Organisation of Data.
| Individual Series | Discrete Series | Continuous Series |
|---|---|---|
| 1. There is always one frequency for each item. | 1. There is more than one frequency for each item. | 1. There is more than one frequency for each class-interval. |
Also, how do you find the mean of an individual series?
An individual data series is, therefore, a set of all observations of a given characteristic, usually in ascending order. The arithmetic mean for this series is calculated by summing the values of the observations and dividing the result by the number of observations.
Similarly, how do you convert an individual series to a discrete series? If we are to prepare discrete series from individual series or raw data, it is better to place values in ascending order, then against these variables we put tally bar for each item against the corresponding variable, then number of total tally bars is counted and a numerical number is put in 3rd column as frequency.
Accordingly, what is the difference between individual series and discrete series?
In simple words, individual series is the arrangement of raw data individually. It gives numeric values for a specific situation. On the other hand, discrete gives data for each specific value of variable. The important thing in the discrete series is that, the variable involved in the series has integer values.
What are the three types of series?
Types of Series and Frequency Distribution
- Time Series. A series of data that is arranged chronologically, or in relation to time is called a Time Series.
- Frequency Series. A series of data that is formed along with the frequencies of their occurrences is called a frequency series.
- Individual Series.
- Array.
- Discrete Series.
- Continuous Series.
