Organising anddisplaying data

What is the difference between categorical and numerical data?

What is a frequency table, how is it constructed and when is it used?

What is the mode and how do we determine its value?

What are bar charts, histograms, stem plots and dot plots? How are they

constructed and when are they used?

How do you describe the features of bar charts, histograms and stem plots when

writing a statistical report?

1.1 Classifying dataStatistics is a science concerned with understanding the world through data. The first step in

this process is to put the data into a form that makes it easier to see patterns or trends.

Some dataThe data contained in Table 1.1 is part of a larger set of data collected from a group of

university students.

Chapter 9 – Arithmetic and geometric sequences 237

How to use a graphics calculator to generate the terms of an arithmetic sequence on theHome screen

Generate the first five terms of the arithmetic sequence: 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, . . .

Steps1 Start on the Home screen. Clear. Enter the value of the

first term 2. Press Í.

2 The common difference for this sequence is 5. So, type

in + 5. Press Í. The second term in the sequence,

7, is generated.

3 Pressing Í again generates the next term, 12.

4 Pressing Í again generates the next term, 17.

Keep pressing Í until the required number

of terms is generated.

Being able to recognise an arithmetic sequence is another skill that you need to develop. The

key idea here is that the successive terms in an arithmetic sequence differ by a constant amount

(the common difference).

Example 1 Testing for an arithmetic sequence

a Is the sequence 20, 17, 14, 11, 8, . . . arithmetic?

Solution

Strategy: Subtract successive terms in the sequence to see whether they differ by a constant

amount. If they do, the sequence is arithmetic.

1 Write down the terms of the sequence.

2 Subtract successive terms.

20, 17, 14, 11, 8, . . .

17− 20= −314− 17 = −311− 14= −3 and so on

3 Write down your conclusion Sequence is arithmetic as terms differ by aconstant amount.

Chapter 4 — Displaying and describing relationships between two variables 107

Clearly, traffic volume is a very good predictor of carbon monoxide levels in the air. Knowing

the traffic volume will enable us to predict carbon monoxide levels with a high degree of

accuracy. This contrasts with the next example, which concerns the ability to predict

mathematical ability from verbal ability.

Example 3 Calculating and interpreting the coefficient of determination

Scores on tests of verbal and mathematical ability are linearly related with:

rmathematical, verbal = +0.275

Determine the value of the coefficient of determination, write it in percentage terms, and

interpret. In this relationship, mathematical ability is the DV.

Solution

The coefficient of determination is:

r 2 = (0.275)2 = 0.0756 . . . or 0.076× 100= 7.6%

Therefore, only 7.6% of the variation observed in scores on the test of mathematical ability canbe explained by the variation in scores obtained on the test of verbal ability.

Clearly, scores on the verbal ability test are not good predictors of the scores on the

mathematical ability test; 92.4% of the variation in mathematical ability is explained by other

factors.

Exercise 4G

1 For each of the following values of r, calculate the value of the coefficient of determination

and convert to a percentage (correct to one decimal place).

a r = 0.675 b r = 0.345 c r = −0.567 d r = −0.673 e r = 0.124

2 a For the relationship described by the scatterplot

shown opposite, the coefficient of determination = 0.8215.

Determine the value of the correlation coefficient r

(correct to three decimal places).

b For the relationship described by the scatterplot shown

opposite, the coefficient of determination = 0.1243.

Determine the value of the correlation coefficient r

(correct to three decimal places).

Chapter 6 — Data transformation 173

Key ideas and chapter summary

Data transformation This means changing the scale on either the x or y axis. It is

performed when a residual plot shows that the underlying

relationship in a set of bivariate data is clearly non-linear.

x2 or y2 transformation The square transformation stretches out the upper end of

the scale on an axis.

log x or log y transformation The log transformation compresses the upper end of the

scale on an axis.1

xor

1

ytransformation The reciprocal transformation compresses the upper end

of the scale on an axis to a greater extent than the log

transformation.

Residual plots Residual plots are used to assess the effectiveness of each

data transformation.

Coefficient of determination (r2) The transformation which results in a linear relationship

and which has the highest value of the coefficient of

determination is considered to be the best transformation.

The circle of transformations The circle of transformations provides guidance in

choosing the transformations that can be used to linearise

various types of scatterplots. See page 166.

Skills check

Having completed this chapter you should be able to:

recognise which of the x2, log x,1

x, y2, log y or

1

ytransformations might be used to

linearise a bivariate relationship

apply each of these transformations to a data set

use residual plots and the coefficient of determination r2 to decide which

transformation gives the best model for the relationship

use the transformed variable as part of a regression analysis to give a model for the

relationship

AActivity (CPA): [p. 595] A task to be completed aspart of a project. Activities are represented by theedges in the project diagram.

Acute angle: An angle less than 90◦.

Adjacency matrix: [pp. 561, 586] A square matrixshowing the number of edges joining each pair ofvertices in a graph.

Algorithm: A step-by-step procedure for solving aparticular problem that involves applying the sameprocess repeatedly. Examples include Prim’salgorithm and the Hungarian algorithm.

Allocation problem: [p. 602] A problem thatinvolves finding the best way to match a givennumber of objects (people, machines, etc.) to a givennumber of activities.

Alternate angles: [p. 320]

Angle of depression: [p. 371] The angle between thehorizontal and a direction below the horizontal.

Angle of elevation: [p. 371] The angle between thehorizontal and a direction above the horizontal.

Angle sum of a triangle: [p. 322] In triangleABC, <A + <B + <C = 180◦.

Annuity equation: [pp. 531, 534] The equation:

A = PRn − Q(Rn − 1)

R − 1, where R = 1 + r

100.

The annuity equation can be used to determineeither the amount owed on a reducing balance loanwith regular repayments, or the value of aninvestment (annuity) with regular payments orwithdrawals.

Area of a triangle: [p. 364] See also Heron’sformula.

Arithmetic sequence: [p. 236] A sequence whosesuccessive terms differ by a constant amount (d)called the common difference. Given the value of thefirst term in an arithmetic sequence (a), there arerules for finding the nth term and the sum of the firstn terms.

Assignment problem: [p. 602] See allocationproblem.

BBar chart: [p. 4] A statistical graph used to displaythe frequency distribution of categorical data.

Bearing: [p. 371] See true bearing.

Bipartite graph (bigraph): [p. 562] A graph whoseset of vertices can be split into two subsets, X and Y,in such a way that each edge of the graph joins avertex in X and a vertex in Y.

Bivariate data: [p. 85] Data associated with tworelated variables.

Book value: [p. 526] The value of an item afterdepreciation.

Box plot (standard): [p. 41] A graphicalrepresentation of a five number summary.

Box plot (with outliers): [p. 42] A modified form ofthe standard box plot in which possible outliers areshown. Possible outliers are defined as data valuesgreater than Q3 + 1.5 × IQR and less thanQ1 − 1.5 × IQR.

Break-even analysis: [p. 418] Finding the pointwhere the revenue of a business first equals the costsof running the business. Past this point, the businessis running at a profit: profit = revenue − costs.

CCapacity of a cut: [p. 592] The sum of thecapacities (weights) of the edges directed from X to Ythat the cut passes through.

Categorical data: [p. 2] Data obtained whenclassifying or naming some quality or attribute, forexample: place of birth, hair colour.

Causal relationship: [p. 108] When the change inone variable in a relationship can be said to be thedirect result of a change in a second variable, therelationship is said to be causal. A high correlationbetween two variables does not necessarily mean thatthe variables are causally related.
