Intro Stats Lesson 2.1 A Objective: SSBAT construct a frequency distribution. Standards: S2.5B
A Limited Lunch At lunch, twelve of the children chose from the following types of sandwiches: peanut butter, jelly, peanut butter and jelly, marshmallow fluff, jelly and fluff, or peanut butter and fluff. Oliver does not like nuts and so chose to have just a jelly sandwich, as did Kenny. Kate had plain peanut butter on her sandwich and so did David because he doesn’t like jelly or marshmallow fluff. A sandwich with marshmallow fluff only was taken by Mariko, while Kristen chose one with marshmallow fluff and peanut butter. Sam and Stephanie wanted a sandwich with peanut butter and jelly as did Laura and Isabel and a jelly and fluff sandwich was chosen by both Ty and Brandon.
The same information as the paragraph is shown in the table – which is easier to understand?
Frequency Distribution • A table that shows Classes/Intervals of data entries with a count of the number of entries in each class. • Frequency (f) • The number of data entries in a class
Lower Class Limit The smallest number that can belong to a class Upper Class Limit The largest number that can belong to a class • Class Width • The difference between consecutive Lower (or upper) limits in a class
Examples: What are the Lower Class Limits? 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, 26
Examples: 2. What are the Upper Class Limits? 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30
Examples: What is the class width? 6 – 1 = 5
Range of the Data • The difference between the Highest number and the Lowest number in the Data set • Biggest # minus Smallest #
Construction a Frequency Distribution • Decide on the number of Classes to use • Should be between 5 and 20 • Find the class width Find the Class Limits Make a tally mark for each data entry in the row Count the tally marks to find the total frequency, f, for each class
Finding the class width • Determine the range of the data • Divide the range by the number of classes • 3. Round up to the next convenient number
Finding the Class Limits Use the smallest data entry as the Lower Limit of the 1st class. To find the other Lower Limits, Add the class width to the previous lower limit. Continue doing this until you have all the lower limits. Then find the Upper Limit of the first class, using the lower limits to guide you. Remember classes cannot overlap. Find the other upper limits in a similar manner.
