2
Displaying Data Diagrammatically
3
Basic Concepts Frequency Cumulative Frequency Relative Frequency Bar Charts Histograms Pie Charts Stem-and-leaf Charts
4
What Can you see from a chart? Shape of Distribution Mode: uni or multimodal? outliers Is the data symmetrical? Skewed to the right (+ve) Skewed to the left (-ve)
5
Worked example Birth weight of 46 babies in kg. Plot the data into a histogram and a pie chart
6
Histogram Frequency
7
What can you see in a histogram? Mode The distribution is NOT symmetrical Distribution skewed to the left (-vely skewed)
8
Multimodal Histogram Example: 1, 2, 4, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 9 Mode: 4 and 8 XFrequency 11 21 43 71 83 92
9
Relative Frequency Freq of x divided by total frequencies

Relative Frequency
12
Understanding Relative Freq chart Mode The distribution is NOT symmetrical Symmetry is easier to judge here The outlines of Relative Freq and histogram are similar.
13
Cumulative Frequency Freq of x plus sum of previous freq’s

What can you in a Cum Freq chart? Median & Quartiles http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/mat hs/statistics/representingdata3hirev5.shtml Median: reading nb 23? Upper Quartile (Q3) nb 34.5? Lower Quartile (Q1) nb 11.5?

Pie Chart Circle is 360° and each frequency is represented by a suitable angle OR

Pie Chart

What can you spot in a pie chart? Illustrates Proportion of data in a sample or population

Conclusions The same information can be presented in different format Each type of chart can emphasise certain information MS Excel can do all these charts and more Download the Excel sheet for lecture 3 and practice in your own time
