Types of Classification in Organisation of Data

Classification means arranging data into groups based on a clear feature. NCERT uses this idea to make raw observations easier to compare.

Types of classification in Class 11 Economics Organisation of Data

  • Qualitative classification: groups data by attributes such as gender or literacy.
  • Quantitative classification: groups data by numbers such as marks, income or age.
  • Temporal classification: arranges observations according to time.
  • Spatial classification: arranges observations according to place.

The main scoring point is to match the grouping basis with the example given in the question.

Frequency Distribution in Organisation of Data

A frequency distribution shows how often each value or class appears. This is where students learn class intervals, limits and tally marks.

Frequency distribution steps for Class 11 Economics Organisation of Data

  1. Collect raw data and keep every observation in the same unit.
  2. Choose class intervals that do not overlap.
  3. Use tally marks so each observation is counted once.
  4. Count frequency and check whether the total matches the data set.

Class Intervals and Tally Marks in Organisation of Data

NCERT explains class intervals with inclusive and exclusive forms. Students should read the lower limit, upper limit and class size carefully before filling the table.

TermMeaningCommon mistake
Lower limitSmallest value in a class.Writing it as the midpoint.
Upper limitLargest boundary of a class.Counting the same value twice.
Tally markA quick count mark placed against a class.Forgetting the fifth cross mark.
FrequencyTotal number of observations in a class.Not matching the final total.

In table questions, the total frequency must equal the number of observations in the raw data.

How to Use the Organisation of Data NCERT Book PDF

Read the PDF in three passes. First, underline the types of classification. Second, mark every frequency table. Third, solve the exercise questions without looking at the worked examples.

  • For definitions: write meaning plus one example.
  • For tables: copy the headings before filling values.
  • For class intervals: check whether the method is inclusive or exclusive.
  • For revision: pair this PDF with notes after one full reading.
