Descriptive Statistics Flashcards
(29 cards)
It is the data in original form
It is the output of the study
Raw Data
It is the number of data values combined in specific class
Frequency
Where each raw data is placed
Class (Quantitative or Qualitative
organization of raw data in table form, using classes and frequency
Frequency Distribution
2 types of Frequency Distribution
Categorized, Grouped/Ungrouped
used for data that can be placed in specific category, such as nominal/ordinal class
Categorical frequency distribution
It is used when frequency of the date is large
Grouped Frequency Distribution
These are data grouped into classes that are more than one unit in wealth
Frequency distribution
It represents the smallest data value
Lower class limit
It represents the highest data value
Upper class limit
numbers that are used to separate the classes so there are no gaps in frequency distribution
class boundaries
should have the same decimal value as data
class limits
should have one additional decimal place value and always end in 5
class boundaries
preferred value of this would be an odd number
class width
adding all frequencies
cumulative frequencies
coefficient is a measure for the degree of symmetry in the variable distribution
skewness
coefficient is a measure for the degree of peakedness/flatness in variable distribution
kurtosis
- 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
histograms
graph that displays the data by using lines that connect points plotted for the frequencies at midpoints of the classes
frequency polygons
other name for Ogive
cumulative frequency graph
allows us to quickly estimate the number of observations that are less than/equal to a value
Ogive
represents data by vertical/horizontal bars whose weights and lengths represent frequencies of data
bar graphs
- 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
Pareto charts
represents data are collected over a period of time
