Answer:
The four kinds of classifications used in tabulation are as follows:
(a) Qualitative classification
(b) Quantitative classification
(c) Temporal classification
(d) Spatial classification.

Question 2.
What is quantitative classification? Give an example.
Answer:
Quantitative classification is that classification where certain characteristics are measured quantitatively. For example, age, height, production, income, etc.

Question 3.
Write the meaning of temporal classification with an example.

Question 5.
Whether the data represented by a component bar diagram, can also be represented by a pie chart? Explain.
Answer:
A pie diagram is also a component diagram, but unlike a bar diagram, here it is a circle whose area is proportionally divided among the components it represents. So the data represented by a component bar diagram can also be represented by a pie chart.

Question 6.
The only requirement being that absolute values of the components have to convert into percentages before they can be used for a pie diagram.
Answer:
The frequency curve is obtained by drawing a smooth freehand curve passing through the points of the frequency polygon as closely as possible. It may not necessarily pass through all the points of the frequency polygon but it passes through them as closely as possible.

Question 7.
How do you obtain an arithmetic line graph?
Answer:
In an arithmetic line graph, time is plotted along the x-axis and the value of the variable is measured on the y-axis. The Aline graph is constructed by joining the plotted points to get the arithmetic line graph. It helps in understanding the trend, periodicity, etc., in long-term time-series data.

VI. Answer the following in about twenty sentences

Question 1.
What is tabulation? What are the parts of a table? Explain. (S – 2018)
Answer:
When data is represented in rows and columns, it is called tabulation. To construct a table, it is important to know the different components of a good statistical table. When all the components are put together systematically, they form a table.

Tabulation can be done using one way. two way or three-way classification depending upon the number of characteristics involved. A good table should have the following parts:
(a) Table number: The table number is given to a table for identification purposes. If more than one table is presented, it is the table number that distinguishes one table from another. It is given at the top or at the beginning of the title of the table.

(b) Title: The title of the table gives about the contents of the table. It has to be very clear, brief, and carefully worded, so information interpretations made from the table are clear and free from any confusion.

(c) Captions: These are the column headings given as designations to explain the figures of the column.

(d) Stubs: These are headings given to row s of the table. The designations of the row-s are also called stubs or stub items and the left column is known as the stub column.

(e) Body of the table: It is the main part and it contains the actual data. The location of anyone data in the table is fixed and determined by the row and column of the table.

(f) Headnote/Unit of measurement: The units of measurement of the figures in the table should always be stated along with the title. If figures are large, they should be rounded off and the method of rounding should be indicated.

(g) Source: It is a brief statement or phrase indicating the source of data presented in the table. If more than one source is there, all the sources are to be mentioned.

(h) Note: It is the last part of the table. It explains the specific feature of the data content of the table which is not self-explanatory and has not been explained earlier.

Question 2.

Question 3.
Explain the method of constructing a frequency polygon with an example.
Answer:
A frequency polygon is a plane bounded by straight lines, usually four or more lines. A frequency polygon is an alternative to the histogram and is also derived from the histogram itself.

A frequency polygon can be fitted to a histogram for studying the shape, of the curve. The simplest method of drawing a frequency polygon is to join the -midpoints of the topside of the consecutive rectangles of the histogram. It leaves us with the two ends away from the baseline, denying the calculation of the area under the curve. The solution is to join the two endpoints thus obtained to the baseline at the mid values of the two classes with zero frequency immediately at each end of the distribution.

A frequency polygon is the most common method of presenting grouped frequency distribution. Both class boundaries and class marks can be used along the X-axis, the distances between two consecutive class marks are proportional to the width of the class intervals. Plotting of data becomes easier if the class marks fall on the heavy lines of the graph sheet.

No matter whether class boundaries or midpoints are used in the X-axis, frequencies are always plotted against the midpoint of class intervals. When all the points have been plotted in the graph, they are carefully jointed by a series of short straight lines.

Question 4.
Explain ogive with proper diagrams.
Answer:
Ogive is also called cumulative frequency curve. As there are two types of cumulative frequencies, for example, ‘less than’ type and ‘more than’ type, accordingly there are two ogives for any grouped frequency distribution data. Here in the place of simple frequencies as in the case of frequency polygon, cumulative frequencies are plotted along Y-axis against class limits of the frequency distribution. For ‘less than’ ogives the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the respective upper limits of the class intervals whereas for more than ogives the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the respective lower limits of the class interval.

An interesting characteristic of the two ogives together is that their intersection point gives the median of the frequency distribution. The following graph represents the ogives. As the shapes of the two ogives suggest, ‘less than ogive is never decreasing and ‘more than’ ogive is never increasing.

Question 6.
How does the procedure of drawing a histogram differ when class intervals are unequal in corn parasol to equal class intervals iii a frequency table?
Answer:
If the class intervals are of equal width. which they generally are, the area of the rectangles are proportional to their respective frequencies. When the intervals are equal. that is. when all rectangles have the same base, the area can conveniently be represented by the frequency of any interval for purposes of comparison.

When class intervals are unequal, the heights of rectangles are to be adjusted to yield comparable measurements, Here, the frequency density is considered instead of absolute frequency

For example, when tabulating deaths by age at death, it would be er meaningful as e1l as useful to have very shortage intervals at the beginning when death rates are even high compared to deaths at most other higher age segments of the population

Question 7.
The Indian Sugar Mills Association reported that sugar production during the first fortnight of December 2001 was about 3,87,000 tonnes as against 3,78,000 tonnes during the same fortnight the previous year (2000). The off-take of sugar from factories during the first fortnight of December 2001 was 2,83,000 tonnes for internal consumption and 41,000 tonnes for exports as against 1,54,000 tonnes for internal consumption and nil for exports during the same fortnight in 2000.

(b) To represent the above data diagrammatically, a compound bar graph can be used. This is because a compound bar diagram shows the bar and its subdivisions into two or more. components. A compound bar diagram also contains different components. In the above example, production, consumption, and exports can be represented in a vertical compound bar graph by adding them respectively.

Question 8.
What is a histogram?
Answer:
It is a two-dimensional diagram. It is a set of rectangles with the base as the intervals between class boundaries (X-axis) and with areas proportional to the class frequency.

Question 9.
What is a frequency curve?
Answer:
The frequency curve is obtained by drawing a smooth freehand curve passing through the points of the frequency polygon as closely as possible.

Question 10.
What do you mean by ogive?
Answer:
It is also known as the cumulative frequency curve. There are two types of cumulative frequencies viz., Tess than’ type and ‘more than’ type and there are two ogives for any grouped frequency- distribution data. For ‘less than’ ogives, the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the respective upper units of the class intervals whereas for ‘more than’ ogives the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the respective lower limits of the class interval.

Question 11.
What is an arithmetic line graph?
Answer:
It is also called a time-series graph. Here, time (years, moths, weeks, etc.) is plotted along ‘x’ axis and the value of the variable along the ‘y’ axis.
