What is 2k rule?
The 2k or 2 to K rule is used to determine the number of classes for a frequency distribution. The 2k rule should be used as a guide more than a dictator of determining the number of classes for a frequency distribution.
How are histograms and bar graphs different?
In a bar graph, the height of the bars is relative to the frequency. In a histogram, the area of the bars is relative to the frequency. Because it deals with area, the label on the y-axis is "frequency density" rather than just "frequency"
Can frequency distribution contain more than 10 observations?
Yes. Often hundreds and sometimes (eg in a population Census), millions.
Suppose that a frequency histogram and a cumulative frequency histogram are constructed from the same set of data using the same classes is the frequency for each class is the frequency equal to the?
the frequency is less than OR EQUAL TO the cumulative frequency
What is the shape of a frequency distribution with an arithmetic mean of 800 pounds median of 758 pounds and a mode of 750 pounds?
As the mean is greater than the median it will be positively skewed (skewed to the right), and if the median is larger than the mean it will be negatively skewed (skewed to the left)
What is the advantage of relative frequency distribution vs distribution frequency?
These help to distribute the frequency much better than the latter. The noise might not be as loud or boisterous this way.
Why would relative frequency be better than frequency while comparing two different groups?
you are aw some * * * * * Sadly you are not since you can't even spell the word. Relative frequency would be better because the two groups may be of different size.
Why is a cumulative frequency distribution so much more informative than just the relative frequency distribution?
It is not. It depends on what question you want to answer. They are both equally informative, but in different circumstances.the CRFD can be used to determine a summary of proportion of observations that lies above(or below) a particular value in a data set which the RFD cannot
What is commulative frequency distribution?
The cumulative frequency distribution for a value x of a random variable X, is a count of the number of observations in which X is less than or equal to x. The cumulative frequency distribution for a value x of a random variable X, is a count of the number of observations in which X is less than or equal to x. The cumulative frequency distribution for a value x of a random variable X, is a count of the number of observations in which X is less than or equal to x. The cumulative frequency distribution for a value x of a random variable X, is a count of the number of observations in which X is less than or equal to x.
What is a radio wave's relative wavelength and frequency is?
The wave length and frequency of course vary, the frequency ranges from 3kHz to 300 GHz. The wavelengths are longer than infrared.
What does a cumulative relative frequency of .4 mean?
If the cumulative relative frequency when the variable X takes the value x, it means that 0.4 (or 40%) of the values of the variable X are less than or equal to x.
What is 2k rule?
The 2k or 2 to K rule is used to determine the number of classes for a frequency distribution. The 2k rule should be used as a guide more than a dictator of determining the number of classes for a frequency distribution.
Why normal distribution is better than other distributions?
It may not be better, but there is a lot of information on the normal distribution. It is one of the most widely used in statistics.
How are histograms and bar graphs different?
In a bar graph, the height of the bars is relative to the frequency. In a histogram, the area of the bars is relative to the frequency. Because it deals with area, the label on the y-axis is "frequency density" rather than just "frequency"
Does the size of a sample affect the values of the frequency table?
Yes. If the sample is a random drawing from the population, then as the size increases, the relative frequency of each interval from the sample should be a better estimate of the relative frequency in the population. Now, in practical terms, increasing a small sample will have a larger effect than increasing a large sample. For example, increasing a sample from 10 to 100 will have a larger effect than increasing a sample from 1000 to 10,000. The one exception to this, that I can think of, is if the focus of the study is on a very rare occurrence.
Can frequency distribution contain more than 10 observations?
Yes. Often hundreds and sometimes (eg in a population Census), millions.
What is the problem if frequency of computer is low and random access memory is high?
It's not a problem. But it's better when FSB frequency is higher than RAM frequency.
