 FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
It is a collection of observations
produced by sorting them into
classes and showing their
frequency (or numbers) of
occurrences in each class.
 FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
There are three basic types of
frequency distribution:
categorical, ungrouped, and
grouped.
 FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
The categorical frequency
distribution is used for data that
can be placed in specific
categories, such as nominal, or
ordinal level data.
 EXAMPLE 1:
The following data give the results of
a sample survey. The letters A, B, and
C represents the three categories.

ASSOCIATED WITH FREQUENCY
TABLES
Range– the difference between the highest and
lowest value from a set of data
 Class Limits– The numerical figures used to
specify the lower and upper limits of a ‘class
interval’
 Frequency – the number of times a data value
occurs
 Tally marks – are used to find the frequency of
 BASIC TERMINOLIGIES
ASSOCIATED WITH FREQUENCY
TABLES
Lower class limit – the smallest data 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.
 BASIC TERMINOLIGIES
ASSOCIATED WITH FREQUENCY
 TABLES
Class marks – the midpoints of the classes

 Class width – the difference between two

consecutive lower class limits.
 Cumulative frequency – classes are increasing
order, is the sum of the frequencies for that class
and all previous classes
EXAMPLE 2:
Prepare a frequency distribution table for the scores
given:
42, 22, 55, 18, 50, 10, 33, 29, 17, 29, 29, 27, 34, 15, 40,
42, 40, 41, 35, 27, 44, 31, 38, 19, 54, 55, 38, 19, 20, 30
EXAMPLE 2:
● Step 1: Arrange the data from lowest to highest.

10 15 17 18 19 19 20 22 27 27 29 29 29 30 31

33 34 35 38 38 40 40 41 42 42 44 50 54 55 55
EXAMPLE 2:
● Step 2: Determine the range
● R = highest score – lowest score

● R = 55 – 10 = 45

10 15 17 18 19 19 20 22 27 27 29 29 29 30 31

33 34 35 38 38 40 40 41 42 42 44 50 54 55 55
EXAMPLE 2:
● Step 3: Compute the number of classes using Sturge
formula
● K = 1+3.322logN

● K = 1+3.322log30

● K = 5.90 round up = 6
EXAMPLE 2:
● Step 4: Find the class width
● Class width = R/K

● Class width = 45/6 = 7.5 round up = 8

EXAMPLE 2:
● Step 5: Select as starting point, either the
lowest score or the lowest class limits. Add
the class width to the starting point to get
the second lower class limit. Then enter
the upper-class limit.
