What is a Frequency Table?

1 / 26

27 Terms

1

What is a Frequency Table?

Shows the number of individuals having each value.

New cards
2

What is a Relative Frequency Table?

Shows the proportion (percent) of individuals having each value within a table.

New cards
3

What is a Bar Graph?

Shows each category as a bar. The heights of the bars show the category counts or relative frequencies (percent).

New cards
4

What is a Pie Chart?

Shows each category as a slice of the “pie.” The areas of the slices are proportional to the category percentages. MUST ADD UP TO 100%, this might include adding an “other” category.

New cards
5

What is a Two-Way Table?

A table of counts that summarize data on the relationship between two categorical variables for some group of individuals.

New cards
6

What is Marginal Relative Frequency?

Gives the percent/proportion of individuals that have a specific value for one categorical variable. Percent on the outside

EX: 13/33 = 39.4%; think of another one.

7

What is Joint Relative Frequency?

Gives the percent/proportion of individuals that have a specific value for one categorical variable and a specific value for another categorical variable. Percent’s in the middle of the table (not on the outsides) out of the whole.

New cards
8

What is Conditional Relative Frequency?

Gives the percent/proportion of individuals that have a specific value for one categorical variable among individuals who share the same value of another categorical variable. Percent’s down a column/row

New cards
9

What is a Side-by-side Bar Graph?

Displays the distribution of two categorical variables. The bars are grouped together based on the values of one of the categorical variables and placed side by side. Just a split up segmented bar graph.

New cards
10

What is a segmented Bar Graph?

Displays the distribution of a categorical variable as segments of a rectangle, with the area of each segment proportional to the percent of individuals the corresponding category.

New cards
11

When comparing groups of different sizes, be sure to use ________ when analyzing categorical data.

relative frequencies (percentages)

New cards
12

What does association mean?

There is an association between two variables if knowing the value of one variables helps predict the value of another variable. If this is not the case, then there is no association between two variables.

New cards
13

Remember that all tables and graphs MUST have…

LABELS, KEYS, maybe titles.

New cards
14

What is a variable?

An attribute that can take different values for different individuals.

New cards
15

What is a categorical variable?

Assigns labels that place each individuals into a particular group.

New cards
16

What is a quantitative variable?

Takes number values that are quantities-counts or measurements.

New cards
17

What is distribution?

Tells us what values the variable takes and how often it takes those values.

EX: The distribution of the amount of carpets and the amount of cats someone has is roughly symmetric with a mean of 20 and a standard deviation of 3. The distribution varies from 10-50 with 1 unusual outlier at the 50 mark.

New cards
18

What is a discrete variable?

A quantitative variable that takes a fixed set of possible values without gaps between them. (EX: result of a rolling dice)

New cards
19

What is a continuous variable?

A quantitative variable that can take any value in an interval on the number line. (EX: Age, height, weight).

New cards
20

What is a dotplot?

Shows each data value as a dot above its location on a number line.

New cards
21

When describing a distribution what do key points do you say?

Shape: ROUGHLY/SLIGHTY Symmetric, skewed right/left, PEAKS (Bimodal, Unimodal, Multimodal)
Center: What is the middle of the distribution?
Variability: Goes from what to what? EX: Range is 80 units/varies from 110-190
Outliers: Are there any unusual features (suspected outlier)?

New cards
22

A histogram displays the distribution of a _______

quantitative variable.

New cards
23

What does Resistance mean?

A statistical measure is resistant if it is not sensitive to extreme values. The measure resists extreme values.

New cards
24

What is used for skewed distributions? Symmetric?

Mean is used for symmetric while median is used for skewed.

New cards
25

Standard deviation is used to measure variability about the _

mean

New cards
26

When finding the center of a skewed-right/left distribution you should always use…

median

New cards
27

In a skewed right distribution ____ and ____ go together

In a symmetric distribution ____ and __ go together

Median and IQR

Mean and Standard Deviation
