Stats Chapter 2 Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

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
