To compare sets of data what do you use?
Averages
What can be used to represent a group of data?
Numbers
What are the four types of averages?
Mode, Median, Mean and Range
What is the Mode (general meaning)?
The Mode is the most common value
In a group of data how do you find the Mode (general meaning)?
Identify the data that appears most often
What is the Median (general meaning)?
The Median is the middle numbers when the set of data is ORDERED
How do you order data for Median (general meaning)?
Smallest to largest
What can you do to help find the answer for a set of data for Median (general meaning)?
Cross out from both sides
What happens if there are two numbers left when calculating the Median (general meaning)?
Add them both and divide answer by two
How do you find the Range (general meaning)?
The range measures the spread of the data set (smallest to largest)
How do you find the mean (general meaning)?
The mean add the numbers together and divide them by how many there are
How do you construct grouped frequency tables?
Go along the set if data and mark each item with a tally mark in the table, fill in the frequency collumn, find the total frequency
How do you find the mode (frequency tables)?
Highest frequency
How do you find the range (Calculating averages from frequency tables)?
Highest value - lowest value
How do you find the mean (frequency tables)?
Total fx/ Total f
How do you find the median (frequency tables)?
- n+1/2 n= number of values there are (calculate total frequency add 1 divide by 2
- Create collumn cf (cumalitive frequency) start with the first set of data from frequency collumn keep adding the row underneath till you get to the number that is above the total frequency
- The number after you added add 1 divide by 2 NOT BELOW f
- Finally look at the ACTUAL DATA FROM THE SET OF DATA and use that as your ANSWER
How do you find the mode (group frequency tables)?
Look for the highest frequency, write down the modal class from the left collumn
How do you find the median (group frequency tables)?
- Find the position of median (n+1/2) n = total number of value there are).
- Work out the cumalitive frequency:
- Start with the first set of data from frequency column
- Keep adding the row underneath till you get to the number that is above the total frequency
- The number after you added add 1 divide by 2) NOT BELOW
- Finally read the median from the left collumn (look at the ACTUAL DATA FROM THE SET OF DATA and use that as your ANSWER)
How do you find the mean (ranged data)?
- Find the midpoint of each class (x the ACTUAL DATA), add
- Calculate fx collumn (fx = frequency and actual data sum), finally mean x total f
- Find the middle number between the ACUTAL DATA for example 0-50 = 25
- Figure out the fx (if the x isnt 1 number create a new collumn for it with the middle number of the actual data)
- F= frequency x (x) actual data finally do total fx/total f
