Frequency Polygons

Learning Objectives Create and interpret frequency polygons Create and interpret cumulative frequency polygons Create and interpret overlaid frequency polygons Frequency polygons are a graphical device for understanding the shapes of distributions. They serve the same purpose as histograms, but are especially helpful for comparing sets of data. Frequency polygons are also a good choice for displaying cumulative frequency distributions . To create a frequency polygon, start just as for histograms , by choosing a class interval. Then draw an X-axis representing the values of the scores in your data. Mark the middle of each class interval with a tick mark, and label it with the middle value represented by the class. Draw the Y-axis to indicate the frequency of each class. Place a point in the

Lognormal distribution

Lognormal Distribution Probability Density Function A variable X is lognormally distributed if Y = LN(X) is normally distributed with "LN" denoting the natural logarithm. The general formula for the  probability density function  of the lognormal distribution is where   is the  shape parameter ,   is the  location parameter  and  m is the  scale parameter . The case where   = 0 and  m  = 1 is called the  standard lognormal distribution . The case where   equals zero is called the 2-parameter lognormal distribution. The equation for the standard lognormal distribution is Since the general form of probability functions can be  expressed in terms of the standard distribution , all subsequent formulas in this section are given for the standard form of the function. The following is the plot of the lognormal probability density function for four values of  . There are several common parameterizations of the lognormal distribution. The form given here is from  Evans, Ha

Basics of Sampling Techniques

Population                A   population   is a group of individuals(or)aggregate of objects under study.It is also known as universe. The population is divided by (i)finite population  (ii)infinite population, (iii) hypothetical population,  subject to a statistical study . A population includes each element from the set of observations that can be made. (i) Finite population : A population is called finite if it is possible to count its individuals. It may also be called a countable population. The number of vehicles crossing a bridge every day, (ii) Infinite population : Sometimes it is not possible to count the units contained in the population. Such a population is called infinite or uncountable. ex, The number of germs in the body of a patient of malaria is perhaps something which is uncountable   (iii) Hypothetical population : Statistical population which has no real existence but is imagined to be generated by repetitions of events of a certain typ
