EXERCISE 1: COLLECTION AND PRESENTATION OF DATA

I. OBJECTIVES: At the end of the exercise, the student must be able to: 1. present collected data through a frequency table. 2. present data set in tabular form 3. present data through charts II. Materials: 1. data set 2. calculator 3. computer III. Methods: 1. Encode your data in excel. Each row should represent a respondent and each column should represent a variable. Be sure to include legend in your worksheet. 2. Classify your variables according to scales of measurement.

3. Choose one ratio variable in your data set and construct a frequency table. Explain the frequency table. 4. Present one nominal variable using a pie chart. Describe the pie chart. 5. Draw a bar graph for one of the variables in your data set. Explain the graph. 6. Draw a line graph for one or two variables in your data set. Explain the graph.

IV. Results and Discussion: (Place all your graphs, tables and discussion of results in this section. ) A. The table below shows the frequency of a particular age range of the crew under MARLOW Emsstrom Engine Cadet Program.
Frequency Table H = 38 L = 27 n= 120 Range K interval 11 7 2 Age Range 26 - 27 28 - 29 30 - 31 32 - 33 34 - 35 36 - 37 38 - 39 2 13 22 6 66 8 3

Range = HL LL = 38 27 = 11

K = 2k>n = 27>120 K= 7

Interval = H - L K = 38 - 27 7 = 1.57 round up to 2

Age Range
80 60 40 20 0 26 - 27 28 - 29 30 - 31 32 - 33 34 - 35 36 - 37 38 - 39

B. The pie graph below shows the percentage by present rank of crew under Emsstrom Cadet Program.

D. The line graph bellows represents the number of cadets hired each year from 1998 2008 by MARLOW under Emsstrom Engine Cadet Program

Number of Engine Cadets hired per year 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 13 2 9 14 11 10 10 10 9 10 22

V. Analysis: 1. Can you identify the best method of presenting data? If YES, what will it be? If NO, why not?

In presenting the data, method will vary depending on the type of data you will present. If you present your data in percentage either nominal or ordinal, it is best to use pie chart or bar chart. But if you are presenting a data which is in the form of time line or comparison of two variables, its best to use the line chart.
