STATISTICS
- Is a branch of science, which deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and
interpretation of quantitative data.
Branches of Statistics
Descriptive Statistics is a method concerned with collecting, describing and
analysing a set of data without drawing conclusions (or inferences) about a large
group.

Inferential Statistics concerned with the analysis of a subset of data leading to

predictions or inferences about the entire set of data.

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
- Frequency distribution is a tabular arrangement of data into appropriate categories showing
the number of observations in each category or group.
Two major advantages:
1. It encompasses the size of the table
2. It makes the data more interpretive
Parts of Frequency table
1. Class Limit is the groupings defined by the lower and upper limits
2. Class size (c.i) is the width of each class interval
 3. Class boundaries are the numbers used to separate each category in the
frequency distribution but without gaps created by the class limits.
4. Class marks are the midpoint of the lower and upper class limits.
Steps in Constructing Frequency Distribution
1. Compute the value of the Range. Determine the class size
2. Set up the class limits of each class or category. Each class defined by the
lower limit and upper limit.
3. Set up the class boundaries if needed.
4. Tally the scores in the appropriate classes.
5. Find the other parts if necessary such as class marks, among others.
Example
Raw scores of 40 students in a 50-item Mathematics quiz.

17 25 30 33 25 45 23 19

27 35 45 48 20 38 39 18

44 22 46 26 36 29 15 21

50 47 34 26 37 25 33 49

22 33 44 38 46 41 37 32

Graphical Representation of Scores in Frequency Distribution

Histogram consists of rectangles having bases on the horizontal axis which centers
at the class marks.

Frequency polygon is constructed by plotting the class marks against the class
frequencies.
