1. Categorical Data! Frequency Table –Records the totals (counts or percentage of observations) for each category. If percentages are shown, it is a relative frequency table. Distribution –Shows the possible values of the variable and the relative frequency of each value

2. Types of Graphs Picture –Remember… Bar Chart – counts for comparison

3. Pie Chart – pieces for proportion

4. Segmented Bar Chart

5. Contingency Table Displays counts and sometimes percentages of individuals falling into named categories on two or more variables. Shows how individuals are distributed along each variable contingent on the value of another variable. –Marginal distribution: distribution of either variable by itself (last row or column) –Conditional Distribution: distribution of 1 variable for those individuals satisfying a condition on another variable. Considers a smaller group isolated from the whole.

6. Independence??? Independence…think impact! –Variables are independent (one variable does not influence the value of the other variable) if the conditional distribution of 1 variable is the same for each category of the other.

10. What percent of children have no parent that smokes? Students and both parents that smoke compose what percent of the total? Of 1 parent smokers, what is the percentage of children who smoke?

11. Is student smoking preference independent of parent choice? Neither Parent Smokes One Parent Smokes Both Parents Smoke Student Does Not Smoke 1168 26.72% 1823 41.71% 1380 31.57% Student Smokes 188 18.73% 416 41.4% 400 39.84% 4371 1004 1356223917805375
