Frequency Table A frequency table partitions data into classes or intervals and shows how many data values are in each class.
The classes or intervals are constructed so that each data value falls into exactly one class.
![Page 6: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How to Make a Frequency Table1. Determine the number of classes and corresponding class width.
2. Create the distinct classes. o Lower class limit of the first class is the smallest data value.o Add the class width to this number to get the lower class limit of the next number.
3. Fill in the upper class limits to create distinct classes that accommodate all possible data values from the data set.
4. Tally the data into classes.o Each data value of should fall into exactly one class.o Total the tallies to obtain each class frequency.
5. Compare the midpoint (class mark) for each class.
6. Determine the class boundaries.

Number of Classeso Usually use 5 to 15 classes
Less than five classes – risk losing too much information
More than 15 classes – data may not be sufficiently summarized
Let the spread of data and purpose of the frequency table be your guide.
For the commuting data, let’s use six classes.
![Page 9: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Class Limits Lower Class Limit:
The lowest data value that can fit in a class.
Upper Class Limit:
The highest data value that can fit in a class.
Class Width:
The difference between the lower class limit of one class and the lower class limit of the next class.
Commuting Class Limits:
Class Width/Limits

How to Tally Data Tallying Data: method of counting data values that fall into a particular class or category.
Examine each data value and determine which class it falls into. Use a tally mark to count it.
The fifth tally mark is placed diagonally across the prior four marks.
Class Frequency: The number of tally marks corresponding to that class.
![Page 12: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Class Midpoint (Class Mark) Midpoint (Class Mark): The center of each class.
- Often used as a representative value of the entire class.
![Page 13: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Class Boundaries There is a space between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next class.
The halfway points of these intervals are called class boundaries.
UPPER CLASS BOUNDARIES: add 0.5 unit to the upper class limits.
LOWER CLASS BOUNDARIES: subtract 0.5 unit from the lower class limits.
![Page 14: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Relative Frequency The Relative Frequency of a class is its proportion of all data values that fall into that class.
See page 39 in your text for the Relative Frequencies of One-Way Commuting Distances Table.
![Page 16: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
How to Make a Histogram or a Relative-Frequency Histogram
1. Make a frequency table (including relative frequencies) with the designated number of classes.
2. Place class boundaries on the horizontal axis and frequencies or relative frequencies on the vertical axis.
3. For each class of the frequency table, draw a bar whose width extends between corresponding class boundaries.
o For histograms, the height of each bar is the corresponding class frequency.o For relative-frequency histograms, the height of each bar is the corresponding class relative
frequency.

Distribution Shapeso Mound-shaped symmetrical: both sides of the histogram are the same when the graph is folded vertically down the middle.
o Uniform or rectangular: Every class has the same frequency.
o Skewed left/right: One tail is stretched out longer than the other. The direction of the skewness is on the side of the longer tail.
o Bimodal: Two class with the largest frequencies are separated by at least one class. Top two frequencies of these classes may have slightly different values. Can possibly indicate we are sampling from two different populations.
![Page 20: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Distribution Shapes - continued
If raw data came from a random sample of the population, then the histogram of that sample should have a shape representative or similar to that of the population.
a.k.a. “Mound-Shaped”
Bimodal
![Page 21: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Outliers Outliers in a data set are data values that are very different from other measurements in the data set.
May indicate data recording errors.
Valid outliers may need to be examined separately.
![Page 22: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Cumulative Frequency Tables;Ogives
The cumulative frequency for a class is the sum of the frequencies for that class and all previous classes.
An ogive is a graph that displays cumulative frequencies.
Cumulative-frequency tables are easy to construct once
we have made the basic frequency table!
Ogives are especially useful for examining
data from the point of view of numbers of
scores above (or below) a given level.
![Page 23: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How to Make an Ogive1. Make a frequency table showing class boundaries and cumulative frequencies.
2. For each class, make a dot over the upper class boundary at the height of the cumulative class frequency. The coordinates of the dots are (upper class boundary, cumulative class frequency). Connect these dots with line segments.
3. By convention, an ogive begins on the horizontal axis at the lower class boundary of the first class.
See example 3 on pages 44 and 45

Bar Graphs Features:
1. Bars can be ____________________ or __________________.
2. Bars are of uniform width and uniformly spaced.
3. The lengths of the bars represent ______________________________________________being
displayed, the ________________ of occurrence, or the _____________________ of occurrence.
The same measurement scale is used for each bar.
4. The graph is well annotated with ____________, ______________ for each bar, and
_________________ or actual value for the length of each bar.
Can be used to display
quantitative or qualitative
data.
![Page 31: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Changing Scale Whenever you use a change in scale in a graphic, warn the viewer by using a squiggle on the changed axis.
Sometimes, if a single bar is unusually long, the bar length is compressed with a squiggle in the bar itself.
See Example 4, pages 50-51
![Page 32: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Pareto Chart A Pareto Chart is a bar graph in which the bar height represents the frequency of an event.
The bars are arranged from left to right according to decreasing height.
Pareto Charts are very useful in quality-control programs.
![Page 33: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Circle Graph or Pie Charto Popular
o Relatively safe from misinterpretation
o Especially useful for showing the division of a total quantity into its composed parts.
In a circle graph or pie chart, wedges of a circle visually display proportional parts of the total
population that share a common _________________________.
![Page 36: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

over a _______________________.
See pages 53-54for an example of
how to create aTime-series graph.
![Page 39: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Time-series data Time-series data consist of measurements of the same _____________________ for the same
___________________ taken at regular _____________________ over a period of time.
![Page 40: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
How to Decide Which Type of Graph to Use?
_____________________: useful for quantitative or qualitative data;o Qualitative: the frequency or percentage of occurrence can be displayedo Quantitative: the measurement itself can be displayed.
watch that the measurement scale is consistent of that a jump scale squiggle is used.
_________________________: Identify the frequency of events or categories in decreasing order of frequency of occurrence.
__________________________:Display how a total is dispersed into several categories.Very appropriate for qualitative data or any data for which percentage of occurrence makes sense.Most effective when the number of categories is 10 or fewer.
_____________________:Display how data change over time;It is best if the units of time are consistent in a given graph.
![Page 41: Statistics CHAPTER 2: ORGANIZING DATA. Section 2.1 FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS, HISTOGRAMS, AND RELATED TOPICS](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062322/56649dbf5503460f94ab3cc5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
For any graph… Provide a title;
Label the axes;
Identify the units of measure.
Don’t let artwork or skewed perspective cloud the clarity of the information
displayed.
