2. Presentation of Data
Objectives: At the end of the lesson,
the students should be able to:
1. Prepare a stem-and-leaf plot
2. Describe data in textual form
3. Construct frequency distribution table
4. Create graphs
5. Read and interpret graphs and tables

3. Ungrouped vs. Grouped Data
Data can be classified as grouped or
ungrouped.
Ungrouped data are data that are not
organized, or if arranged, could only be
from highest to lowest or lowest to
highest.
Grouped data are data that are
organized and arranged into different
classes or categories.

5. Textual Presentation of Data
Data can be presented using
paragraphs or sentences. It involves
enumerating important characteristics,
emphasizing significant figures and
identifying important features of data.

6. Textual Presentation of Data
Example. You are asked to present the
performance of your section in the
Statistics test. The following are the
test scores of your class:
34 42 20 50 17 9 34 43
50 18 35 43 50 23 23 35
37 38 38 39 39 38 38 39
24 29 25 26 28 27 44 44
49 48 46 45 45 46 45 46
MCPegollo/Basic Statistics/SRSTHS
7. Solution
First, arrange the data in order for you to
identify the important characteristics. This
can be done in two ways: rearranging from
lowest to highest or using the stem-and-leaf
plot.
Below is the rearrangement of data from lowest
to highest:
9 23 28 35 38 43 45 48
17 24 29 37 39 43 45 49
18 25 34 38 39 44 46 50
20 26 34 38 39 44 46 50
23 27 35 38 42 45 46 50
MCPegollo/Basic Statistics/SRSTHS
8. With the rearranged data, pertinent data
worth mentioning can be easily
recognized. The following is one way
of presenting data in textual form.
In the Statistics class of 40
students, 3 obtained the perfect score
of 50. Sixteen students got a score of
40 and above, while only 3 got 19 and
below. Generally, the students
performed well in the test with 23 or
70% getting a passing score of 38 and
MCPegollo/Basic Statistics/SRSTHS
9. Another way of rearranging data is by
making use of the stem-and-leaf plot.
What is a stem-and-leaf plot?
Stem-and-leaf Plot is a table which
sorts data according to a certain pattern. It
involves separating a number into two parts.
In a two-digit number, the stem consists of
the first digit, and the leaf consists of the
second digit. While in a three-digit number,
the stem consists of the first two digits, and
the leaf consists of the last digit. In a one-
digit number, the stem is zero.
MCPegollo/Basic Statistics/SRSTHS
10. Below is the stem-and-leaf plot of the
ungrouped data given in the example.
Stem Leaves
0 9
1 7,8
2 0,3,3,4,5,6,7,8,9
3 4,4,5,5,7,8,8,8,8,9,9,9
4 2,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,6,6,6,8,9
5 0,0,0
Utilizing the stem-and-leaf plot, we can readily see the
order of the data. Thus, we can say that the top ten
got scores 50, 50, 50, 49, 48, 46, 46, 46,45, and 45
and the ten lowest scores are 9, 17, 18, 20,
MCPegollo/Basic Statistics/SRSTHS
23,23,24,25,26, and 27.

Prepare a stem-and-leaf plot and
present in textual form.

13. Frequency Distribution Table
A frequency distribution table is a table
which shows the data arranged into
different classes(or categories) and
the number of cases(or frequencies)
which fall into each class.
The following is an illustration of a
frequency distribution table for
ungrouped data:

27. Guidelines For Frequency Tables
1. Be sure that the classes are mutually exclusive.
2. Include all classes, even if the frequency is zero.
3. Try to use the same width for all classes.
4. Select convenient numbers for class limits.
5. Use between 5 and 20 classes.
6. The sum of the class frequencies must equal the
number of original data values.
28. Constructing A Frequency Table
1. Decide on the number of classes .
2. Determine the class width by dividing the range by the number of
classes (range = highest score - lowest score) and round
up. range
class width round up of
number of classes
3. Select for the first lower limit either the lowest score or a
convenient value slightly less than the lowest score.
4. Add the class width to the starting point to get the second lower
class limit, add the width to the second lower limit to get the
third, and so on.
5. List the lower class limits in a vertical column and enter the
upper class limits.
6. Represent each score by a tally mark in the appropriate class.
Total tally marks to find the total frequency for each class.
29. Homework

classmates’ fathers, include your own.
Construct a frequency distribution table for
the data gathered using grouped and
ungrouped data.
What are the advantages and
disadvantages of using ungrouped

What are the advantages and
disadvantages of using grouped

MCPegollo/Basic Statistics/SRSTHS
Editor's Notes
Data presented in a grouped frequency distribution are easier to analyze and to describe. However, the identity of individual score is lost due to grouping.
