What is the formula triangle to calculate frequency density ?
Frequency
Frequency densityX group width
If you have a question on box plots, what do you always talk about?
The median and relate it to the question e.t. On average…did better.
The IQR which group is the most consistent.
How do you draw the frequency polygon ?
Plot the midpoint of each group with the frequency and connect the points with straight lines.
Don’t connect the first point with the origin.
What is meant by a random sample ?
Each member of the population has an equal chance of selection.
If you have a cumulative frequency graph and need to find the number of things above or below a certain thing on the X axis, what do you do?
Draw a line from the point you want on the X axis up to the cumulative frequency line. Then from this point, draw a horizontal line to the Y axis.
If you need to find the number of things below a value, this is your answer.
If you want to find the number of vales above, remove the answer you got from the total.
What is a stratified sample?
The number from each group is proportional to the number in the population.
