There are several methods of classification including geographical, chronological, qualitative, and quantitative. Geographical classification groups data by location. Chronological classification orders data by time. Qualitative classification sorts data based on attributes like literacy or religion. Quantitative classification organizes numeric data such as heights, weights, or incomes into frequency distributions that show the values and corresponding frequencies.

    By: Mamta Bansal MBA (SM) Roll no. 22

    Objective of classification
    To condense the mass of data in such a way that their similarities and dissimilarities become very clear. To facilities comparison. To point out the most important features of the data at a glance. To present the data in a brief form. To enable statistical treatment of the data collected.

    Methods of Classification
    Geographical classification Chronological classification Qualitative classification Quantitative classification

    Geographical Classification
    Data are classified on the basis of geographical or locational difference between the various items.

    State

    Chronological Classification
    In this data are classified on the basis of time

    year

    Population (in crores) 36.1


    43.9 54.8 68.4 84.4

    Qualitative Classification
    Data are classified on the basis of some attribute or quality such as literacy, religion, marital status etc. This is of two types: 1) Simple classification 2) Manifold classification

    Quantitative classification
    Data are classified on the basis of some characteristics which is capable of direct quantitative measurement such as height, weight, income, marks etc. weight 70-80 80-90 90-100 No. of student 40 50 150

    100-110
    110-120

    Quantitative data

    Ordered array or individual series

    Frequency distribution

    Discrete series

    Continuous series

    Ordered array or Individual series


    It is an orderly arrangement of data either in ascending or descending order of magnitude.

    Frequency Distribution
    Discrete frequency distribution: shows the value of variable individually and also the corresponding frequencies side by side.

    Marks 11 12 14 16

    frequency 3 1 4 2

    18 20

    5
    1 4

    Frequency Distribution
    Grouped frequency distribution: shows the values of the variable in group and also the corresponding frequencies side by side.

    Daily wages (in Rs.) 40-50 50-60

    No. of workers 7 12

    60-70
