This document discusses frequency distribution tables, which organize data into classes and show the number of observations in each class. There are three types of frequency distributions: categorical, ungrouped, and grouped. A categorical distribution places data into categories like nominal or ordinal levels. An example frequency table shows survey data categorized into letters A, B, and C, with their frequencies. Frequency tables have lower and upper class limits that define the class boundaries. They also have class marks, widths, and cumulative frequencies which are the sum of frequencies for a class and prior classes. Steps for creating a grouped frequency table from a data set are provided, including determining the number of classes, class width, and boundaries.

Frequency Distribution Table.

=> it is a collection of observation produced by sorting them into classes and showing their
frequency (or numbers) of occurrences in each class

there are 3 basic types of frequency distribution:


● categorical
● ungrouped
● grouped

The Categorical Frequency Distribution is used for data that can be placed in specific
categories, such as, nominal or ordinal level data.

Example #1 (categorical data)


the following data give the results of a sample survey

The letters A, B and C represents the three categories

ABAACCACCC
CBCBBCBBBC
BCCACCCBCA

category tally. frequency (f)

B. ||||| - |||| 9
C. ||||| - ||||| - ||||| 15

sum = 30

BASIG CERMINOLOGIES ASSOCIATED with FREQUENCY TABLES


● lower class limit - the smallest data value that can be included in the class.
● Upper Class Limit - the largest data value that can be included in the class.
● Class boundaries - are used to separate the classes so that there are no gaps in the
frequency distribution
● Class Marks - the midpoint the classes

=> formula: xm = lower limit + upper limit


——————
2

● Class Width - the difference between 2 consecutive lowerclass limits. (also reffered
to as the class size)
● Comulative Frequency - classes are in increasing order is the sum of frequencies for
that class and all pervious classes.

64 64 65 65 65 66 66 70
75 75 76 76 82 84 92 98

STEP 2: determine the range


range = highest score - lowest score
98 - 40
range = 58

STEP 3: compute the number of classes


sturge rule
=> a rule for determining the desirable number of groups into which a distribution of
observations should be classified; the number of groups or classes is 1 + 3:322 logN, where
N is the number of observations.
( log = logirithm )

STEP3: compute the numbers of classes


k = 1 + 3.322 logN
k = 1 + 3.322 log40 (bc there are 40 students)
k = 6.322 ROUND UP
k=7
RANGE = 58 number of classes (k) = 7

STEP 4: find the class width


class width formula = R
——
K
= 58
——

= 8.286 round up
class width = 9
STEP 5: Select as starting point, either the lowest score or the lower class limits. Add the
class width to the starting point to the second lower class limit. Then enter the upper class
limit.

total = 40

STEP 6: find the boundary by subtracting 0.5 from each lower class limit and adding 0.5 to
the upper class limit.

STEP 7: tally the frequency of each class

A variation of the standard frequency, table is used when cumulative totals are desired.The
cumulative frequency for a table, whose classes are in increasing order is the sum of the
frequencies for that class and all previous classes.
