Question 3.
What are the basis/types of classification?
Solution:

  1. Chronological classification
  2. Geographical classification
  3. Qualitative classification
  4. Quantitative classification.

Question 4.
Give the formula of Sturge’s to find the number of classes. Or Give the formula used to determine the number of classes.
Solution:
The numbers of classes are obtained using Sturges’s Rule: k = 1 + 3.22 log N;
N-number of items.

Question 5.
For what purpose is correction factor used in frequency distribution?
Solution:
To get a better continuity between the class interval of a frequency distribution exclusive class intervals are used, so, if the frequency distribution is in inclusive class intervals isconverted into exclusive class intervals using correction factor.

Question 6.
What are the guidelines of classification?
Solution:
following are some guidelines following while classification:

  • The number of classes should generally between 4 and 15.
  • Exclusive classes should be formed for better continuity between the class intervals.
  • The width of the classes should be usually kept constant throughout the distribution.
  • Avoid open-end classes.
  • The classes should be arranged in ascending or descending order.
  • The lower limit of the first class should be either ‘o’ or multiple of 5.

Question 7.
Define the term tabulation

1st PUC Statistics Classification and Tabulation Five Marks Questions and Answers

Question 1.
Explain chronological classification and geographical classification of data with examples.
Solution:
Temporal/Chronological classification: when the data enumerated over a different period of time, the type of classification is called chronological classification. The above type of classification is called as time series, e.g. Time series of the population, is listed in chronological order starting with the earliest period.

1st PUC Statistics Question Bank Chapter 3 Classification and Tabulation - 1
Geographical classification :
In this type of classification the data are classified on the basis of geographical or locational or area wise differences between various items. Such as cities, districts, states etc. e.g., production of sugar in India may be presented state wise in the following manner:-

Solution:
Qualitative classification: Classification of the different units on the basis of qualitative characteristics (Called Attributes). Such as sex, literacy, employment etc.
e. g., the members of a club can be classified on the basis of sex wise distribution as follows:-

Question 3.
Define the following terms :
i. Frequency, class frequency:
Solution:
Frequency refers to the number of times an observation repeated (f). The number of observations corresponding to a particular class is known as the class Frequency Class frequency is a positive integer including zero

ii. Class limits:
Solution:
Class limits- Lowest and the highest values that are taken to define the boundaries of the class are called class limits

iii. Range of the class: It is the difference between highest and lowest value in the data, i.e., Range = H.V. – L.V.

iv. Width of the class: The difference between the upper and lower limits of class called width of the class. It is denoted by c or i.
i/c = Upper limit(UL) – Lower limit(LL)

v. Class mid point
Solution:
The central value of a class called mid value/point; \(\mathrm{m} / \mathrm{x}=\frac{\mathrm{LL}+\mathrm{UL}}{2}\)

vi. Define Frequency Density:
Solution:
The frequency per unit of class interval is the frequency density.
i.e. frequency density = \(\frac{\text { Frequency the class }}{\text { width of the class }}=f / w\)

vii. Relative frequency:
Solution:
Relative frequency.. is the ratio of frequency of class to the total frequency of the distribution
Relative Frequency \(\frac{\mathrm{f}}{\mathrm{N}}\)

viii. Class interval-inclusive, exclusive and open-end classes:
Solution:
If in a class, lower as well as upper limits are included in the same class are called Inclusive class
e. g. 30-39,40-49….
If in a class, the lower limit is included in the same class and upper limit is included in the next class, such a class is called Exclusive class, eg. 30-40, 40-50…
If in a class, the lower and upper limits of the class is not specified are called open end classes” e.g. less than/below, or more than/ above 100

ix. Cumulative frequency- less than and more than cumulative frequency:
Solution:
The added up frequencies are called cumulative frequencies.
The number of observations with values less than upper limit is less than cumulative frequency. (l.c.f) i.e. Frequencies added from the top.
The number of observations with values more than lower class limit is more than cumulative frequency (m.c.f)

x. Correction factor:
Solution:
It is half of the difference between lower limit of a class and upper limit of the preceding class. Thus,
Solution:
Correction facctor (C.F) = \(\frac{\text { Lower limit of a class-Upper limit of the precending class }}{2}\)

xi. A Frequency distribution Discrete, Continuous, Bi-variate, Marginal
Solution:
A systematic presentation of the values taken by a variable and the corresponding frequencies is called frequency is called Frequency distribution.
While framing a frequency distribution, if class intervals are not considered, is called discrete frequency distribution.
1. Example:
The number of families according to number of children .
1st PUC Statistics Question Bank Chapter 3 Classification and Tabulation - 5
While framing a frequency distribution, if class intervals are considered, is called continuous frequency distribution.

2. Example:
The following table showing the weight (kgs.) of persons
1st PUC Statistics Question Bank Chapter 3 Classification and Tabulation - 6
A frequency distribution formed on the basis of two related variables is called bi-variate frequency distribution.
For example, we want to classify data relating to the Height and Weights of a group of individuals, Income and Expenditure of a group of individuals, Ages of Husbands and Wives, Ages of mothers and Number of children, etc .
In a Bivariate frequency distribution, the frequency distribution of only one of the variables is considered, it is marginal frequency distribution.

Elucidate the difference between classification and tabulation.
Solution:
Comparison between Classification and Tabulation:-
The following points may be given as comparison:

  • Classification and Tabulation are not two distinct processes. Before tabulation, data are classified and then displayed under different columns and rows of a table.
  • Classification is the process of arranging the data in to groups or classes according to common characteristics possessed by the items of the data;
    Whereas Tabulation is a process of systematic arrangement of the classified data in rows and columns, in the form of a table.
  • Table contains precise and accurate information, where as classification gives only a classified groups of data.
  • Classification reduces the size of the data and brings the similarities together and tabulation facilitates comparison, reveal the trend and tendencies of the data.
