    Summary Tables

    Summary tables are a tool used in descriptive statistics to summarize either categorical or numerical variables in a tabular format. Collected data can be organized in these tables and this data is usually either characteristic of frequencies or counted values. Utilizing a summary table is practical in statistics because different tests, such as a Chi-square test, and various measures can be assessed and interpreted to gather meaningful results. A frequency distribution is a regularly used type of summary table in statistics. Basically, a frequency distribution organizes data by splitting it up into different categories and indicating the value associated with each individual category. Additionally, a frequency distribution only looks at the tabulated frequencies for the different categories of one variable at a time. For example, if a teacher was calculating the different hair colours of all her students, the variable in this case would be hair colour and the categories would be all the different colours recorded from the students. When working with more than one variable, a frequency distribution cannot be used, and instead a contingency table is required. A contingency table is another kind of summary table which looks at the relationship between multiple categorical variables. Using different tests, statistical significance between the different variables can be tested. Essentially, a contingency table is just a more complex version of a frequency distribution. The use of summary tables is integral to the practice of statistics. For example, when conducting hypothesis tests, a summary table is a common starting point which assists in understanding what relationships are being tested in the null hypothesis. Thus, maintaining a basic understanding of summary tables is necessary to properly analyze data and conduct measures of significance. © BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com March 18, 2024, 5:40 pm ad1c9bdddf

    Range Rule of Thumb

    The Range Rule of Thumb is based on the insight that the range is often approximately 4 times as large as the standard deviation. This insight enables you to quickly estimate the standard deviation of a data set by finding the maximum and minimum data values, using them to compute the range, and then dividing this value by 4.
