What are quantitative variables? | Variables with numerical observations E.g. Size, Height, Weight |
What are qualitative variables? | Variables with non-numerical observations E.g. Colour, Name of an object |
What is a continuous variable? | Variable that can take any value in a given range E.g. Time, Height, Weight, Length |
What is a discrete variable? | Variable that can only take specific values in a given range E.g. Number of objects |
Frequency Table | Cumulative Frequency = Running total of frequencies |
Group Frequency Table | |
Work out: classes, class boundaries, mid-point of a class, class width | -Classes = 30-40 -Class Boundaries = 30, 40 Mid-point = 1/2 (30+40) = 35 Class width = 40-30 = 10 |
Mode | Value that occurs most often |
Median | Middle value when data is put in order FORMULA = n/2 -If it isn't a whole number; round the number up |
Mean | Sum of all observations / Total no. of observations |
Formula for combining means | Set A = Size n1, Mean X1 Set B = Size n2, Mean X2 |
How is the median and mean affected by extreme values? | -Median = NOT AFFECTED -Mean = AFFECTED because all values are used and it gives a true measure of data |
Mean (Frequency Table) | x is the Mid-point in grouped frequency tables |
Working out median using Interpolation | |
Coding | y = (x-a)/b -To find mean of original data; find the mean of coded, equate to coding used and solve |
