EXAMPLE 2-1
A sample of 30 persons who often consume
donuts were asked what variety of donuts was
their favourite. The responses from these 30
persons were as follows:
glazed filled other plain glazed other
frosted filled filled glazed other frosted
glazed plain other glazed glazed filled
frosted plain other other frosted filled
filled other frosted glazed glazed filled

GRAPHING GROUPED DATA
 In a histogram, the bars are drawn adjacent to
each other.

POLYGON
 A graph formed by joining the midpoints of the tops
of successive bars in a histogram with straight
lines is called a polygon.
WRITING AND LABELLING CLASSES
 (i) 5-9, 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, 25-29 (discrete data)

EXAMPLE 2-6
The administration in a large city wanted to
know the distribution of vehicles owned by
households in that city. A sample of 40
randomly selected households from this city
produced the following data on the number
of vehicles owned:
5 1 1 2 0 1 1 2 1 1
1 3 3 0 2 5 1 2 3 4
2 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 1
4 2 1 1 2 1 1 4 1 3
Construct a frequency distribution table
and bar chart for these data using single-
value classes.
SHAPES OF HISTOGRAM
 Symmetric histograms

 (a) Skewed to the right / positively skewed and


(b) Skewed to the left / negatively skewed

 Uniform
(a) and (b) Symmetric frequency curves.
(c)Frequency curve skewed to the
right/positively skewed
(d)Frequency curve skewed to the
left/negatively skewed
EXERCISE 2:

keyboards assembled at the Twentieth Century
Electronics Company for a sample of 25 days.

48 46 43 52 50 54 47 44 47 50 49 52

a.Construct a frequency distribution table for


these data. (use the class 41-44, 45-48, etc)
b. Calculate the relative frequencies for all classes.
c. Construct a histogram for the relative
frequency
distribution.
d. Construct a polygon for the relative
frequency
A cumulative frequency distribution gives the total number
of values that fall below the upper boundary of each class.
Cumulative frequency of a class
Cumulative relativefrequency  Total observations in the data
set
Cumulative percentage  (Cumulative relativefrequency) 100
OGIVE
An ogive is a curve drawn for the cumulative
frequency distribution by joining with straight lines the
dots marked above the upper boundaries of classes at
heights equal to the cumulative frequencies of respective
classes.
Exercise 3: 2.34
Number of Galloons Number of customers
0 to less than 4 31
4 to less than 8 78
8 to less than 12 49
12 to less than 16 81
16 to less than 20 117
20 to less than 24 13

a. Prepare a cumulative frequency distribution.


b. Calculate the cumulative relative frequencies and
cumulative percentages for each class.
c. Find the percentage of customers who purchased less
than 16 galloons.
d. Draw an ogive for the cumulative percentage
distribution.
e. Using the ogive, estimate the percentage of customers
who purchased less than 10 galloons.
In a stem-and-leaf display of quantitative data, each value
is divided into two portions – a stem and a leaf. The
leaves for each stem are shown separately in a display.
EXAMPLE 2-8
The following are the scores of 30 college
students on a statistics test:

Construct a stem-and-leaf display.

Legend: 5|0 means 50 marks


Example 2-9: The following data give the monthly rents
paid by a sample of 30 households selected from a
small town.

Construct a stem-and-leaf display for these data.

Legend: 6|30 means RM 630


EXERCISE 4:
2.48: The following data give the time (in minutes)
that each of 20 students waited in line at their
bookstore to pay for their textbooks in the
beginning of Spring 2009 semester. (Note: To
prepare a stem-and-leaf display, each number in
this data set can be written as a two-digit number.
For example, 8 can be written as 08, for which the
stem is 0 and the leaf is 8.)
