In chapter one, we discussed briefly the
importance of samples. When we
select a sample from a population, the
sample must be representative of the
population.
Let’s consider an example:
Sampling Designs
Methods by which a representative sample
can be chosen from a population.
Histogram
Relative frequency histogram
Polygon
Ogive
Data Presentation
• Histogram
A type of bar chart in which class limits are
shown on x-axis and frequencies on Y-Axis.
Figure 2-1. (page 25)
• Relative Frequency Histogram
If relative frequencies are shown on Y-Axis,
a histogram is called a relative frequency
histogram. See Figure 2-2 on page 25.
Data Presentation
• The Polygon
If the mid-points of all classes of a
histogram are connected together, a
frequency polygon is formed. Figure 2-3
(page 26) is a frequency polygon.
A relative frequency polygon is created
from a relative frequency histogram by
connecting the mid-points of the classes as
in a histogram. See Figure 2-4 on page 26.
The Ogive
• On an ogive, the x-axis represents the upper limit
of each class and the y-axis represents cumulative
frequencies. The points are connected. The lower
limit of the first class is the beginning point with
zero frequency. Figures 2-5 on page 27 is an
ogive.
A relative cumulative frequency ogive can be
formed by replacing cumulative frequencies of an
ogive with relative cumulative frequencies. Look
at Figure 2-6 on page 27.
