Organisation of Data Worksheets Class 11 Economics
1. Classification of Data: The process of grouping data according to their characteristics is known as classification of data.
2. Objectives of Classification:
a] To simplify complex data
b] To facilitate understanding
c] To facilitate comparison
d] To make analysis and interpretation easy.
e] To arrange and put the data according to their common characteristics.
3. Statistical Series: Systematic arrangement of statistical data
I. Can be on the basis of individual units :
The data can be individually presented in two forms:
i] Raw data: Data collected in original form.
ii] Individual Series: The arrangement of raw data individually. It can be expressed in two ways.
a] Alphabetical arrangement : Alphabetical order
b] Array: Ascending or descending order.
II. Can be on the basis of Frequency Distribution:
Frequency distribution refers to a table in which observed values of a variable are classified according to their numerical magnitude.
1. Discrete Series: A variable is called discrete if the variable can take only some particular values.
2. Continuous Series: A variable is called continuous if it can take any value in a given range. In constructing continuous series we come across terms like:
a] Class : Each given internal is called a class e.g., 0-5, 5-10.
b] Class limit: There are two limits upper limit and lower limit.
c] Class interval: Difference between upper limit and lower limit.
d] Range: Difference between upper limit and lower limit.
e] Mid-point or Mid Value: (Upper limit – Lower limit)/2
f] Frequency: Number of items [observations] falling within a particular class.
i] Exclusive Series: Excluding the upper limit of these classes, all the items of the class are included in the class itself. E.g., :
ii] Inclusive Series: Upper class limits of classes are included in the respective classes. E.g.,
Open End Classes : The lower limit of the first class and upper limit of the last class are not given. E.g.,
iii] Cumulative Frequency Series: It is obtained by successively adding the frequencies of the values of the classes according to a certain law.
a] ‘Less than’ Cumulative Frequency Distribution :
The frequencies of each class-internal are added successively.
b] ‘More than’ Cumulative Frequency Distribution:
The more than cumulative frequency is obtained by finding the cumulative totals of frequencies starting from the highest value of the variable to the lowest value.
E.g., :
