Chart Data Values

Review the Chart Data table. It lists the histogram data, with each record representing a histogram bin on the chart:

  • DATA: the bin number.

  • LOWER/MIDDLE/UPPER: the lower, middle and upper values of the selected bin.

  • MEAN: the arithmetic mean value of samples within each bin.

  • FREQUENCY: the number of samples in each bin.

  • CUM-FREQUENCY: the cumulative number of samples up to and including the current bin.

  • %FREQUENCY: the number of samples in the current bin expressed as a percentage of the total number of samples.

  • %CUM-FREQUENCY: the cumulative number of samples up to and including the current bin expressed as a percentage of the total number of samples.

  • TOTAL: the total number of samples used for the selected histogram chart.

Probability Plot Values

Review these additional values when working with probability plots:

  • CUM-PROPORTION (U): the cumulative number of samples up to the upper limit of the current bin expressed as a proportion of the total number of samples.

  • CUM-PROPORTION (M): the cumulative number of samples up to the mid point of the current bin expressed as a proportion of the total number of samples.

  • INV-NORMAL: the inverse normal distribution values corresponding to the CUM-PROPORTION (M) values.

  • PROB-LINE: the INV-NORMAL value for the corresponding standard normal distribution.  This is used for plotting the model.
