What is It

The following lesson will provide you with a brief discussion of the lesson.
This will help you discover and understand new concepts and skills in research.

Let’s do this!
Most of you is updated to social media predominantly facebook, a social
networking site that makes it easy for you to connect and share with family and
friends online, but before you make friends request and accepting friends, you
probably reading the primary information in their Personal Bio, the relationship
status, whether it is: single, in a relationship, Engaged, Married, in a civil union.

Next to status, you find the birthday to presume the age of your friends if
older or younger than you.

7
 Among 50 first friends in your Facebook page, gather their age and
relationship status, then compile and assess your findings using the information
on their Facebook Bio.

The data recorded in sequence in which they are collected before they
are processed or ranked are called raw data.

Raw Data

Table 1. The relationship status of your 50 first friends in Facebook page.

a. Single (J),
b. in a relationship (F)
c. Engaged (SO)
d. Married (SE)

Table 2. The Age of your Facebook friends.

Table 3. Twenty friends were asked how many hours they worked per day. Their
responses, in hours, are listed below

5 6 3 3 2
4 7 5 2 3
5 6 5 4 4
3 5 2 5 3

Data can be classified in two broad categories:

a. Qualitative Data or Attributes
The characteristics or traits for which numerical value CAN NOT be assigned,
are called attributes e.g. gender, motivation, etc.
 Qualitative is based on feelings and interpretations
 While numbers can be assigned, they tend to be estimates
8
 Example: The relationships status of your 50 first friends’ in
Facebook page.
b. Single (J),
c. in a relationship (F) Interpretation
CAN NOT
d. Engaged (SO)
Be define by numbers
e. Married (SE)
b. Quantitative Data or Variables
 Anything that can be expressed as a number, or quantity or
magnitude
 Describes characteristics in term of a numerical value, which are
expressed in units of measurements
Example: The Age of your Facebook friends.
Number of hours your 20 friends want to work.

I. ORGANIZING QUALITATIVE DATA

a. Frequency Distribution - a frequency distribution for data lists all
categories and the number of elements that belong to each of the
categories.
b. Frequency
c. Relative Frequency
d. Cumulative Frequency

A frequency is the number of times a given datum occurs in a data set.

Frequency distribution example

A sample of 30 Grade 9 research students from Probinsyano National High
School was selected, and these students were asked how stressful their modules
were.

The responses of these students are recorded below, where:

Very -represents very stressful,
Somewhat -means somewhat stressful,
None - means not stressful at all.

Table 1. Show the Stress on Module responses of Probinsyano NHS students.

There is a total of 30 responses resulted from different categories.

Table 1.

9
 Below is an example of how a frequency table is done. The “very”
category frequently occur ten times base on the data above.

Stress on Modules Tally Frequency (ƒ)

Very //// //// 10
Somewhat

Relative Frequency and Percentage Distribution

Using the formula below, calculate the Relative Frequency of the “very”
category.

Stress on Modules Relative Frequency Percentage

Very 10/30=.333 .333 x 100 =33.3
Somewhat

The relative frequency of “very” category is .333 and the distribution among all
30 responses is 33.3 %.

Graphical presentation of the Qualitative Data

Using Bar Graph

A graph made of bars whose heights represent the

frequencies of respective categories is called a bar graph.

Graph 1. Presentation of the Stress on Modules of 30

Grade 9 students of Probinsyano NHS.

Using Pie Chart

A circle divided into portions that represent the
relative frequencies or percentages of a population or a

10
sample belonging to different categories is called a pie chart.

Using line chart Presentation of the stress on

modules of 30 Grade 9
students
Also known as line graph of which display
graphical information events, and situations 15
that changes continuously overtime. It consists

of x-axis line represents categories and y-axis
represents the scale with equal intervals. 5

ORGANIZING AND GRAPHING QUANTITATIVE DATA

A frequency distribution for quantitative data lists all the classes and the
number of values that belong to each class.

Table 4. Shows the Weekly earnings of Tricycle Divers

CLASS

Steps in Constructing Frequency Distribution Tables

a. Class boundary
- given by the midpoint of the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the
next class.
Ex. 801 to 1000 the class boundary will be 801.5 to1000.5

11
b. Finding Class Width
Class width = Upper boundary – Lower boundary

Class Limits Class Boundaries Class Width Class Midpoint

801 to 1000 801.5 to 1000.5 200 900.5
1001 to 1200 1001.5 to 1200.5 200 1100.5
1201 to 1400 1201.5 to 1400.5 200 1300.5
1401 to 1600 1401.5 to 1600.5 200 1500.5
1601 to 1800 160.5 to 1800.5 200 1700.5
1801 to 2000 1801.5 to 2000.5 200 1900.5

c. Calculating Class Midpoint or Mark

Example:
1001 to 1200 = 900.5
1001 + 1200 = 2201
2
= 900.5

d.Calculation of Class Width

Let us study another example below.

The following data gives the total number of Smartphones sold by a mail
order company on each of 30 days.

Given is a frequency distribution table.

8 25 11 15 29 22 10 5 17 21
22 13 26 16 18 12 9 26 20 16
23 14 19 23 20 16 27 16 21 14

The minimum value is 5, and the maximum value is 29. Suppose we

decide to group these data using five classes of equal width.
Then,

12
 Now we round off this approximate width to a convenient number, say 5.
The lower limit of the first class can be taken as 5 or any number less than 5.
Suppose we take 5 as the lower limit and 9 as the upper limit of the first class,
and so on.

Then our classes will be:

5–9
10 – 14
15 – 19
20 – 24
25 – 29

Relative Frequency and Percentage Distributions

Calculating Relative Frequency and Percentage

Let us consider a quantitative data from the total number of Smartphones

sold by a mail order company on each of 30 days.

8 25 11 15 29 22 10 5 17 21
22 13 26 16 18 12 9 26 20 16
23 14 19 23 20 16 27 16 21 14

Smartphone Class Boundary Relative Percentage

sold Frequency
5–9 4.5 to less than 9.5 3/30=.100 10.0
10 – 14 9.5 to less than 14.5 6/30=.200 20.0

Let us have the class limits of 5 to 9 and 10 to 14. It means within the lower and
upper classes boundary there are 3 (5, 8, 9) and 6 (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 14)
smartphones sold by mail order. By using the formula, the calculated relative
frequency of 5 to 9 is 3/30= .100 multiply by 100% the answer is 10.0

13
Graphing Group Data (Quantitative)

A histogram is a graph in which classes are marked on the horizontal axis

and the frequencies, relative frequencies, or percentages are marked on the
vertical axis.
The frequencies, relative frequencies, or percentages are represented by
the heights of the bars.
In a histogram, the bars are drawn adjacent to each other.

A graph formed by joining the midpoints of the tops of successive bars in

a histogram with straight lines is called a polygon.
