In this situation, there are guidelines that can be used when setting up the
classes. They are.
1. Use 5 – 15 classes
2. Keep each class of the same width
3. Do not leave out any class, even if the frequency of the class is Zero
4. Make sure that there are enough classes for all the data
5. Do not overlap the classes
Step 1: Determine the classes. Get the difference between the smallest and
largest value. Then divide it according to the number of classes you want
65 – 22 = 43/6 = 7…. = 8
Step 2: Get the lowest data value
Lowest: 22
Step 3: Add 8 (quotient) and continue until you have 6 classes
22 + 8 = 30
54 + 8 = 62
30 + 8 = 38
62 + 8 = 70
38 + 8 = 46
46 + 8 = 54
Step 4: Subtract 1 from each value to get the upper limit
30 – 1 = 29
62 – 1 = 61
38 – 1 = 37
70 – 1 = 69
46 – 1 = 45
54 – 1 = 53

Measures of Average
If the quarterly grades of the student for the school year are 84, 88, 87 and
89. Find the mean.
87
87 x 3 = 261
88 x 2 = 176
90 x 5 = 450
91 x 3 = 270
261 + 176 + 450 + 270 = 289.25 / 13 = 89
Find the weighted mean

The number of movies a video store rented during a 7 – day period is shown.
Find the mean, median and mode for the data:
156, 182, 147, 159, 165, 171, 159
147, 156, 159, 159, 165, 171, 182
Mean – 162.71
Median – 159
Mode–159
The two data can have the same mean and still be different. Consider the two
data sets:
Set A: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25
Set B: 13, 14, 15, 16, 17
Different: Range, standard deviation
For this reason, statisticians also use three common measures of variability
to describe the data. They are the range, variance, and standard
deviation. Moreover, measures of variability are also called as
dispersion.
Range is the difference between the smallest and the largest data value
Range is a rough indication of variability, that is why statistician also use
variance and standard deviation
Find the variance and standard deviation for following data listed below
1) 10, 11, 12, 13, 16
Variance:(10 + 11 + 12 + 13 + 16) / 5 = 12.4
10 – 12.4 = -2.4 13 – 12.4 = 0.6
11 – 12.4 = -1.4 16 – 12.4 = 3.6
12 – 12.4 = -0.4
[(-2.4)2 + (-1.4)2 + (-0.4)2 + (0.6)2 + (3.6)2] / 5 = 4.24
Standard Deviation: √4.24 = 2.06
3) 6, 22, 26, 40
Variance:(6 + 22 + 30 + 40) / 4 = 24.5
6 – 24.5 = -18.5 30 – 24.5 = 5.5
22 – 24.5 = -2.5 40 – 24.5 = 15.5
[(-18.5) + (-2.5) + (5.5)2 + (15.5)2] / 4 = 154.75

It consists of bars
Bars of the same width
There are spaces between them
Use a scale of 0 – 9 units
Uses a circle
Divide into section proportional to the data (representing parts of a
whole)
Use a protractor (if manual)
Get the percentage of each category / class from the whole, then
multiply to 360 to get the angle
Label properly and make it presentable
When data are collected over a period of time (hours, days, weeks, etc.),
they can be analyzed using a time series graph
The scale along x – axis represents the time
Y – axis represents data values
Data values are connected with broken line segments
