1.1 BASIC TERMINOLOGIES OF STATISTICS

Statistics is a discipline of study dealing with the collection, analysis,
interpretation and presentation of data. For example, we can study the
distribution of the heights and masses of students in a class.

1.1.1 Population
A population is any entire collection of people, animals, plants or things
from which we many collect data. It is the entire group we are interested
in, which we wish to describe or draw conclusions about. For example,
student of PSMZA.

1.1.2 Sample
A sample is a group of units selected from a larger group (the population).
By studying the sample it is hoped to draw valid conclusions about the
larger group. For example, student of Engineering Department.

1.1.3 Data/Variable
Data is a collection of information especially facts or numbers. For
example, x, y and z. There are four (4) types of data :-
a. Continuous Data
Data that is obtained by measuring. For example, mass, length,
height,. Continuous data can take any value, such as 5, 6.5,
2
1
,.
b. Discrete Data
Data that is obtained by counting, For example number of
students, pens, cars,.Discrete data consists of whole number,
such as 0, 1, 2, 3,....


3/62
c. Ungrouped Data
Data that is not grouped into classes. For example, 28, 29, 30, 31,
32, 34,....
d. Grouped Data
Data that is grouped into classes. For example, 25-29, 30-34, .....

1.2 PICTOGRAMS, LINE GRAPHS, BAR CHARTS AND PIE CHARTS

1.2.1 Pictograms
A pictogram uses pictures to represent data. It can be constructed
horizontally or vertically. For examples :

Number of students given scholarships
DKM 3A

SKM 4A

SKM 4B

SKM 4C

Represents 2 students
A horizontal pictogram

A vertical pictogram

1.2.2 Line graphs
Line graphs are usually used to represent changes in data over a period of
time. A suitable scale is important when drawing a line graph. For example :
The line graph shows the telephone bills of Miss Sarah from January to
July.

1.2.4 Pie charts
i. A pie chart is a representation of data using sectors of a circle. The
size each sector shows the percentage of the overall data it
represents. For example :

ii. To construct a pie chart, the angle for each sector must be
calculated by using the formula below :
a) Angle of sector = percentage of each category of data x 360
o

b) Angle of sector =

1.3 CLASS INTERVAL, LOWER LIMIT AND UPPER LIMIT,
LOWER BOUNDARY, UPPER BOUNDARY, SIZE OF A
CLASS INTERVAL AND CLASS MIDPOINT

1.3.1 Class Interval
Data that consist of the measurements of a quantity can be grouped into a
few classes and the range of each class. For example :
Notice that each class in the table below has a class interval with the
same range.
Age (years) 25 - 29 30 - 34 35 39 40 - 44

Practice 1.3a
Complete each of the following class intervals with the same range.

i.

ii.

1.3.2 Lower Limit and Upper Limit
For a class interval, for example 25 29, the smaller value (25) is known
as the lower limit while the larger value (29) is known as the upper limit.

1.3.3 Lower Boundary
Lower boundary of a certain class is the value that lies at the centre
between the lower limit of the class and the upper limit of the class before
it.
+4 +4 +4 +4
Based on the given class interval, the range is 29 25 = 4
Length (cm) 4 5

Mass (kg) 50 54


12/62
Example :
Age (years) 25 - 29 30 - 34 35 39 40 - 44

Lower boundary of the class 30 34
=
( ) ( )
2
34 - 30 class the of limit Lower it before class the of limit Upper +

=
2
30 29 +
= 29.5

1.3.4 Upper Boundary
Upper boundary of a certain class is the value that lies at the centre
between the upper limit of the class and the lower limit of the class after it.
For example :
Age (years) 25 - 29 30 - 34 35 39 40 - 44

Upper boundary of the class 30 34
=
( ) ( )
2
it after class the of limit Lower 34 - 30 class the of limit Upper +

=
2
35 34+
= 34.5

1.3.5 Size of a Class Interval
The size of a class interval is the difference between the upper boundary
and the lower boundary of the class. There are three (3) methods to find
the size of a class interval :-

i. Method 1
Size of a class interval = Upper boundary Lower boundary


13/62
Example :
Mass (kg) Lower
boundary
Upper
boundary
Size of class
interval
1.0 1.3 0.95 1.35 1.35 0.95 = 0.4
1.4 1.7

ii. Method 2
Size of a class interval
= Upper limit Lower limit + (lower limit of class after upper limit of
the selected class)

Example :
Mass (kg) Lower limit Upper limit Size of class interval
1.0 1.3 1.0 1.3 1.3 1.0 + (1.41.3)
= 0.4
1.4 1.7

Method 1 and 2 are suitable for grouped data.

iii. Method 3 (ungrouped data)
Size of a class interval =
K
Range

where,
Range = Largest value of data Smallest value of data.
K = 1 + 3.3 log n ,n is number of data.


14/62
Example :
12 23 45 50 50 55 56 60 66 66
66 70 70 70 75 75 75 75 75 75
80 80 82 87 89 90 90 95 97 98

Smallest value of data = 12
Largest value of data = 98
Range = Largest value of data Smallest value of data = 98 12 = 85
Number of data, n = 30
K = 1 + 3.3 log n = 1 + 3.3 log 30 = 5.87 = 6
Size of a class interval =

1.4 FREQUENCY TABLE
A frequency table is a table that shows the frequency of each class
interval.

1.4.1 Frequency
The number of times a certain number or event occurs. It can be found by
counting or using a tally chart. For example, 2, 5, 3, 2, 4, 6, 3, 2, 6, 2, 2.
In the data given above, the frequency of each of the numbers is as
follows.
Number Tally Frequency
2 llll 5
3 ll 2

56 65 61 75 69 62 73 74 68 64 57 76
Construct a frequency table for the above set of data such that size of each class
interval is 5, beginning from the first class of 50 54.

Solution :

1.4.2 Modal Class
The modal class of grouped data is the class interval in the frequency
table with the highest frequency.

1.5 FREQUENCY TABLE IN THE GRAPHICAL FORM
Present frequency table in the graphical form such as histograms,
frequency polygons and ogive.

1.5.1 Histograms
A histogram is a graphical presentation of a frequency distribution. A
histogram with class intervals of equal size represents the frequency of
each class interval by rectangles of equal breadth and the height of each
rectangle is proportional to the frequency.

1.5.1a Drawing Histograms
i. The horizontal axis of a histogram can be labeled with :
a) Class boundaries (Lower boundary or Upper boundary)
b) Class intervals
c) Class midpoints
ii. The vertical axis represents the frequency of each class.

For example :
The table below shows the study times (in hours) of 40 students in a
week.
Time (hours) Number of students
10 14 6
15 19 8
20 24 12
25 29 8
30 34 5
35 39 1


20/62
Solution :

Step 1
Find the lower boundary and upper boundary of each class interval
as shown in the below table.
Time (hours) Number of students
Lower
boundary
Upper
boundary
10 14 6 9.5 14.5
15 19 8 14.5 19.5
20 24 12 19.5 24.5
25 29 8 24.5 29.5
30 34 5 29.5 34.5
35 39 1 34.5 39.5

Step 2
Choose a suitable scale for the horizontal axis and the vertical axis
such that the data can be easily plotted on a graph and the
histogram is large enough.
The horizontal axis represents the lower boundary and the vertical
axis represents the frequency of each class.

Step 3
Draw rectangles to represent each class interval such that its
breadth is equal to the size of each class interval and its height
represents the frequency of each class interval.

1.5.1b Interpreting Histograms
The following information can be interpreted from a histogram :
a) The most common class of data, i.e. the modal class.
b) The total number of data studied or collected (sum of
frequencies).
c) The frequency of each class.
d) The number of data (or percentage of data) that is more or
less than a certain value of the class boundary.
e) The value of the mean of grouped data.
f) The value of the mode.

1.5.2 Frequency Polygons
Apart from histograms, frequency tables of grouped data can also be
illustrated in the form of a frequency polygon.

1.5.2a Drawing Frequency Polygons
i. A frequency polygon is a graph that connects the midpoints of each
class interval at the top end of each rectangle in a histogram where
the breadth of all rectangles are the same.
ii. A frequency polygon usually ends by adding a class with the
frequency 0 before the first class and after the last class.
iii. A frequency polygon can be drawn from a :
a) Histogram
b) Frequency table

For example :
Draw a frequency polygon from each of the following histogram.

1.5.3 Ogive
An ogive is a cumulative frequency graph.

1.5.3a Cumulative frequency
The cumulative frequency of a value of data or a class interval in a
frequency table is the sum of the frequencies of all the values of
data or class intervals up to (and including) that value of data or
class interval.


26/62
1.5.3b Cumulative frequency tables
To construct a cumulative frequency table for ungrouped data or
grouped data, the cumulative frequency of each value of data or
class interval is determined by adding the frequency of that value or
class interval to the sum of frequencies of all the values of data or
class intervals before it.

For example :
Construct a cumulative frequency table for the following frequency
tables.
a) Frequency table of ungrouped data
Number of cars Frequency Cumulative frequency

1.7 MEASURES OF DISPERSION
The measures of dispersion provide us with quantitative measures which
demonstrate the patterns of spread of a set of data. These measures
include range, percentile range, decile range, interquartile range, variance
and standard deviation.

1.7.1 Percentile Range
The percent of the population which lies below that value. The data must
be ranked to find percentiles.

1.7.2 Decile Range
Either the 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, or 90th percentiles.

have values less than or equal to
it.
Third quartile (Q
3
) is the value of
data such that
4
3
of the set of data
have values less than or equal to
it.

Interquartile range
= Third quartile - First quartile

From the ogive :
First quartile (Q

The size of the class 40 49 = 49.5 39.5 = 10
Assuming the 11 values of the class 40 49 are distributed evenly within the

1.7.4 Variance and Standard Variation

1.7.4a Variance
A statistical measurement which measures how much the values
in a set of data vary from the mean. A higher value of variance
indicates a greater dispersion of the values of the data from the
mean.

1.7.4b Standard variation
Another statistical measurement which measures how much the
values in a set of data are scattered around the mean. It is
defined as the positive square root of the variance.
