CHAPTER 2 Flashcards
bar chart
- a graphical display of data in categories made of vertical/horizontal bars
- each bar gives the frequence, relative frequency, or percentage frequency of items in its corresponding category
frequency distribution
A table
- summarize the number of items/measurements
- in each of several NONOVERLAPPING CLASSES
relative frequency of a class
frequency of the class/n
(n: number of observations)
percent frequency
percentage of items/measurements in each of several nonoverlapping classes
charts to summerize qualitative data
- bar chart
- pie chart
- Pareto chart
pie chart
- Each pie slice: represents the frequency, relative frequency or percentage frequency
construct pie chart
Relative frequency x 360
Pareto chart
histogram
mound shaped
symmetrical
skewed
frequency polygon
cumulative frequency distribution
ogive
dot plots
stem-and-leaf displays
- show the data set’s distribution by using stems consisting of leading digits and leaves (leaf) consisting of trailling digits
- place the measurements from smallest to largest
contigency table
scatter plot
gauge
bullet graph
treemap
sparklines
dashboard
data discovery
splitting the stems
stretch the display by assigning each set of leading digits to two or more rows
