9. Steps in constructing:Divide each measurement into two parts: stem and leaf List the stem in column, with a vertical line to the right. For each measurement, record the leaf portion in the same row as its corresponding stem. Order the leaves from lowest to highest in each stem.
10. Example Daily sales of desktop computers of JRC Computer Company for 40 days.
12. Frequency Distribution Steps in Constructing a Frequency Distribution Table Determine the number of classes by using Sturges’ Formula: K = 1 + 3.322 log n = approximate number of classes n = number of observations 2. Determine the approximate class size. Whenever possible, all classes should be of the same size. The following steps can be used to determine the class size: * Solve for the range, R = max- min *Compute for C’ = R / K *Round-off C’ to a convenient number(nearest whole number)
13. Frequency Distribution Steps in Constructing a Frequency Distribution Table 3. Determine the lowest class limit. The first class must include the smallest value in the data set. Determine all class limits by adding the class size , C, to the limit of the previous class. Tally the frequencies for each class. Sum the frequencies and check against the total number of observations.
16. Graphical Representation of a Frequency Distribution Frequency Histogram – a bar graph that displays the classes on the horizontal axis and frequencies of the classes on the vertical axis; the vertical lines of the bars are erected at the class boundaries and the height of the bars correspond to the class frequency. Relative Frequency Histogram – a graph that displays the classes on the horizontal axis and the relative frequencies on the vertical axis.
17. Graphical Representation of a Frequency Distribution 3. Frequency Polygon – a line chart that is constructed by plotting the frequencies at the class marks and connecting the plotted points by means of straight lines; the polygon is closed by considering an additional class at each end and the ends of the lines are brought down to the horizontal axis at the midpoints of the additional classes. Ogives – graphs of the cumulative frequency distribution. < ogive – the <CF is plotted against the UCB > ogive – the >CF is plotted against the LCB
