Abstract
We have inspected the observational data of 114 Algol-type binaries in order to clarify some general aspects of their evolutionary scenario. Through a comparison with the corresponding available statistical analyses of large sample of eclipsing and spectroscopic binaries, we have found a larger than normal concentration of low values of masses, binary separations and specific orbital angular momenta for Algol-type stars. Furthemore, high mass ratios predominate in massive and early-type Algol systems, whereas high total masses are generally accompanied by less prominent oversized and overluminous properties of the mass-losing components.
