Data is organised and visualized so as to

reveal, glean insight from and communicate

the information,

especially the main features and patterns,

that are hidden within it.

First step: find the “story” in the data

Last step: communicate the “story”, well

A summary table indicates the frequency, amount, percentage or proportion of items in each of a set of categories

This allows you to see: the relative frequency of each category the differences between the categories

A Survey of 1000 Bank Customers:

Should the bank stop telephone banking?

BUSS1020 10

FIDELITY INVESTMENTS

Once considered stopping its bill-paying service for customers

The service was losing money and used by very few customers

However, an analysis of their customer database showed that those using this service were among the most loyal and the most profitable customers.

Fidelity retained the service, so as not to lose those customers who contributed enormously to their profit margin.

An ordered array is a sequence of data, in rank order, from the smallest to the largest value.

Shows range: i.e. minimum to maximum value

May help identify “outliers”

BUSS1020 51

Chap 2 pg 45

ORGANIZING NUMERICAL DATA: FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONA frequency distribution is a summary table: data are arranged into numerically ordered classes.

An appropriate number of class groupings, a suitable width of a class grouping, and the boundaries of each class grouping need to be chosen.

The number of class groups depends on the number of values in the data. In general, a frequency distribution should have at least 5 but no more than 15 classes.

To determine the width of a class interval, you divide the range (Highest value–Lowest value) of the data by the number of class groupings desired.

BUSS1020 52

ORGANIZING NUMERICAL DATA: FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION EXAMPLEExample: The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) measures the rainfall (in mm.) in July 2013 for 20 Sydney suburbs:

24, 35, 17, 21, 24, 37, 26, 46, 58, 30, 32, 13, 12, 38, 41, 43, 44, 27, 53, 27

Find range: 58 - 12 = 46

Select number of classes: 5

Compute class interval (width): 10 (46/5 then round up)

Determine class boundaries (limits): Class 1: 10 - 20 Class 2: 20 - 30 Class 3: 30 - 40 Class 4: 40 - 50 Class 5: 50 - 60

Compute class midpoints: 15, 25, 35, 45, 55

BUSS1020 57

WHY USE A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION?Condenses raw data into a more useful form

Allows a quick visual interpretation of the data

Enables determination of the major characteristics of the data, including where the data are concentrated / clustered

BUSS1020 58

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS: SOME TIPSDifferent class boundaries may provide different pictures for the same data (especially for smaller data sets)

Shifts in data concentration may show up when different class boundaries are chosen

As the size of the data set increases, the impact of alterations in the selection of class boundaries is greatly reduced

When comparing two or more data sets with different sample sizes, you should use either a relative frequency or a percentage distribution

ORGANIZING NUMERICAL DATA: HISTOGRAMA histogram organizes data into groups (bins); bin size reflects the percentage of data points in each group.

Example:

The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) measures the rainfall (in mm.) in July 2011 for 20 Sydney suburbs:

24, 35, 17, 21, 24, 37, 26, 46, 58, 30, 32, 13, 12, 38, 41, 43, 44, 27, 53, 27

BUSS1020 64

VISUALIZING NUMERICAL DATA: THE HISTOGRAMA vertical bar chart of the data in a frequency distribution is called a histogram.

In a histogram there are no gaps between adjacent bars for continuous data. There may be gaps for discrete data.

The class boundaries (or class midpoints) are shown on the horizontal axis.

The vertical axis is either frequency, relative frequency, or percentage.

The height of the bars represent the frequency, relative frequency, or percentage when considering identical width bins (intervals, class width).

Chap 2-64

BUSS1020 65

VISUALIZING NUMERICAL DATA: THE POLYGONA percentage polygon is formed by having the midpoint of each class represent the data in that class and then connecting the sequence of midpoints at their respective class percentages.

The cumulative percentage polygon, or ogive, displays the variable of interest along the X axis, and the cumulative percentages along the Y axis.

Useful when there are two or more groups to compare.

Chap 2 pg 76PRINCIPLES OF GRAPHICAL EXCELLENCEEvery graph should:not distort the data (story). not contain too much “chart junk” or “noise”. have all axes properly and clearly labelled. contain an informative title. be the simplest possible that tells the story. contain the source of the data. objectively and clearly convey the message or “story” in the data.

Further: 3D graphs should have a meaningful 3rd dimension. Usually 2D is sufficient.

The scale on the vertical axis should (usually) begin at zero.
