Population Frequency

Population Frequency histogram: we input all homerun data of all 1340 players and calculated the
e results. Mean, etc., are listed in table below, as is five number summary.









Population boxplot for home run frequency using data from baseball set on weebly website.





Simple random sample home run frequency histogram above with five number summary. We got a random
sample of 36 numbers between 1 and 1340 from the random.org website, then input those numbers from the baseball
data set data to calculate results.






Our Random sample Five number summary is above and Boxplot is below. We got a random sample of 36 numbers
between 1 and 1340 from the random.org website, then input data to calculate results.


Systematic Samples (should say systematic instead of stratified in graph below.)

Below is the five number summary in the top left corner of page. Below this is boxplot.








Title below should say Systematic sample not stratified as we did a systematic sample. I just tyeped it
in wrong and couldnt get back in program to change it. We used every 37
th
person from the data set
beginning with #2, then taking every 37
th
person through last #1340.









Systematic histogram

We took every 37
th
player listing their positions and home run frequency then calculated results
b below for histogram.










Histogram comparisons:
Simple Random / Population: Both have the majority of the actual total data in the first category/bar
and are skewed to the right. The population data gradually slopes from high to low, but the
simple random data begins high and quickly drops and has gap in between. Its similar to a zig-
zag line that goes up and down, not just a steady flow down and to the right.
Systematic / Population: The systematic histogram graph shows it is closer to the population data than
the simple random set. It peaks on the left and also skews to the right as the simple random
sample, but shows larger amount of data distribution on the left than the random sample and is a
truer skew to the right. Like the simple random data though, it zig-zags; whereas the population
sample histogram is a true skew to the right.
Boxplot comparisons:
Simple Random/ Populations: These both look very similar. The majority of data is between the
same data points, and both appear the same as far as width goes on the total scale. The data
results are similar and it appears the only difference is the random is a little taller.
Systematic / Population: This more clearly contrasts the difference between the two sets of data. As
the random data boxplot is nearly identical to the population boxplot, the systematic boxplot is
wider and taller and the total span of numbers as a whole appear to be lower.
