Frequency Distribution and Graphs

A Frequency Distribution table answers two question:

1. What values of the variable have been measured?


2. How often did each value occur?

Different graphs to display the distribution:

1. Bar charts
2. Pareto charts
3. Pie charts: they are useful for displaying data that are classified into nominal or ordinal
categories.

Bar graph – simply displays a bar (rectangle) for each category with the length of each bar representing
the frequency of that category.

-used to compare visually different categories of data and to show trends or changes over time.

Pareto Chart- is bar graph ordered from highest to lowest frequency.

-best to use when trying to compare parts of a whole especially when there are not too many
different categories.

Pie chart- is a circle with wedges cut of varying sizes representing the relative frequencies of each
category

Line graph- are used to track changes over short and long period of time and also used to compare
changes over the same period of time for more than one group.

Time Series Graph- can be constructed to present data collected over period of time.

-used to show trend

Secular trends- are usually drawn over long period of time.

Cyclical Trend- refer to the business cycle

Seasonal trends- graphs that show the value of a commodity for a short period of year.

Measures of Central Tendency

Mean

-of a set of measurements is the sum of a sample of measurements divided by that number of data
points.
Median

- set of data arranged accordingly to size (ascending or descending) is the value of the middle data point
if the number of data points is odd, and the mean of the two most middle data points if the number of
data points is even.

Mode

-The value in a data set that occurs with the highest frequency and more than once.
