tailieunhanh - Lecture Statistical techniques in business and economics - Chapter 2: Describing data: frequency distribution and graphic presentation

When you have completed this chapter, you will be able to: Organize raw data into frequency distribution; produce a histogram, a frequency polygon, and a cumulative frequency polygon from quantitative data; develop and interpret a stem-and-leaf display; present qualitative data using such graphical techniques such as a clustered bar chart, a stacked bar chart, and a pie chart; detect graphic deceptions and use a graph to present data with clarity, precision, and efficiency. | Describing Data requency Distributions f Graphic Presentations & Copyright © 2003 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

The range of categories includes all values in the data set (collectively exhaustive classes).

Frequency Distribution Frequency Distribution Definitions Class Midpoint or Class Mark: A point that divides a class into two equal parts, . the average of the upper and lower class limits. Class frequency: The number of observations in each class. Class interval: The class interval is obtained by subtracting the lower limit of a class from the lower limit of the next class, . 5 EXAMPLE Dr. Tillman is Dean of the School of Business. He wishes to prepare a report showing the number of hours per week students spend studying. He selects a random sample of 30 students and determines the number of hours each student studied last week. , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , . Required: Organize the data into a frequency distribution. Q uestion Decide how many classes you wish to use. Frequency Distributions by hand Determine the class width. There are five steps that can be used to
