 DEFINITION

BIVARIATE
DATA is a data for which two
paired Random Variables are considered in
every observation.
The two Random Variables, usually denoted by X and Y, are
functions that map each observation into numbers.
 NOTES and EXAMPLES
A. The two random variables in every
observation may be a data from:
a) a single instance measured in two different
quantities (e.g. a moving car at a specific
time whose speed is measured by its
speedometer and whose distance traveled is
measured by its odometer);
 NOTES and EXAMPLES
A. The two random variables in every
observation may be a data from:
b) Two fields of a person’s record (e.g. height
and weight of a person’s medical records);
 NOTES and EXAMPLES
A. The two random variables in every
observation may be a data from:
c) Two measurements of a single person or entity
recorded in two different determined periods
(e.g. pre-test and post-test result in Statistics
and Probability during the beginning and end
of second semester, respectively);
 NOTES and EXAMPLES
A. The two random variables in every
observation may be a data from:
d) Paired measurements from two persons or
entity whose relation is defined (e.g.
Groom’s age and his Bride’s age on their
wedding day); and others which may be
similar from the foregoing.
 NON-EXAMPLES
To better illustrate bivariate data, you might need
some examples of two random variables which
are NOT bivariate data.
1) X – A person’s length of time spent in mobile
games
Y – another random person’s length of time
spent in reading books
 NON-EXAMPLES
To better illustrate bivariate data, you might need
some examples of two random variables which
are NOT bivariate data.
2) X – an employee’s performance rating for the
month of January
Y – another random employee’s performance
rating for the same month
 NON-EXAMPLES
To better illustrate bivariate data, you might need
some examples of two random variables which
are NOT bivariate data.
3) X – an employee’s performance rating for the
month of January
Y – the performance rating of the same
employee in a random month

 NOTES and EXAMPLES
B. Bivariate data may be presented by a table of
values or by a set of ordered pairs.
 NOTES and EXAMPLES
Example:
a) a moving car at a specific time whose speed is measured by its
speedometer and whose distance traveled is measured by its
odometer
Table of Values
TIME 7:00 7:30 8:00 8:30 9:00
SPEED (KPH) 20 60 80 40 10
TOTAL DISTANCE 25 28 32 36 37
TRAVELED (KM)

Set of Ordered pairs:

{(20, 25), (60, 28), (80, 32), (40, 36), (10, 37)}
 NOTES and EXAMPLES
Example:
b) height and weight of a person’s medical records

Table of Values
Patient’s code A25 A26 A27 A28 A29
Height (cm) 141 152 110 161 145
Weight (Kg) 45 78 32 92 53

Set of Ordered pairs:

{(141, 45), (152, 78), (110, 32), (161, 92), (145, 53)}
