This document defines statistical terms used to describe grouped data. It defines terms like frequency distribution table, frequency, class, class mark, and relative frequency. It also provides formulas to calculate measures of central tendency like mean, measures of dispersion like range and standard deviation, and percentile ranks. The document is an overview of key concepts in descriptive statistics for grouped numerical data.

Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Definition of Terms 1. Frequency Distribution Table. A tabulation of data showing the number of times a score appears.
2. Frequency. The number of times a score or a group of scores (class) occurs in a population or sample.
3. Class. A group of scores in a population or sample.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Definition of Terms 4. Class Mark. Halfway between the upper limit and lower limit of a class (also called midpoint).
5. Class Boundary. Halfway between the lower limit of one class and the upper limit of the preceding class (the exact
limit). 6. Relative Frequency.
The frequency of one score or group of scores divided by the total frequency of all the observations.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Definition of Terms 7. Cumulative Frequency. The frequency of any class plus the frequencies of all preceding class in a distribution.
8. Graph. A pictorial representation of a set of data.
9. Histogram. A vertical bar graph that shows the frequencies of scores or classes of scores by the height of the bar.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Definition of Terms 10. Frequency Polygon. A graph on which the frequencies of classes are plotted at the class mark and the class marks are connected by straight lines.
11. Scatter Diagram.
The relationship between two variables is shown by a series of dots plotted on a graph.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Formulas: 1. Mean
= Where: f = M= N= A =
frequency score or class mark number of observations in the sample assumed mean
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Formulas: 3. Range. Difference between highest and lowest score.
4. Mean Deviation.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Formulas: 5. Variance
6. Standard Deviation. Square root of variance ()
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Formulas: 7. Percentile. Values that divide a set of observations into 100 equal parts. It is denoted by P1 , P2,., P99, such that 1% of the data falls below P1.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Formulas: 8. Decile. Values that divide a set of observations into 10 equal parts. It is denoted by D10 , D20,., D90, such that 20% of the data falls below D20.
Statistical Measures of Data (Grouped Data)
Formulas: 9. Quartile. Values that divide a set of observations into 4 equal parts. It is denoted by Q1, Q2, , Q3, such that 25% of the data falls below Q1.
