Chapter 8 making sense of sample data
1 like369 views
This document provides information about organizing and summarizing raw data. It discusses discrete and continuous data and how to represent each using frequency tables and graphs. For discrete data, it shows an example of fraudulent bank cheques received each week organized into a frequency table. For continuous data, it shows truck weights organized into a grouped frequency table. It also defines key terminology for working with data like variable of interest, data point, frequency, class interval, and discusses different ways to present data visually including histograms, pie charts, line graphs and stem-and-leaf plots. Finally, it includes an example using a pie chart to represent eye color frequencies in a class.

It is the number of fraudulent cheques in a week. Continuous or Discrete Data? Discrete Data because cheques can only exist in whole numbers. Raw Data? A list of different values. Data has not been processed in any way. Data Point or Observation? Each of the values in the raw data. Frequency? The number of times a data value appears. Frequency Table Table to organise and summarise data.
