CHAPTER 7:

SUMMARIZING IT ALL
COUNTING OUT
• COUNT- gives you the amount of those cells that contain numerical
data
• COUNTA- works likes count, except that it tally includes cells that
contains text and logical values in its tally
• COUNTBLANK- count the number of blank cells in an array
• COUNTIF- shows the number of cells whose value meets a
specified criteria
• COUNTIFS- this function can use multiple criteria to determine the
count
 THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT
• MAX ignores any text or logical values it encounters along
the way. MAXA takes text and logical values into account
when it finds the maximum. If MAXA encounters the logical
value TRUE, it converts that value to 1. MAXA converts
FALSE, or any text other than “TRUE”, to 0.
• MIN and MINA work the same way as MAX and MAXA,
except that they find the minimum rather than the
maximum. Take care when you use MINA, because the
conversions of logical values and text to 0 and 1 influence
the result.
SKEW AND SKEW.P

• Skewness indicates how symmetrically the scores are

distributed.
• Skew.p is the skewness of the population.
Note:
• <.5 Symmetric Positive : Skewed to the Right
• .5-1 Slightly skewness Negative : Skewed to the left
• 1 Very skewed
KURT
• The kurtosis is leptokurtic if it is positive,
platykurtic if negative and mesokurtic if
zero or close to zero.
• Kurtosis also means how pointed is the
bellshape
TURNING IN THE FREQUENCY
• Frequency distribution is a table that
divides the possible scores into
intervals and shows the number (the
frequency) of scores that fall into each
interval.
• Frequency- how many times each
score occurs
DATA ANALYSIS TOOL: HISTOGRAM
• HISTOGRAM- A histogram is a common data analysis tool in
the business world. It’s a column chart that shows the
frequency of the occurrence of a variable in the specified
range.
• According to Investopedia , a Histogram is a graphical
representation, similar to a bar chart in structure, that
organizes a group of data points into user-specified ranges.
The histogram condenses a data series into an easily
interpreted visual by taking many data points and grouping
them into logical ranges or bins.
DATA ANALYSIS TOOL: DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
• Descriptive Statistics tool gives values for these statistics: mean, standard
error, median, mode, standard deviation, sample variance, kurtosis, skewness,
range, minimum, maximum, sum, and count. Except for standard error and
range.
1. Enter the data into an array.
2. Select Data | Data Analysis to open the Data Analysis dialog box.
3. Choose Descriptive Statistics to open the Descriptive Statistics dialog box.
• Range is just the difference between the maximum and the minimum.
• standard error is the standard deviation divided by the square root of the
sample size and leave it at that.
BE QUICK ABOUT IT!
• Quick analysis select a range of data, and an icon
appears in the lower-right corner of the selection.
Clicking the icon opens numerous possibilities for
visualizing and summarizing the selected data.
Mousing over these possibilities gives you a preview
of what they look like. Selecting one puts it into
your worksheet.
 INSTANT STATISTICS
• Ìnstant statistics can customize the
Status bar at the bottom of the
worksheet to track these values for
you and display them whenever you
select the cell range.
ACTIVITY 1 Below are the player’s score from the game last night. Identify the Kurtosis, Skewness,
Minimum, Maximum and the Count of the given set of data.
