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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
