorthand method for writing sums of numbers.
- The symbol used to represent summation is the Greek capital letter sigma (Σ)
- The summation notation is used to express the sum of all the values of a variable x, where i=1 to n.
Evaluating Summation Notations
- In evaluating summation notations, substitute each value of the variable into the expression and then add the results.
Presenting Data
- There are three methods for presenting data:
- Textual
- Tabular
- Graphical
Textual Presentation
- Textual presentation involves describing data using words in paragraphs.
Tabular Presentation
- A table is a structured and organized arrangement of data in rows and columns.
- It helps present data in a concise and easily understandable format.
- A table will show complete information regarding the data.
- Parts of a table include:
- Heading: includes the table number, title, and headings for rows and columns
- Body: contains the actual data being presented
- Footnotes: provides additional information about the table
Graphical Presentation
- Graphical presentation of data can be achieved using:
- Bar charts and histograms: Used for nominal data with bars representing different categories or for numerical data with bars representing frequency of each class.
- Frequency polygons: connect the midpoints of the tops of each bar in a histogram, creating a line graph.
- Frequency ogives: plot the cumulative frequencies against the upper class boundaries.
Scales of Measurement
- Nominal Scale: used for categorizing data into distinct groups.
- Ordinal Scale: used for ranking data in a specific order, but doesn't indicate differences in magnitude.
- Interval Scale: used to measure data with intervals that are equal, but no true zero point.
- Ratio Scale: used to measure data with intervals, equal units, and a true zero point.
