Math 7 Module 4.3 Statistical Graphs

This document discusses different types of statistical graphs: bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, frequency polygons, and ogives. It provides the characteristics, advantages, and uses of each graph type. Specifically, bar graphs and pie charts are used to display categorical data, while histograms, frequency polygons, and ogives are used to display continuous data in a frequency distribution using class intervals from a data set on the weights of athletes.

Statistical Graphs

Learning Objectives:

1. Graph data using bar graph, pie chart, histogram, frequency polygon, and o-give.
2. Determine the characteristics, advantage, and use of each graph.

A graph is a picture designed to show a relationship between two or more quantities.

Types of Graphs Graphs


A bar graph uses vertical or horizontal bars to show the
relationship between quantities.

Advantages:
1. Shows each data category in a frequency distribution
2. Displays relative numbers or proportions of multiple
categories
3. Summarizes a large data set in visual form
4. Clarifies trends better than table.
5. Estimates key values at a glance.
6. Permits a visual check of the accuracy and
reasonableness of calculations.

Disadvantage:
A Bar Graph can only be used with discrete data.
A pie chart is circular chart that is divided into slices to
show the distribution of a given data.

Advantages:
1. A simple and easy-to-understand picture.
2. It represents data visually as a fractional part of a whole,
which can be an effective communication tool for the even
uninformed audience.
3. It enables the audience to see a data comparison at a
glance to make an immediate analysis or to understand
information quickly.

Disadvantage:
If too many pieces of data are used, pie chart becomes less
effective.

The succeeding graphs require the use of continuous data. This can be presented better using a frequency
distribution.

Class Interval Class Boundary Frequency (f) Cumulative Frequency (cf)


60 - 64 59.5 - 64.5 2 2
65 - 69 64.5 - 69.5 5 7
70 - 74 69.5 - 74.5 9 16
75 - 79 74.5 - 79.5 10 26
80 - 84 79.5 - 84.5 8 34
85 - 89 84.5 - 89.5 7 41
90 - 94 89.5 - 94.5 5 46
95 - 99 94.5 - 99.5 4 50

Class interval is within its class boundary. A class boundary is exactly halfway between the upper limit of
an interval and the lower limit of the succeeding interval.
We use the given distribution to make a histogram. A histogram is similar to a bar graph but it has no gaps
in between bars. The histogram uses continuous datal a bar graph uses discrete data. The horizontal axis is divided
into class boundaries.

Another kind of graph that can be used to represent the frequency distribution of the weights of athletes
is the frequency polygon. A frequency polygon is a line graph or a line chart used to display the given data. Series
of data points are connected by segments that start from the origin then to the different points that are plotted
based on the frequencies and class marks in the distribution.

Class Interval Frequency (f) Cumulative Class Mark (xm)


Frequency (cf)
60-64 2 2 62
65-69 5 7 67
70-74 9 16 72
75-79 10 26 77
80-84 8 34 82
85-89 7 41 87
90-94 5 46 92
95-99 4 50 97

An Ogive (oh-jive) is a graph, similar to the frequency polygon but is graphed based on the class marks and the
cumulative frequencies.
