The Role of Description
• Description as a purpose of research
• Choosing the right statistical procedures

Frequency Distributions
• A method of summarizing and highlighting aspects of the data in a data matrix, showing the frequency with which each value occurs.
• Numerical Representations: a tabular arrangement of scores
• Graphical Representations: a pictorial arrangement of scores

Numerical Frequency Distributions
• Ungrouped Frequency Distributions
• Grouped Frequency Distributions
• Relative Frequency Distributions
• Cumulative Frequency Distributions

Descriptive Statistics
• Central Tendency– Mode– Median– Mean
• Variability– Range– Standard Deviation– Variance
![Page 28: Topics: Descriptive Statistics A road map Examining data through frequency distributions Measures of central tendency Measures of variability The normal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d775503460f94a59d01/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Definitions: Measures of Central Tendency
• Mean:
– “Arithmetic mean”
– “Center of gravity” such that the “weight” of the scores above the mean exactly balances the “weight” of the scores below the mean
• Median:
– The number that lies at the midpoint of the distribution of scores; divides the distribution into two equal halves
• Mode:
– Most frequently occurring score

Definitions:Measures of Variability
• Range:
– Difference between highest and lowest score
• Inter-quartile Range:– The spread of the middle 50% of the scores
– The difference between the top 25% (Upper Quartile-Q3) and the lower 25% (Lower Quartile-Q1)
• Standard Deviation:– The average dispersion or deviation of scores around the mean (measured
in original score units)
• Variance:– The average variability of scores (measured in squared units of the
original scores (square of the standard deviation)

Properties of Normal Distribution
• Bell-shaped (unimodal)
• Symmetric about the mean
• Mode, median, and mean are equal (though rarely occurs)
• Asymptotic (curve never touches the abscissa)

Definitions: Standard Scores
• Standard Scores: scores expressed as SD away from the mean (z-scores)
• Obtained by finding how far a score is above or below the mean and dividing that difference by the SD
• Changes mean to 0 and SD to 1, but does not change the shape (called Standard Normal Distribution)
![Page 38: Topics: Descriptive Statistics A road map Examining data through frequency distributions Measures of central tendency Measures of variability The normal.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062407/56649d775503460f94a59d01/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Uses of Standard Normal Distribution
• What proportion of scores falls between the mean and a given raw score
• What proportion of scores falls above or below a given raw score
• What proportion of scores falls between two raw scores
• What raw score fall above (or below) a certain percentage of scores
