Building tables from data<\/h3>\r\n

Displaying frequency tables for small datasets might be feasible by hand, but we need technology to display frequency tables for larger datasets.<\/p>\r\nLet\u2019s use technology to create a frequency table to understand the variable Enjoy Music<\/em> for all [latex]1,007[\/latex] students included in the survey. Follow these steps:\r\n

\r\n\r\nGo to the data analysis tool\u00a0 Describing and Exploring Categorical Data<\/em>\u00a0 at\u00a0https:\/\/dcmathpathways.shinyapps.io\/EDA_categorical\/<\/a>\r\n

Step 1) Select the\u00a0One Categorical Variable<\/strong> tab.<\/p>\r\n

Step 2)\u00a0Locate the dropdown under Enter Data<\/strong>\u00a0and select From Textbook<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Step 3) Locate the dropdown under Dataset<\/strong> and select Young Adults: Enjoy Music<\/strong>.\u00a0 The frequency table will appear to the right. It will be\u00a0\u00a0easier to read if the categories are presented in order. Follow Steps 4 and 5 below to rearrange it if needed.<\/p>\r\nTo rearrange the frequency table in numerical order from 1 to 5:\r\n

Step 4) Select the Customize Order<\/strong> box under Options<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n

Step 5) Locate the Choose Order of Categories<\/strong> box and sequentially select 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nRefer to the frequency table you just created to answer Questions 3 and 4.\r\n

Bar graphs and pie charts provide visual summaries of data that help us quickly identify how the individual category frequencies relate to one another and to the total count.","rendered":"
