○ Easy to
■ Determine comparisons
■ Absorb information
● Pie Chart - Used as a proportional visual display
○ Easy to
■ See visual representations
■ Wedges represent portion of a whole
○ Hard to
■ See quantitative data
● Example 01: Pie chart of transportation (no numerical values given
○ Bus > Car = Cycle > Walk > Taxi

■ Q. How many get their news by newspaper? ANS. 10
● Contingency Tables - has two variables, particularly two categorical ones.
○ Marginal Questions - only asks for one variable, not both.
■ Determined by looking at values outside of margins
○ Joint Questions - only asks for two variables, not one
■ Determined by looking at values inside the margins
■ Keyword x “and” y
○ Conditional Questions - fixes on one variable while determining the other
■ Keywords “Out of the x” or “Among the x”
○ Example for Contingency Tables 01

■ Q. Among women, proportion in favour? ANS. 225/(225+180+45)
TUTORIAL 03
Spread IQR:
● Range between 1st and 3rd quartile = Q3 - Q1
● Range - a distance between minimum and maximum
● Boxplot fences
○ Lower fence = Q1 - 1.5*IQR
○ Upper fence = Q3 + 1.5*IQR
● Shape
○ Symmetric - mean = median
○ Skew to right - mean > median
○ Skew to the left - mean < median
Ex. Data 2, 7, 3, 4, 3, 5, 11
1. Sort Data - 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11
2. Median - middle value = 4
3. Q1 - median of 1st half of the data = 3
4. Q3 - median of 2nd half of the data = (5+7)/2 = 6
5. IQR = Q3 - Q1 = 6-3 = 3
6. Fences
a. Lower Fence = Q1 - 1.5IQR = 3 - 1.5*3 = -1.5
i. NOTE: If value is negative or very far off, choose the closest number that is in your given data
points.
b. Upper Fences = Q3 - 1.5IQR = 6 + 1.5*3 = 10.5
7. Draw boxplot
