Biostatistics
(Collection of Data)
Step 1. Arrange data in order
In the first step we will collect data in excel and arrange it in order (smallest to largest) as
shown in column A known as Height:
To organize the data in order, I have selected the data by first by clicking and dragging the
cursor on the data than go into the Data option as shown in following picture:
Than click sort filter (sort smallest to largest).
Step 2: Calculate the Range
After step no; 01 We have to calculate the range for this process, we place it in column B
and use the formula to find it. Formula: (max-min) then we putted the values into formula.
Range = max-min
Range = 5.6-4.10 = 1.5
The range is 1.5.
After finding the range, we need find the interval or bin. To find the bin we have to square
root “√”of data section.
√34= 5.83 approximately 6 which means max: bins must be 6.
Step 3: Find the Width
To find the width we use the following formula.
Width = Range/Bins
Width = 1.5/6 = 0.25
Step 4: Intervals or Bins
We can put the data in 6 bins or intervals because we have found the value of interval or
bins. Now we will place the data in bins. For this 1st we will place the min: value and having
that the value of width.
Min: value = 4.1, Width = 0.25
4.1+0.25 = 4.35
Note: The max: value of 1st bin is the min: value of 2nd bin. We repeat this process in all the
bins.
Step 5 : Find the Frequency
Frequency means the no: of individual fallen in the data section.
We find the frequency separately for each bin.
For finding the frequency, we look at the data set and find the individual data point within
the value of 1st bin having that 2nd so on in the same way.
Step 6 : Find the Relative frequency
To find the relative frequency we use the following formula:
RF = F/N x 100 = Relative Frequency
F = Frequency 1
N = Total Data Points
4/34 x 100 = 11.76…
Step 7 : Find the Cumulative frequency
To find the cumulative frequency we use the following formula:
CF = F+NF
To find the relative frequency, we add the 1st frequency into 2nd , having that 2nd into 3rd. so
on.
Step 8 : Find the Relative Cumulative frequency
To find the relative cumulative frequency (RCF) we use the following formula:
RCF = CF/N x 100
