COLLECTION AND

PRESENTATION
OF DATA
Ms. Maribel T. Ilumin
Mathematics Teacher
DATA

Data can be defined as a systematic record


of a particular quantity.
It is a collection of facts and figures to be
used for a specific purpose such as a survey
or analysis.
Examples

Age, sex, business income and


expenses, country of birth,
capital expenditure, class
grades, eye color, vehicle ,test
items, etc.
COLLECTION AND PRESENTATION OF
DATA
Investigators in statistics must understand deeply
the goal of their study before proceeding to the
collection and presentation of data. Data which
are relevant to the problem must be collected to
avoid waste of time, effort, and resources.
Collection of Data

Data collection is defined as the procedure


of collecting, measuring and analyzing
accurate insights for research using
standard validated techniques. 
Situation in Collecting Data
Divide the students of your class into four groups. All of each
group the work of collecting one of the following kinds of
data:
a. Heights of 20 students of your class.
b. Number of absentees in each day in your class for a month.
c. Number of members in the families of your classmates.
d. Heights of 15 plants in or around your school.
Situation in Collecting Data
Let us move to the results students have gathered.
How did they collect their data in each group?
a. Did they collect the information from each and
every student, house or person concerned for obtaining
the information?
b. Did they get the information from some source like
available school records?
In the first case
when the information was collected by
the investigator herself or himself with
a definite objective in her or his mind.

the data obtained is called primary


data.
In the second case
when the information was gathered
from a source which already had the
information stored

the data obtained is


called secondary data.
Such data, which has been collected
by someone else in another context,
needs to be used with great care
ensuring that the source is reliable.
Presentation of Data

refers to an exhibition or putting


up data in an attractive and useful
manner such that it can be easily
interpreted. 
Presentation of Data
As soon as the work related to collection of
data is over, the investigator has to find out
ways to present them in a form which is
meaningful, easily understood and gives its
main features at a glance.
Example
Consider the marks obtained by 10 students in a
mathematics test as given below:
55 36 95 73 60 42 25
78 75 62
Raw Data

55 36 95 73 60 42 25
78 75 62
Raw data is data that has not been
processed for use.
Let us arrange the marks in ascending order

55 36 95 73 60 42 25
78 75 62
25 36 42 55 60 62
73 75 78 95
25 36 42 55 60 62
73 75 78 95
Now, we can clearly see that
the lowest marks are 25 and
the highest marks are 95.
25 36 42 55 60 62
73 75 78 95
The difference of the highest and
the lowest values in the data is
called the RANGE of the data.
25 36 42 55 60 62
73 75 78 95
RANGE = 95 – 25 = 70
Presentation of data in ascending or
descending order can be quite time
consuming, particularly when the
number of observations in an
experiment is large
Example

Consider the marks obtained (out of


100 marks) by 30 students of Class IX
of a school: 
10   20   36   92 95   40 50 56 60 70
92   88   80   70   72   70 36  40 36   40
92   40   50   50   56   60   70 60   60 88 
Frequency Distribution

A frequency distribution is a
representation, either in a graphical or
tabular format, that displays the number of
observations within a given interval.
10   20   36   92 95   40 50 56 60 70
92   88   80   70   72   70 36  40 36   40
92   40   50   50   56   60   70 60   60 88
