Chapter 3Statistics: Organisation of Data

Raw data → classify → frequency distribution.

1. Classification

  • chronological (time)
  • spatial (place)
  • qualitative (attribute)
  • quantitative (variable)

2. Variables

  • Continuous: any value in a range (height).
  • Discrete: whole numbers only (number of children).

3. Frequency Distribution

  • Class interval, class limits, class mark = (lower + upper)/2, class width.
  • Exclusive (10–20, 20–30: upper limit excluded) vs inclusive (10–19, 20–29).
  • Tally marks to count frequencies.
Class mark=Lower limit+Upper limit2\text{Class mark} = \dfrac{\text{Lower limit} + \text{Upper limit}}{2}

4. Bivariate Distribution

Frequency table for two variables at once (e.g. sales and advertising).

5. Key Points

  • Loss of information after grouping.
  • Equal class intervals preferred.
  • Adjust inclusive classes for continuity.
  • Sum of frequencies = total observations.

Remember: 4 classifications | discrete vs continuous | exclusive vs inclusive
