MODULE 5 METHODS OF DATA REPRESENTATION Q key concepts: 51 52 53 (One of the most important aspects in any statistical investigation is the manner by which the researcher presents the data. Essentially, data can be presented in various modes such as textual, tabular and graphical displays. In the textual presentation, the data are presented in the form of texts, phrases or in paragraphs. This method is very common among newspaper reports depicting specifically the salient or important findings. Example: The following newspaper report presents a textual data presentation. The Philippine Stock Exchange composite index lost 7.19 points to 2,099.12 after trading between 2,095.30 and 2,108.47. Volume was 1.29 billion shares worth 903.15 million pesos(16.7 million dollars). The broader all-shares index gained 5.21 points to 1,221.34. From: Freeman dated March 17, 2005 The tabular display is a more reliable and effective way of showing relationships or comparisons data through the use of tables. In many cases, the tables are accompanied by a short narrative explanation to make the facts clearer and more understandable. Example: The following newspaper report presents a tabular data presentation Exchange rates released by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Country “Peso United States 50.7890 Japan 0.4140 United Kingdom 72.5267 Hongkong 6.5116 ‘Switzerland 28.7382 Canada 32.9756 Singapore 28.0680 Australia 26.5522 Bahrain 134.7260 Saudi Arabia 13,5434 Brunei 27.9875 Indonesia 0.0045 Thailand 1.1143 United Arab Emirates 13,8295 Germany 22.4727 France 6.7005 Source: Cebu Daily News dated May 24, 2001 2 . h the use of statisti fective way of presenting coal deplay ‘can easily attract the 5.4 The graphical display is the most OPE re contation, the graphic Rt ceeot creo graphs.

This graph is useful when the researcher wants to compare figures on two or more different occurrence. in constructing multiple bar graphs, a legend is especially helpful in guiding the viewer analyze the data Example: For the same data set, the multiple bar graph is shown below. 800 ro m 00 200 Fit ear SccondYear—Thid Year——Fourth Year (Year Level) ©) Pie Chart. This graph is used to present quantities that make up a whole. Usually, pie charts are constructed using percents and the slices of the pie are drawn in proportion to the different values of each class, item, group or category. The whole area of the pie is regarded as 100%. Example: For the same data set, the pie chart is shown below: d) Line Chart. The line chart is especially useful in showing trends over a period of time.

Example: The following final exam scores of 40 students are considered as raw data. 79 83 84 62 62 43 72 48 46 59 93 64 59 32 54 45 55 45 76 72 40 51 72 83 49 62 85 74 40 74 49 65 38 85 77 63 38 43 63 69 When these scores are arranged either in ascending or descending magnitude, then such an arrangement is called an array. It is usually helpful to put the raw data in an array because it is easy to identify the extreme values or the values where the scores most cluster. When these data are placed info a system wherein they are organized, then these partake the nature of grouped data. This procedure of organizing data into groups is called a frequency distribution table (FDT). Example: The following presents a frequency distribution table of the scores of fifteen Statistics students Scores Frequency () 10-19 5 20-29 4 30-39 3 40-39 2 50-59 4 5 The following are the basic components of a frequency distribution table. + Class Interval — these are the numbers defining the class ~ these consist of the end numbers called the class limits namely the upper limit and the lower limit Class Frequency (f ) - shows the number of observations falling in the class Class Boundaries - these are the so called “true class limits” classified as: - LOWER CLASS BOUNDARY (LCB) is defined as the middle value of the lower class limit of the class and the upper class limit of the preceding class - UPPER CLASS BOUNDARY (UCSB) is the middle value between the upper class limit of the class and the lower limit of the next class + Class sizé - the difference between two consecutive upper limits or two consecutive lower limits. (Classmark (CM) - midpoint or the middle value of a class interval Cumulative frequency — shows the accumulated frequencies of successive classes 2 65 - GREATER THAN CF (>CF) shows the number of observations greater than LCB - LESS THAN CF (CF f 5 9.5 995 145 5 16 4 19.5 29.5 24.5 9 10 3 25 395 345 12 6 2 39.5 49.5 445 14 3 1 49.5 59.5 54.5 15 4 Observe that this FDT has five class intervals. Specifically, the class interval 20-29 has frequency of 4. This means that there are 4 students whose scores are from 20 to 29. The. lower limit of this class is 20 and its upper limit is 29. Moreover, the LCB of this class is 19.5. This is obtained by taking the average of the lower limit of this class(20) and the upper limit of the preceding 20+19 39 =— =19.5. TaD ' Furthermore, the UCB of this class is 29.5. This is obtained by taking the average of the upper limit of this class(29) and the lower limit of the next/succeeding class(30), that is; uce = 2943059 = =29.5 2 Also, the classmark (CM ) is 24.5. This is obtained by taking the average of the lower limit (20) and the upper limit (29), that is; co = 2042949 2 2 class(19), that is; LC! Observe also that the < CF for this class interval is 9. This means that there are a total of 9 scores which are less than 29.5(meaning 29 down). Finally, the > CF for this class is 10. This means that there are a total of 10 scores which are greater than 19.5(meaning 20 up). Given a set of scores (raw data), how do we construct the FDT? Typically, there are no hard and fast rules as to how to construct an FDT. However, the following steps = ‘suggested. aa Step 1: Determine the number of classes. For frst approximation, itis ‘suggested to use the STURGES APPROXIMATION. FORMULA. K= 143,322 log n Where approximate number of classes n = number of cases Step 2: Determine the range R, where R = maximum value ~ minimum value Step 3: Determine the approximate class size C using the formula C = R//K. Its usually convenient to round off C to a nearest whole number, 28 Step 4: Step 5: Step 6: Example: Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Step: Determine the lowest class interval (or the first class). This class should _ include the minimum value in the data set. For uniformity, let us agree that for our Purposes, the lower limit of the lowest class interval should start at the minimum value. Detrmine all class limits by adding the class size C to the limits of the previous lass. Tally the scores / observations falling in each class. We now construct the FDT of the final exam scores of 40 students as shown in the raw data of Section 6.1 K =1+3322l0g n = 1+3.322 log(40) = 1+ 3.322 (1.60205) - Cc =RIK 61/6 10.167 C= 10 Let us decide to start at the minimum value. Thus, the lowest class is the class 32- 41, The classes are constructed by adding 10 to each class limit. Thus, we have: 320+ ae 4ae) = 51 5200 61 ea - m1 72), - 81 a 31 2 101 Determine now the frequency of each class by tallying the scores falling in each class.

Graphing the frequency distribution table is an effective device in presenting statistical data which therefore provides relationships on these data in pictorial form. 72 The histogram is a graph which is primarily composed of vertical bars that are interconnected making it an appropriate and a clear graph for continuous data. In a histogram, the base of each bar is the class boundary with its height equal to. its class frequency. Thus, a histogram is a continuous bar graph in which the class boundaries are plotted (on the horizontal axis) against the class frequencies (on the vertical axis). The following depicts the histogram of the frequency distribution table of the final exam scores of 40 students as illustrated in the previous example. 10 me aS "Sage BGunaal TE -3 The frequency polygon is a line chart which is constructed by plotting the class marks against 78 ee eat restoncies The graph is then oblained by connecing the consecutive pons using @ straight line. The polygon is closed by considering additional class marks at each end with a frequency of zero. Example: The following depicts the frequency polygon for data set on scores of 40 students. 33 74 The ogi re the graphs of cumulative frequency distributions. Since there are two types of cumulative Toqvencee (< CF and > CF), then there also two types of ogives namely the ogive. The ogive is the graph where the > CF’ is plotted against the LCB Example: For the same data set on scores of 40 students, the following figures respectively present the ogive. a) ogive 40 354 30 25 >CF 20 415 51515 1S BSS, Lower Class Boundary wu ave erie How do you call to the class boundary which is the intersection between the ogive when these are drawn in one graph? 34 q Score: Instructor: Schedule: MODULE 7 EXERCISE SET Bin crs kee ine te 1 Consider the following frequency distribution table. 7” Classes Frequency cm cb ucb tF 70-14 3 Mo9e-us 3 30 15-19 7 T We ae op 20-24 5 noe ae © 25-29 5 UD ac lee Be 30-34 8 Mime ir to 3539 2 Bogus 5° 30 8 Construct the: a)istogram j : ] is i 3 te ne rn onaree b) frequency polygon , wel Mc ee the ms Sei b: i: Py, g: ©) 0give Me Be me me one ar RR OASE Doumrmses (UCB) * . or”, Gee BGS ME OS HK wen cusps panigeses CLC) A test is given to a statement class of 50 students which resulted in the following scores. 63 50 47 45 4535 1 585 SS 74 8382554 48 5H BC soo 31 0 62385 TAA BK 7B 68 72 56 55 52 62 65 33 72 45 45 47 43 65 43 70 73 55 73 82 1.)

The aspect of data analysis commences in this unit in which the studentis expected to grasp _the understanding and the computational skills of these measures. In particular, after completing this unit, the student shall be able to: «calculate the mean, median and mode both for grouped and ungrouped data; «identify the uses and limitations of these measures; ‘= calculate the other measures of location. 37 mde = HR THE MEAN 8.1 The arithmetic mean or simply the mean of a data set is the sum of the values divided by the number of values. Thus, if X,, X, X,..Xy are the individual scores in a population of size NV, then the population mean 11 is defined as: =x N Example: The systolic blood pressure of 8 patients taking antihypertensive drugs recorded as: 90, 86, 70, 100, 110, 100, 75 and 83. If we treat the data as coming from a Population, then the population mean 41 is computed as: oD Xe Kit Ha tH tet ot Xe ty te = 8 _ 90+ 86+ 70+ 100 +100+110+ 75 +83 8 N 82 Ontheotherhand, if X,, X,, X, the sample mean X is defined as: Example: The cholesterol counts of a sample of 6 patients are recorded as follows: 122, 214, 175, 200, 198 and 211. Then the sample mean of this data set is computed as: y= 2% _ 12242144175 +200+198-+ 211 6 1120 6 = 186.67 _ Thus, the mean cholesterol count for the 6 sample patients is 186.67. 8.3 For grouped data or those which are placed in a frequency distribution table, the mean can be ‘approximated by the following formula: 38 ” F2UK yy. LK ae N where X = sample mean/ 41 = population mean JS = frequency of a class X = classmark of a class n = sample size/ N = population size Observe that the mean of a frequency distribution table is simply a weighted mean of the class marks where the frequencies partake the nature of the weights. Example: Consider the following FDT of the urine amylase of 15 patients. Classes | Frequency | 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 arena In approximating the mean, we need to construct the classmark X column and a column for AX . Thus, we have: Classes f x 70-19 5 145 20-29 4 245 30-39 3 345 40-49 2 445, 50-59 1 545 Hence, ¥ = LA. 475 77493 ments i lies only to interval or 8. mean is the most widely used measure of central tendency which appli “ino dats le very sensitive to extreme values and is easily affected by the value of every observation. ah Explore a).

Observe that we entered the 8 scores starting at cell B2 up to B9. Then using any unoccupied cell (B10), key in =AVERAGE(B2:B9) to compute the mean score of the 8 students. This gives us 16.5 as the mean score as shown in Figure 8-1 u Approximate the mean given the following frequency distribution table. 7a) Classes 60-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85-89 90-94 95-99 SS x oe o ” ” $1 $1 L Neanos ‘los + 28) sone b) Classes 10-19 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 aaoromals 2 MODULE 9 THE MEDIAN 9.1 The median denoted by Ma’, is the middle most value when the observations are arranged either in ascending or descending order. Example: Consider the following values which represent the creatinine phosphokinase level of 11 sample male patients (measured in unitsilter) 480 32 72, 131. 28 ye he et Putting the scores in an array, we have: 25, 28, 31, 32, 38, 12, 43, 45, 72, 84 - Observe that the middle most value in the array is 38, Hence, Md = 38. 9.2 Ifa data set has an even number of observations, then the medi two middle most values. is the average (mean) of the Example: Suppose we have the data on the number of OPD patients from Day 1 to Day 6. Day No. of Patients 7800 2400 5300 4500 2600 1000 onaena Putting the sales in an array, we have: 1000, 1800, 2400, 2600, 4500, 5300 Now notice that the two middle most values are 2400 and 2600, Hence, the median is Md = 2m 26 2500 93 For grouped data, the median can be approximated by the formula: medion clare ‘¢ 2 100 ~ “io” 100 * 7 Thus, the P.." class is the class where the < CF is greater than or equal to 25 for the first time. In the table, this is the class 135 - 139. Hence, LCBp,=1345, pop since 4 comple thandord.

Let us now tum to another counting technique, in which, unlike that of a permutation, the order does not matter. Consider a set S which consists of 17 elements. A combination of these n elements taken r at a time, or r-combination, denoted by C(x,r) or ( ) is defined as any r subset of S consisting of r elements. In other words, an r- combination of S is an unordered selection of r elements of Example: Let S =(1,2,3,4). Then the combinations of S taken 3 at a time are obtained by taking any subset of S consisting of 3 elements such as: {1,2,3}, (1.2.4), (1.3.4), and (23.4). Observe that the subsets; {1,3,2}, {2,1,3}, {3.1.2}, {3.2.1} and {2,3,1} are all sintifar to the subset {1,2,3). ‘Similarly, the following are the combinations of S taken 2 at a time. {1.2}, {1,3}, (1.4), {2,3}, {2,4}, and (3,4) 4 4 Using our notation, observed that C (4,3) = () = 4and cu2r(3) 6 17.2.

Two balls are drawn one after the othe, Example: Matis the probability thatthe first balls black and second ball is red? Solution: Let B = event that the first ball is black R = event that the second ball is red We want to find P(B > R) Now, on the first draw, there is 1 black ball out of 3 balls. Hence, P(B) = 1/3. Since oer was drawn, then only 2 red balls remain, and so P(R| B)=2/2=1. Thus using the Multiplication Theorem, P(BOR) = P(B)* P(R| B) = (13) 1) 3. 20.3 The following example illustrates the multiplication theorem using a tree diagram. Example: We are given three boxes as follows: Box | has 10 light bulbs of which 4 are defective. Box |! has 6 light bulbs of which 1 is defective. Box III has 8 light bulbs of which 3 are defective. We select a box at random and then draw a bulb at random. What is the probability that the bulb is defective? Solution: Here, we perform a sequence of two experiments: (1) select one of the three boxes (2) select a bulb which either defective (0) , or non-defective (N) The following tree diagram describes these processes and gives the probability of each branch of the tree. Using the Multiplication Theorem, the probability of choosing a detective bulb is: r(9f8}10}-08) P=0.3139 6 A i ~xample: A coin, weighted, so that P(H) = 2/3, P(T) = 1/3, is tossed.

For instance, flipping a coin times results in two outcomes where each trial may result in a head or a tail. We may call the cocurrence of a head a success and the occurrence ots tall,a tates 21.2 Experiments of this type are called binomial experiments. More formally, a binomial experiment is one that possesses the following characteristice a. The experiment consists of 1 repeated trials. ». Each trial results in two outcomes, which may be classified as a success or a failure. ¢. The probability of a success, which we denote by P remains constant from trial to trial, 4d. The repeated trials are independent. 21.3 If a binomial trial can result in a success with probability p and a failure with pesbaity q=1—p, then the probability of exactly k successes in n repeated trials, denoted by b(k;1, p) is defined as: (ks, p) = (hte om (ne : 6 times and call heads a success. Then n = 6 because there are ea aa ee aera of getting a head in each toss which is equal to 1/2 and so q=1—p =1-1/2 = 1/2. a) The probability that exactly two heads occur (= 2) is (2:6, 112)= (;Joar (112) 6? = cay?

If 15 people are contracted with flu, what is the probability that exactly 5 persons will survive? Solution: Here we have n= 15, k =5, p =O4and g=1-0.4 =06 Then the probability that 5 out of 15 people will survive is computed as (5; 15, 0.4) = (3) (0.4)° (0.6)"** 15! =~ (0.4) 0.6)” 5110104) 9) = (3003) (0.01024) (0.006046617) = 0.1859 21.4 Ina binomial distribution consisting of trials and success probability p , the mean v= np and the standard deviation o = /npq .
