Descriptive Statistics Tabular Presentation of The Data: Applied Statistcis For Urban Planning Term I - Year 2011 - 2012

This document discusses descriptive statistics and tabular presentation of data. It introduces ungrouped and grouped frequency distributions as two methods for tabular representation of data. Ungrouped distributions show each individual data value, while grouped distributions organize data into class intervals to provide clearer summaries when datasets are large. Guidelines are provided for creating class intervals and calculating frequencies, percentages, and cumulative frequencies for grouped tabular representations.

Introduction to Descriptive Analysis Tabular representation


Ungrouped Frequency Distribution Grouped Frequency Distribution

Descriptive statistics
Descriptive statistics are a way of summarizing data or letting one number stand for a group of numbers. There are three ways we can summarize data:
Tabular representation of data Graphical representation of data Numerical representation of data

Tabular Representation of Data


we can summarize data by making a table of the data. In statistics we call these tables frequency distributions Two different types of frequency distributions.

Ungrouped or Simple frequency distribution ( frequency distribution). Grouped frequency distribution.

Tabular Representation of Data


1- Ungrouped frequency distribution
each value of the variable stands alone ( Nominal, Ordinal)

Suppose you have conduct a survey for land use for parcels and you have the values: 3, 2, 2, 3, 2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, 0, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 1 Where: 1: residential , 2: Residential/commercial 3: Services 4: Commercial 0: vacant A list like this does not provide a clear picture to the reader

Tabular Representation of Data


1- Ungrouped frequency distribution
3, 2, 2, represent 2, 2, 4, 3, 2, 0, 2, in summary Used to 3, 2, 4, 4, 1, the set of data 2, 1, 3, 3, 1 form This an ungrouped frequency distribution Where: 1: residential , 2: Residential/commercial because each value of the variable stands alone 3: Services, 4: Commercial , 0: vacant ( Nominal, Ordinal)

code 0 1 2 3 4

Landuse Tally Frequency %f Vacant 1 =1/20*100 = 5% Resedential 3 =3/20*100 = 15% Res/Com 8 40% Commercial 5 25% Services 3 15% N= 20 100%

Tabular Representation of Data


Ungrouped Frequency Distribution
Identify the different values in the data set. Create a column with the title of the variable we are using Create a tally column to keep track of the scores as you enter them into the frequency distribution

(Most printed frequency distributions do not retain the tally column in their final form)
Create a frequency column, with the frequency of each value, as show in the tally column, recorded. At the bottom of the frequency column record the total frequency for the distribution proceeded by N = Enter the name of the frequency distribution at the top of the table.

Tabular Representation of Data


1- Ungrouped frequency distribution

For ordinal data, arrange the values in Ascending order Cumulative frequency distribution is useful
Cumulative %f 5% 20% 60% 85% 100%

GRADE Excellent Very Good Good Moderate Fail

f % f Cumulative f 1 5% 1 3 15% 4 8 40% 12 5 25% 17 3 15% 20 N= 20 100%

Tabular Representation of Data


2- Grouped frequency distribution
If your data has more than 20 score values, you should create a grouped frequency distribution by grouping score values together into class intervals.

Example:

57 50 58 45 49 50 53 52 43 55

41 53 50.1 49 57 45 49 40 47 55

52 42 53 51 55 51 52 44 47 46

52 58 50 44 59 54 51 49 43 54

43 55 49 54 45 58 41 45 51 41

Tabular Representation of Data


2- Grouped frequency distribution Guidelines for Creating Class Intervals
Suggestion: The better number of classes is from 4 to 9 Find the lowest value in the data set [Min] Find the Highest value in the data set [Max] Find the range of the data set [Min] + Number = 41 = = 59 + ? (2) 20

[Max] [Range]

range = [Max] - [Min]

Assume number of classes where is a multiple to the range Suggestion: The class interval size should be 3 or 5 or a multiple of 5

Do not omit any class intervals

Classes 41 45 45 49 49 - 53 53 - 57 57 - 61 [Min] [Max] [Range] = = = 41 59 + ?+ 2 = 61 18 = 20

No classes = 5 Class Interval = 20/5 = 4
