TERMINOLOGIES
• Frequency Table – a systematic arrangement of values grouped into
class intervals; used to summarize data so frequency of each interval
is clearly displayed and relative frequency of each interval can be
easily computed
• Class Interval – range of numbers defined by highest and lowest
numbers in class
• Frequency – number of times a particular value of phenomenon
occurs
• Relative Frequency – proportion of all given values that fall within the
interval
FREQUENCY TABLE EXAMPLE
TERMINOLOGIES
• Bar Graph – graphical representation of frequency table for
qualitative data
• Histogram – graphical representation of frequency table for
quantitative data; constructed by creating adjoining rectangles whose
widths are widths of class interval they represent and whose heights
represent either frequency, relative frequency or percentage

SURVEY

• A survey is a way to ask a lot of people a few well-constructed

questions. The survey is a series of unbiased questions that the
subject must answer.
DESIGNING SURVEY

Steps in designing a survey

1. Determine the goal of your survey
2. Identify the sample population
3. Choose an interviewing method
4. Decide what questions you will ask in what order, and how to phrase them.
5. Conduct the interview and collect the information.
6. Analyze the results by making graphs and drawing conclusions.
CONSTRUCTING SURVEY

PROBLEM :

Martha wants to construct a survey that shows which

sports students at her school like to play the most.
CONSTRUCTING SURVEY

A. List the goal of the survey.

Ans: The goal of the survey is to find the answer to the question:
“Which sports do students at Martha’s school like to play the most?”

B. What population sample should she know?

Ans: A sample of the population would include a random sample of the

student population in Marth’s school.

C. How should she administer the survey?

Ans: Face to face interviews are a good choice in this case. Interviews
will be easy to conduct since the survey consist of only one question
which can be quickly answered and recorded. Asking face to face will
help eliminate non-response bias.

• Make a bar graph of the results showing the percentage of each
student in each category.
