CHAPTER The new Essential 1 CORE Organising and series for the 2006 displaying data

What is the difference between categorical and numerical data? What is a frequency table, how is it constructed and when is it used? study design What is the mode and how do we determine its value? What are bar charts, histograms, stem plots and dot plots? How are they constructed and when are they used? How do you describe the features of bar charts, histograms and stem plots when writing a statistical report?

In each chapter you will find … 1.1 Classifying data is a science concerned with understanding the world through data. The first step in this process is to put the data into a form that makes it easier to see patterns or trends. Some data The data contained in Table 1.1 is part of a larger of data collected from a group of university students.

Being able to recognise an arithmetic sequence is another skill that you need to develop. The key idea here is that the successive terms in an arithmetic sequence differ by a constant amount ‘Using a graphics calculator’ (the common difference). boxes within chapters explain Example 1 Testing for an arithmetic sequence a Is the sequence 20, 17, 14, 11, 8,...arithmetic?

Scores on tests of verbal and mathematical ability are linearly related with: rmathematical, verbal =+0.275

Determine the value of the coefficient of determination, write it in percentage terms, and interpret. In this relationship, mathematical ability is the DV.

Solution a wealth of worked examples The coefficient of determination is: r 2 = (0.275)2 = 0.0756 ... or 0.076 × 100 = 7.6% that support theory explanations Therefore, only 7.6% of the variation observed in scores on the test of mathematical ability can be explained by the variation in scores obtained on the test of verbal ability. within chapters Clearly, scores on the verbal ability test are not good predictors of the scores on the mathematical ability test; 92.4% of the variation in mathematical ability is explained by other factors. carefully graduated exercises Exercise 4G 1 For each of the following values of r, calculate the value of the coefficient of determination and convert to a percentage (correct to one decimal place). that include a number of easier a r = 0.675 b r = 0.345 c r =−0.567 d r =−0.673 e r = 0.124

Coefficient of determination (r2) The transformation which results in a linear relationship each chapter provide students and which has the highest value of the coefficient of determination is considered to be the best transformation. The circle of transformations The circle of transformations provides guidance in with a coherent overview choosing the transformations that can be used to linearise various types of scatterplots. See page 166.
