This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.
Frequency Table
can be set up as |
table |
or |
graph |
Two columns |
first=score |
second= times occured |
Σf = N |
Obtaining ΣX |
add scores |
Obtaining ΣX^2 |
square then add |
Proportions & Percentages
Proportion = |
P=f/N |
Percentage= |
p(100)=(f/N)(100) |
Group Frequency Score
Example: |
Test Scores |
low=50: high=100 |
combine= 50 |
Guideline 1= |
10 class intervals |
YOU WANT AROUND 10 |
Guideline 2= |
Easy intervals |
Width= How many points it will cover |
Guideline 3= |
Bottom Score start width |
Guideline 4= |
Intervals should be same width |
|
|
Real Limits and Frequency Distributions
Real Limits |
Example: 5-7= |
4.5-7.5 |
Frequency Distribution Graphs
Y-Axis should be |
2/3 or |
3/4 the size of the |
X-Axis |
When something is measured numerically |
via interval or |
Histograms |
|
|
|
|
Frequency distribution shape
Characteristics of distributions= |
Shape |
Central Tendency |
Variability |
Central Tendency measures= |
where the center is |
Shape= |
shape |
duhhhh |
Variability measures= |
how far the range is |
Cumulative Frequency
Cumulative Frequency= |
represents groups as they accumulate up the score |
Cumulative percentage equation = |
(cf/N)(100%) |
Interpolation
Example: |
Supposed to work 8 hours |
only work 4 hours |
get paid 100 dollars |
Normal = |
find hourly wage |
and multiply by the |
hours you work |
Interpolation= |
4 is half of 8 |
so divide your salary by |
half |
