Organizing and Displaying Data Chapter 2 Organizing and Displaying Data
A rank order distribution presents a quick view of group variability.
Larger data sets can be organized into a simple frequency distribution.
A grouped frequency should be divided into approx. 15 groups. Interval = range/15
A histogram is constructed from a grouped frequency distribution
A frequency polygon is a line graph of the scores plotted the frequency.
Cumulative Frequency: number of scores below a given score.
A cumulative frequency graph shows the number of scores at or below a given score.
The normal curve is symmetrical, with mean, median & mode at the same score.
