Organisation of Data

This document discusses different methods of organizing and classifying data, including quantitative classification, chronological/temporal classification, and geographical classification. It defines key terms related to organizing data into classes for frequency distributions, such as class, class limits, class interval, range, mid-point, frequency, and class frequency. Specific examples are provided to illustrate these statistical concepts for constructing frequency distributions that group data into classes.

Data organisation/Classification

Refers to the process of arranging data into


sequences and groups according to their common
characteristics, or separating them into different but
related parts.

INDIVIDUAL
INDIVIDUAL SERIES
items are listed singly
BASIC TERMS RELATED TO A CLASS
CLASS
Group of numbers in which items are placed such as 0-10,
10-20,20-30 etc

CLASS LIMITS
The lowest and highest values of the variables within a
class is called class limit.
for eg., if
class is 0-10, then the lower limit will be ‘0’
CLASS – INTERVAL (Magnitude, Size, Length)
The difference between the lower limit and the
upper limit is known as the class interval.

RANGE
of a frequency distribution can be expressed as the
difference between the upper limit of the last class
interval and the lower limit of the first class interval
for eg., if classes are 0-10, 10-20.... 70-80
RANGE will be (80-0) = 80
MID-POINT/MID-VALUE
Is the central point of the class-interval
In a class of 10-20,
mid-point = 10+20/2 = 15

FREQUENCY
Number of items (observations) falling within a
particular class, if a class 0-20 has 10 students, then
10 will be the frequency
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
Table which shows how the different values of a
variable are distributed in different classes along
with their class frequency

CLASS FREQUENCY
The number of observations corresponding to the
particular class
Identify class , class limit, class-interval,
range, mid-point, frequency, class
