Classification of Measurement of Data
Data Collection Methods
1. Survey Method – questions are asked to obtain
information, either through self administered
questionnaire or personal interview.
➢ Census is a measurement of an entire population.
➢ Sampling is a measurement of part of a population.
2. Observation Method – makes possible the recording

of behavior but only at the time of occurrence (ex.
Traffic count, reactions to a particular stimulus)
Con’t
3. Experimental method – a method designed for
collecting data under controlled conditions. An
experiment is an operation where there is actual human
interference with the conditions that can affect the
variable under study.
4. Use of existing studies – that is census, health
statistics, weather reports.
5. Registration method – that is car registration, student
registration, hospital admission and ticket sales.
6. Simulation method - the use of a mathematical or
physical model to reproduce the conditions of a situation
or process.
Sampling Techniques
Sampling techniques is the procedure of gathering sampling units like people,
events, object, measurements, behavior, or other elements, from the population.
Probability Sampling methods utilize some form of random selection that

assures that the different elements in the target population have equal
probability or chance of being chosen
Simple Random Sampling
A simple random sampling (lottery or raffle sampling or fish bowl
method) is used to eliminate bias, to provide a statistical and basis for
determining the level of significance associated with the interferences; the
choice of sample size allows sampling errors to be controlled.
Stratified Samples
A stratified sample has members from each
segment of a population. This ensures that each
segment from the population is represented.
Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors

Stratified Sampling
Given the following data. Determine the share of each Stratum if the desired sample size n is
1500
Stratum Population % share Sample
30-44 1500
20-29 4500
10-19 9000
Stratified Sampling
A researcher wishes to conduct a survey among the student from the different departments. He
wishes to find out how many from each department is needed to represent the population.
Suppose, the distribution of the population is as follow
Department Number of Student
Business Administration 2,025
Management 1,725
Finance 955
Entrepreneurship 828
Culinary Arts 667
Total (N) 6,200

Cluster Samples
A cluster sample has all members from randomly
selected segments of a population. This is used
when the population falls into naturally occurring
subgroups.
All members in
each selected
group are used.
The city of Dasmarinas divided into city blocks.

Systematic Samples
A systematic sample is a sample in which each
member of the population is assigned a number. A
starting number is randomly selected and sample
members are selected at regular intervals.
Every fourth member is chosen.

Systematic Samples
A systematic sample is a sample in which each
member of the population is assigned a number. A
starting number is randomly selected and sample
members are selected at regular intervals.
Every fourth member is chosen.

Basic Formula
Example
In a population of 200 items in a production process, a margin of error of
5% is to be use, to get a sample size of 40. determine which of the
elements in the population are to be included in the sample
Perform a systematic sample of 80 companies from the 1,304 companies that are members of the
Manufacturer’s Association.
Multi-Stage Sampling
A multi-stage sampling uses several stages phases in getting random
samples from the general population; this is useful in conducting
nationwide survey or any survey involving a very large population.
Sampling Techniques
Non-probability sampling the selection of units is solely determined by rules or
guidelines set by the researcher/investor. It does not involved random sampling
Convenience Samples
A convenience sample consists only of available
members of the population.
Example:
You are doing a study to determine the number of years of education
each teacher at your college has. Identify the sampling technique
used if you select the samples listed.
1.) You randomly select two different departments and survey each
teacher in those departments.
2.) You select only the teachers you currently have this semester.
3.) You divide the teachers up according to their department and then
choose and survey some teachers in each department.
Quota sampling
A quota sampling like stratified sampling, it first identifies the strata and their
proportions as they are represented in the population, and then convenience or
judgement sampling is use to select the required number of subject from each
stratum’
Snowball Sampling
A snowball, (referral method), useful when population are inaccessible or hard to
find.
Judgement sampling
A judgement sample is a selection of documents that
is based on the opinion of the auditor, rather than a
statistical sampling technique that uses random
selections. The resulting selection may reflect the
biases of the person making the selection, and so
could yield unreliable results
Non-Probability Sampling
Identifying the Sampling Technique
Example continued:
You are doing a study to determine the number of years of education each
teacher at your college has. Identify the sampling technique used if you
select the samples listed.
1.) This is a cluster sample because each department is a naturally occurring

subdivision.
2.) This is a convenience sample because you are using the teachers that are
readily available to you.
3.) This is a stratified sample because the teachers are divided by department
and some from each department are randomly selected.
Sampling
Sampling is the act, process or technique of selecting
suitable sample, or a representative part of a
population for the purpose of determining parameters
or characteristics of the whole population.

Presentation of Data
Textual Presentation
• use of words, statement and paragraphs to present
data or information.
Example:
Graphical Presentation
• Is a method wherein the set of data is presented by
visual forms called graphs (pie graphs, bar graph or
histogram, line graph and other graphs).
• However limitations of graphs such as: graphs
require more skill and time to prepare; graphs can
only be made after data have been presented in
tabular forms: graphs are not as precise as tables.
●Tabular Presentation
Stem and Leaf method
Tabular Representation
• Tabular presentation is the use of tables, one which is the frequency
distribution table. After the data have been gathered, they have to be put
into a form that will make them easier to handle and to interpret.
Stem-and-Leaf Plot
In a stem-and-leaf plot, each number is separated into a stem (usually
the entry’s leftmost digits) and a leaf (usually the rightmost digit). This is an
example of exploratory data analysis.
Example:
The following data represents the ages of 30 students in a statistics
class. Display the data in a stem-and-leaf plot.

Tabular Representation
Frequency Distribution is defined as the
arrangement of the gathered data by categories plus
their corresponding frequencies and class marks or
midpoint.
➢ It has a class frequency containing the number of
observations belonging to a class interval.
➢ Its class interval contain a grouping defined by the
limits called the lower and the upper limit. Between
these limits are called class boundaries.
Frequency Distributions
A frequency distribution is a table that shows classes or
intervals of data with a count of the number in each class.
The frequency f of a class is the number of data points in the
class.

Definition:
1. Raw data – is the set of data in its
original form
2. Array – an arrangement of observations
according to their magnitude, whether in
increasing or decreasing order.
Advantages: easier to detect the smallest
and largest value and easy to find the
measures of position
Constructing a Ungrouped Frequency Distribution
Guidelines
1. Identify the highest and the lowest

(least) Data values in the given
observations.
2. Make a tally mark for each data entry in
the row of the appropriate class.
3. Count the tally marks to find the total
frequency f for each class.

Relative frequency
Relative frequency is a tabular arrangement of

data showing the proportion of each frequency
to the total frequency.
The relative frequency is computed as followed:

Cumulative frequency
Cumulative Frequency is the sum of each score

equal the sum of its frequency and the
frequencies of all the score below it.
Example Cumulative frequency
Suppose that a class of 20 student receive the following score on a
quiz of 35 points construct a frequency distribution table

Pie Chart
A pie chart is a circle that is divided into sectors that represent
categories. The area of each sector is proportional to the frequency of
each category.
Pie chart usually shows the component parts of a whole.
Sometimes you will see a segment of the drawing
separated from the rest of the pie in order to emphasize an
important piece of information.

BAR CHART
 A bar chart (aka bar graph, column chart) plots numeric
values for levels of a categorical feature as bars. Levels
are plotted on one chart axis, and values are plotted on
the other axis. Each categorical value claims one bar,
and the length of each bar corresponds to the bar’s
value. Bars are plotted on a common baseline to allow
for easy comparison of values.
 Show comparison of quantities by the use of darkened

rectangles (either horizontal or vertical): often used to
display categorical data where there is no emphasis n
the proportion of a total represented by each category

grouped Data
Constructing a Grouped Frequency Distribution
Guidelines
1. Decide on the number of classes to include. The number of
classes should be between 5 and 20; otherwise, it may be
difficult to detect any patterns.
2. Find the class width as follows. Determine the range of the
data, divide the range by the number of classes, and round up
to the next convenient number.
3. Find the class limits. You can use the minimum entry as the
lower limit of the first class. To find the remaining lower limits,
add the class width to the lower limit of the preceding class.
Then find the upper class limits.
4. Make a tally mark for each data entry in the row of the
appropriate class.
5. Count the tally marks to find the total frequency f for each
class.

Example continued:
3. The minimum data entry of 18 may be used for the lower
limit of the first class. To find the lower class limits of the
remaining classes, add the width (8) to each lower limit.
The lower class limits are 18, 26, 34, 42, and 50.
The upper class limits are 25, 33, 41, 49, and 57.
4. Make a tally mark for each data entry in the appropriate

class.
5. The number of tally marks for a class is the frequency for

that class.

Frequency Histogram
A frequency histogram is a bar graph that represents the

frequency distribution of a data set.
1. The horizontal scale is quantitative and measures the data
values.
2. The vertical scale measures the frequencies of the classes.
3. Consecutive bars must touch.
Class boundaries are the numbers that separate the classes without
forming gaps between them.
The horizontal scale of a histogram can be marked with either the class
boundaries or the midpoints.

Scatter Plot
When each entry in one data set corresponds to an entry in
another data set, the sets are called paired data sets.
In a scatter plot, the ordered pairs are graphed as points in

a coordinate plane. The scatter plot is used to show the
relationship between two quantitative variables.
The following scatter plot represents the relationship between

the number of absences from a class during the semester
and the final grade.

Scatter Plot

From the scatter plot, you can see that as the number of absences
increases, the final grade tends to decrease.
Times Series Chart
A data set that is composed of quantitative data entries taken at regular
intervals over a period of time is a time series. A time series chart is
used to graph a time series.
Example:
The following table lists the Month Minutes
number of minutes Robert used
on his cell phone for the last six January 236
months. February 242
March 188
April 175
Construct a time series chart May 199
for the number of minutes June 135
used.

Data
Given the following raw scores in Calculus
Examination,
47 56 42285641565559
78 50 55573862526665
79 33 34374742686254

Con’t
1. Compute the range: R = H – L and the number
of classes by K = 1 + 3.322log n where n =
number of observations.
2. Divide the range by 10 to 15 to determine the
acceptable size of the interval. Hint: most
frequency distribution have odd numbers as
the size of the interval. The advantage is that
the midpoints of the intervals will be whole
number.
3. Organize the class interval. See to it that the
lowest interval begins with a number that is
multiple of the interval size.
Con’t
4. Tally each score to the category of class interval
it belongs to.
5. Count the tally columns and summarizes it
under column (f). Then add the frequency which
is the total number of the cases (N).
6. Determine the class boundaries. UCB and LCB.
(upper and lower class boundary)
7. Compute the midpoint for each class interval
and put it in the column (M).
M = (LS + HS) / 2

Con’t
8. Compute the cumulative distribution for less
than and greater than and put them in column
cf< and cf>. (you can now interpret the data). cf
= cumulative frequency
9. Compute the relative frequency distribution.
This can be obtained by
RF% = CF/TF x 100%
CF = CLASS FREQUENCY
TF = TOTAL FREQUENCY

Graphical Representation
The data can be graphically
presented according to
their scale or level of
measurements.
1. Pie chart or circle
graph. The pie chart at
the right is the enrollment
from elementary to
master’s degree of a
certain university. The
total population is 4350
students

Con’t
2. Histogram or bar graph- this graphical
representation can be used in nominal,
ordinal or interval. For nominal bar graph,
the bars are far apart rather than
connected since the categories are not
continuous. For ordinal and interval data,
the bars should be joined to emphasize
the degree of differences

Given the bar graph of how students rate their
library.
A-strongly favorable, 90
B-favorable, 48
C-slightly favorable, 88
D-slightly unfavorable,
48
E-unfavorable, 15
F-strongly unfavorable,

Exercises
From the previous grouped data on Calculus scores,
a. Draw its histogram using the frequency in the y
axis and midpoints in the x axis.
b. Draw the line graph or frequency polygon using
frequency in the y axis and midpoints in the x axis.
c. Draw the less than and greater than ogives of the
data. Ogives is a cumulation of frequencies by
class intervals. Let the y axis be the CF> and x
axis be LCB while y axis be CF< and x axis be
UCB
d. d. Plot the relative frequency using the y axis as
the relative frequency in percent value while in the
x axis the midpoints.
