Calculating the mean of a histogram

  • The process used to find the mean of a set of data in which the values are labeled as intervals. This video only specifically applies to equal class width histograms. This is Not a type of Frequency Density histogram. If you are looking for that type of calculation I have another video for that. I repeat this is not a video that covers a frequency density histogram.

    Over complicated it could of just said multiply the middle of each class interval by the frequency and then divide that number by all the frequencies added up

    The y-axis on a histogram is frequency-density, so the tallest bar is not necessarily the one with the most ones. (A very wide bar with the largest frequency would look shorter than a thin bar with not that many, even though more people were in the shorter bar)

    • @dminger1
      @dminger1  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      When using univariate data, that is separated into equal class widths. It is not necessary to create a frequency density histogram. Yes I know when you do your studies many times teachers will focus on Frequency Density histograms, however, the reason for that is it allows for better comparison to other data sets. This is not what this video aimed at, this I a basic 7th grade Algebra I histogram. I made this video specifically for my students who were prepping for our state exam that could potentially require them to calculate the mean of a univariate data histogram of equal class width. The important part of this video is that my class widths are all equal. If my class widths were not equal then you would be correct that I must label the Vertical axis Frequency Density.

    • @dminger1
      @dminger1  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The answer is dependent on how you determine your class intervals. Here is a site you can look to see that there are three different ways to group your classes and the y-axis is labeled based upon those. newonlinecourses.science.psu.edu/stat414/node/120/

    THE ONE ON THE SIDE FREQUENCY DENSITY NOT THE FREQUENCY

    • @dminger1
      @dminger1  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Phoebe Cotes You do not label a histogram as frequency density when you have class-widths of equal length. I will relinquish to you the fact that in higher level statistics courses that yes a “true” histogram should technically be the frequency density. However it is not an absolute requirement to do so when the intervals are of equivalent length. So the video and all of its mathematical processes are correct and labeling the y-axis as frequency is not technically wrong. The concept of frequency density is important but as stated in the video this is a basic level problem. So there is no need to talk about density for this level of problem

      Only if you want a density histogram. There three types of histograms. The purpose of a histogram is mainly to show continuous data. The three types are a frequency histogram, a relative frequency histogram, and a density histogram. It depends on how you wish to represent the data.

    How would u determine the size of an individual class.
    For example find the size of the 2nd class
    45-59 with a frequency of 30

    • @dminger1
      @dminger1  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If the second class has a data range of 45-59, what you do is subtract the two numbers 59-45= 14, however, class sizes must include all applicable numbers in the class so what we do is add 1 to the value so the second class has a class width of 15. Based on your question about size of the actual class the frequency of the individual class is just extra information in the problem intended to confuse you from the question at hand. On the other hand, if you meant that you have a total sample size of 30 data pieces that span from value in 45-59. Then that is something different.
