The document discusses organizing and presenting data through descriptive statistics. It covers types of data, constructing frequency distribution tables, calculating relative frequencies and percentages, and using graphical methods like bar graphs, pie charts, histograms and polygons to summarize categorical and quantitative data. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to organize data into frequency distributions and calculate relative frequencies to graph the results.
10. Nominal Data (Frequency) 2. Bar Charts are often used to display frequencies… Is there a better way to order these? Would Bar Chart look different if we plotted “relative frequency” rather than “frequency”?
14. Example 2.2 Construct a frequency distribution table for these data. Some what None Somewhat Very Very None Very Somewhat Somewhat Very Somewhat Somewhat Very Somewhat None Very None Somewhat Somewhat Very Somewhat Somewhat Very None Somewhat Very very somewhat None Somewhat
