1 U04 D02 Univariate Data Frequency Table Line Plot Box and Whisker Plot Univariate Data Bivariate Data involving a single variable does not deal with causes or relationships the major purpose of univariate analysis is to describe central tendency mean, mode, median dispersion range, variance, max, min, quartiles, standard deviation. frequency distributions bar graph, histogram, pie chart, line graph, box and whisker plot Sample question: How many of the students in the freshman class are female? Created by Donna Roberts involving two variables deals with causes or relationships the major purpose of bivariate analysis is to explain analysis of two variables simultaneously correlations Copyright comparisons, relationships, causes, explanations Oswego City School District Regents Exam Prep Cente tables where one variable is contingent on the values of the other variable. independent and dependent variables Sample question: Is there a relationship between the number of females in Computer Programming and their scores in Mathematics?

2 Univariate Data 1. Student ratings of a movie First organize your data Tally Data Value Tally "Organized count or tally of the data."

3 Line Plot Tally Data Value Graphic of the frequency Table First...organize your data. 3 5 Minimum: Maximum: Range: Mean (average): Median (middle): Mode (most): Answer?

4 You try: Minimum: 5 5First...organize your data Answer? Maximum: Range: Mean (average): Median (middle): Mode (most): Bi Modal Surprise Our original organized data. 3 Answer? Quartiles: The medians between the median and min/max 1st Quartile (Q1) = 2nd Quartile (Q2) = median = 3rd Quartile (Q3) =

5 We have to still check for outliers... Q 3 Q 1 is the interquartile range (IQR) Upper outliers > Q (Q 3 Q 1 ) Lower outliers < Q 1 1.5(Q 3 Q 1 ) Much of this data can be quickly obtained from your calculator too data: ) enter into L 1 2) STAT CALC 1: 1 Var Stats 3) what does everything mean? mean sum of data sum of data 2 sample standard deviation population standard deviation n = 13 minx = 1 Q 1 = 0.5 Med = Q 3 = 11 maxx = 164 Now make your box and whisker plot. Statplot > Plot 1 Zoom > :Stat Trace to see what the min, Q1, median, Q3, max are
