Chap 2: Presenting Data in Tables & Charts Excel Tutorial
Analysis Tool Pack • In order to obtain Data analysis option (which contains various statistical functions) in your Excel menu you need to install “Analysis Tool Pack” • In order to Install ITP follow the following commands
Press ok. This will add the option of Data Analysis in the Tools menu
Example 2.12 (pg # 57) • Using Excel to make • Frequency Distribution • Percentage Distribution • Cumulative Percentage Distribution • Solution: • We take the class interval as 7. Which means that there will be 7 classes in the frequency distribution of electricity costs during the month of July for the sample of 50 one-bedroom apartments.
Class boundaries will be prepared manually using the drag option according to the interval of 19
To find the frequencies select the frequency column. Do not select the label !! Then Press the functions button and choose the option of Frequency
Select the data array. Costs of electricity bills of 50 houses (A2:A51)
Add the range of upper class boundaries In the bins array . (H2:H8) Press ctrl + Shift + Enter DO NOT PRESS OK !!
Frequency Distribution of electricity costs of 50 one-bedroom apartments during the month of July 2001.
Calculate the midpoints of the classes by taking the average of UCB and LCB of each class M.P of First class = (100.5 + 81.5)/2 = 91
To calculate the relative frequency we divide the frequency of the class with the total frequency. For example R.F of first class = 4/50 (G3/G$10) We add the dollar sign so that the denominator stays the same when we drag the cursor down
To calculate the “relative percentages” we multiply the R.F’s by 100
C.P shows the % of values falling below a particular class. C.P for the first class is 0. For remaining classes it is obtained by adding R.P and C.P of the previous class
Different graphs and charts are used for the graphical presentation of data. In this demonstration we shall cover • Histogram • Percentage Polygons • Cumulative Percentage Polygon • Bar Chart • Pie Chart • Pareto Diagram
For making • Histogram • Percentage Polygon • Cumulative Percentage Polygon Which are the graphical tools for presenting Quantitative Data We use example 2.12 on page 57
Select the input range as the 50 sample values Select the Upper class boundaries as the bin range Check the chart output check box PRESS OK
This is the Histogram for the data but it requires some adjustments as there should be no gaps between the bars of the Histogram
Right click on the bars of the Histogram and select the option of Format Data series
Percentage Polygon is formed by having the midpoint of each class represent the data in that class and then connecting the sequence of midpoints at their respective class percentages.
Choose the chart wizard from the main menu. Select line graphs and then select the first option In the second row for making the line graphs and then click next.
Select Series option. In Category (X) axis labels enter the mid points range. Then Click Next
Add titles for the X and Y axis series and the chart titles. Then click finish
Enhance the diagram by removing unwanted labels and using better coloring. Optionally, to remove/change background color, select the graph – right click – select Format Plot Area
