Petrol Price in Europe

Prices of petrol in Europe
The European average price of petrol is 1.45 Euro per litre. However, there is a significant price
disparity across nations. Richer nations tend to have higher prices, whereas poorer countries and
those that produce and export oil tend to have lower prices. The pricing discrepancies across nations
are due to differing fuel taxes and subsidies. All nations have access to the same worldwide
petroleum rates, but they choose to apply various taxes. As a result, the price of petrol at the pump
varies.

Grouped Frequency Distribution


The World Bank provided the data for petrol prices/liter for 45 countries in Europe. Frequency
distribution helped me to organize the data for the petrol price/liter of 45 countries. First i found the
minimum (L) and maximum(H) value that helped me to find the Range (R=H-L) and then I
discovered the Class Width, which is the difference between any class's upper and lower
boundaries ( W= R/ nr of classes).

Histogram

A histogram is a graphical representation that divides a set of data points into ranges defined by the
user. The histogram, which resembles a bar graph in appearance, condenses a data series into an
easily understandable visual by grouping many data points into logical ranges or bins. In the x-axis
are represented the class boundaries, while in the y-axis are represented the frequencies of these
class boundaries. In this sample the histogram is right-skewed, meaning the peak is on the left side
while the data values tape off to the right. The highest frequency which represents the modal class is
the class: 1.35-1.65

Frequency Polygon
A frequency polygon is a visual representation of a distribution. The visualization tool is used to
understand the shape of a distribution. The frequency polygon indicates the number of occurrences
for each distinct class in the dataset. In addition, the graph may be used to show the cumulative
frequency distribution. The frequency polygon is a curve that is drawn on the x-axis and the y-
axis. The x-axis represents the values in the dataset, while the y-axis shows the number of
occurrences of each distinct category.

Ogive
A cumulative frequency polygon, often known as an ogive, is a form of frequency polygon that
exhibits cumulative frequencies. In other words, the cumulative percent is added from left to right
on the graph. Cumulative frequency is plotted on the y-axis, while class boundaries are plotted on
the x-axis, in an ogive graph.

Bar Graph
A bar chart is a way of summarizing a set of categorical data. The bar chart displays data using a
number of bars, each representing a particular category. The height of each bar is proportional to a
specific aggregation where in my case the Netherlands has highest price of petrol/liter and Russia
has the lowest one.

Mean, Variance, Standard deviation

average(mean) 1.450454545
standart deviation 0.356865909

• Variance is the expected squared departure of a random variable from its population mean or
sample mean in probability theory and statistics. Variance is a measurement of distribution, or how
much a group of data deviates from its overall average.
Σ ( x− x )
s2=
n−1
• In statistics, the mean is a single number that represents the data's center point or usual value and
summarizes an entire dataset. The arithmetic average is another name for it.
x̄ = Σ(x) / n.
• Standard deviation - The square root of the variance of a random variable, sample, statistical
population, data collection, or probability distribution is its standard deviation.

s= √ s2 .
