Definitions [9]
Frequency:
The number of times a particular observation occurs.
Frequency Distribution:
A tabular arrangement of data showing the frequency of each observation or class.
The difference between the highest and lowest observations.
Range = Highest value − Lowest value
-
Inclusive form: Both lower and upper limits are included in the class.
(Example: 1–10, 11–20) -
Exclusive form: Lower limit is included, but upper limit is excluded.
(Example: 0–10, 10–20)
Statistics is the area of study dealing with the collection, presentation, and analysis of data as well as drawing meaningful conclusions from the data.
A collection of given facts or figures, usually expressed in numerical form.
Each group into which raw data is divided is called a class interval.
The two values that bound a class interval.
-
Lower limit: Smallest value of the class
-
Upper limit: Largest value of the class
Probability measures the degree of certainty of the occurrence of an event.
A sequence, in which each of its terms can be obtained by multiplying or dividing its preceding term by a fixed quantity, is called a geometric progression.
- A fixed number is called the common ratio (r)
Formulae [2]
\[\text{Adjustment Factor}=\frac{1}{2}\text{(Lower limit of next class - Upper limit of previous class)}\]
\[\text{Frequency density}=\frac{\mathrm{Frequency}}{\text{Class width}}\]
