Nominal/Qualitative/Categorical data (freqs,bar graph, Pareto)
https://davidwills.us/stat200/nominalData.html
Copy and paste the birth days data
n=______
Which day has the most births: ____ #___ ____% the modal category
Which day has the fewest births: ____ #___ ____%
What is the sorting order:_______________ (how is it sorted?)
Write the frequency distribution table, with relative frequencies too.
In days-of-the-week order. because that's what we're used to.
DAY #births RelFreq

Look at the Pareto chart.
Sketch it:
Annotate each category's bar with its frequency.
Is it a uniform distribution (i.e. every day equally likely),
or is there a "pattern" _____________________________________
Partition the data into two categories: weekday and weekend.
Weekday %=________ ==proportion of the data of this combined category
Weekend %=________
Think. This can be done with one addition and one subtraction.
Weekend days are 2/7 of the days of the week, 2/7=______
hmmm are the weekend births significantly different from 2/7?
Later we will do a chi-squared test of goodness-of-fit to test this. Stay tuned!
Generate a qualitative data set of at least 6 categories of some realistic situation
and totaling at least 30 responses.
Write the frequency distribution table, with relative frequencies too.
in a meanigful order if possible. because that will aid our understanding of it.
