  1. Stat 2411 Statistical Methods Chapter 2: Summarizing data

  2. Summarizing Data Data are collected to answer some questions. The analysis of the data includes thinking and statistical methods. Example: 8 lb test Fishing Line Question: Which type(s) of line are strongest?

  3. 2.1 Listing numerical data • Trilene XL 11.5 11.3 11.7 11.6 11.7 11.4 11.5 11.5 11.6 11.4 • Trilene XT11.6 11.8 11.7 11.7 11.5 116 11.6 11.8 11.4 11.7 • Stren11.1 11.1 11.2 11.0 11.1 11.3 11.2 10.9 11.0 11.1

  4. Plotting of the dataDot diagram When Analyzing data, always plot the data! A dot diagram: XLXTStren 11.8 * * 11.7 * * * * * 11.6 * * * * * 11.5 * * * * 11.4 * * * 11.3 * * 11.2 * * 11.1 * * * * 11.0 * * 10.9 *

  5. Plotting of the dataBar Chart A bar chart – Trilene XL 11.3 11.4 11.5 11.6 11.7

  6. 2.2 Stem and Leaf Diagram • Separate each observation into 2 parts • Stem: everything but the rightmost digit • Leaf: the final digit • Write the stems in a vertical column, then draw a vertical line next to them • Write each leaf in a row to the right of its stem

  10. 2.3 Frequency Distributions With larger data sets it helps to count numbers of values in different summary classes, usually 5-15 classes. E.g. Suspended solids in agricultural watersheds. (Water Resources Bulletin) Suspended Solids (ppm)Frequency 30-39 8 40-497 50-69 5 60-69 11 70-79 6 80-89 1 90-99 2

  11. Frequency Distributions Look at book for: • Class limits • Upper class limits • Lower class limits • Class marks • Class intervals

  12. 2.4 Graphical Representations • A histogram represents a frequency distribution with bars. 11 8 7 6 5 2 1 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90-99

  13. Pie Chart (360 x %) Tree # % Degrees Oak 50 62.5% 225 Maple 20 25% 90 Ash 10 12.5% 45 80 360

  14. 2.5 Two Variable Data Scattergram Cma Chromosome Abnormal % 0.11 2 0.19 5 0.51 13 0.53 15 1.08 25 1.62 28 1.73 36 2.36 45 2.72 56 3.12 59 3.88 63 4.18 60

  15. Two groups can be compared with back to back stem and leaf diagrams E.g. Stopping distances of bikes Treaded tire Smooth tire 34 1 8 9 35 5 5 36 6 4 37 5 38 1 39 1 2 0 40 Or dot diagrams | | | * | ** | | * |** Treaded 340 350 360 370 380 390 400 |*** | * | | * | | * | Smooth

  16. When there are associations between sets of data values, plot the data accordingly. E.g., Snowfall for duluth and White Bear Lake 1972-2000 A not very good way to plot the data WB Lake Duluth 130 * 120 * 110 ** ** 100 *** * 90 ***** 80 ****** ****** 70 ** *** 60 ** ********** 50 **** *** 40 *** *** 30 * *** 20

  18. A study of trace metals in South Indian River 5 3 1 6 2 4 T=top water zinc concentration (mg/L) B=bottom water zinc (mg/L) 1 2 3 4 5 6 Top 0.415 0.238 0.390 0.410 0.605 0.609 Bottom 0.430 0.266 0.567 0.531 0.707 0.716

  19. One of the first things to do when analyzing data is to PLOT the data • This is not a useful way to plot the data. There is not a clear distinction between bottom water and top water zinc—even though Bottom>Top at all 6 locations. Top Bottom

  20. A better way Top Bottom Connect points in the same pair.

  21. A better way Bottom=Top
