UNIT 5 Statistics and Probability
In this lesson students will learn
Quantitative and Qualitative data
Continuous and discrete variables(data)
Ungroup and group data
Terms related to grouped continuous data
Definitions:-
Data which can be described numerically are quantitative.
Data which can’t be described numerically are qualitative.
A quantity which assumes different values is said to be variable.
A discrete variable is one which takes only whole number values.
A continuous variable is one which takes all real values between a given
two real values.
Activity:-
1. Classify the following data as qualitative, quantitative, discrete, and
continuous data
Religion, Sex, Height, Income, Number of students in class, Rank of
students by examination results,
2. In a statistics exam out of 100, a group of students have scored the
following results.
75 72 83 69 80 71 74 50 60 45
78 92 90 59 58 68 63 70 49 82
Using the data given, answer the following questions.
a) How many students take the exam?
b) How many students score less than 60?
c) What is the maximum score?
d) What is the minimum score?
e) Find the range.
f) Group the data in to five classes.
g) What is the lower class limit of the second class?
h) What is the upper class limit of the second class?
i) What is the class mark (class midpoint) of the third class?
j) What is the lower class boundary of the second class?
Solutions:-
1. Qualitative :- Religion, Sex
Quantitative: - Height, Income, No of students in a class, Rank of
students by exam results.
Continuous variable: - Height, Income
Discrete variable: - No of students in a class, Rank of students by exam
