Q

coefficient is a measure for the degree of symmetry in the variable distribution

17
Q

coefficient is a measure for the degree of peakedness/flatness in variable distribution

18
Q
  • displays data using contiguous vertical bars of various heights to represent frequencies of class
  • also used to summarize continuous data that are measured in an interval scale
19
Q

graph that displays the data by using lines that connect points plotted for the frequencies at midpoints of the classes

A

frequency polygons

20
Q

other name for Ogive

A

cumulative frequency graph

21
Q

allows us to quickly estimate the number of observations that are less than/equal to a value

22
Q

represents data by vertical/horizontal bars whose weights and lengths represent frequencies of data

23
Q
  • used to represent a frequency distribution for a categorical variable
  • frequencies are displayed by the height of vertical bars. which are arranged in order from highest to lowest on X-axis
A

Pareto charts

24
Q

represents data are collected over a period of time

A

Time Series Graph

25

steepness/slope
26
- different parts of a whole | - circle that is divided into sections according to percentage
Pie Graph
27
data plot that uses part of data value as the stem and another part as leaf to form groups/classes
Stem and leaf plots
28
what is used as leading digit (stem) in stem and leaf plots?
