Now, some may be unfamiliar with the procedures and concepts that were involved in
organizing the frequency distribution table. Hence, to understand further, the following is a step-
by-step process of determining the different elements of the frequency distribution table shown
above.

I. Determining the Number of Classes and the Class Width

First, to determine the number of classes needed, we need to satisfy the formula 2k > n,
wherein k is the number of classes and n is the number of observations. Given in the instructions,
the number of observations needed is 15. Obviously, the smallest integer of k that can satisfy the
equation is 4. Let us check.

n=15

2k > 15

24 > 15

16 >15 ✅
 Next, we have to determine the class width by subtracting the minimum data value from
the maximum data value, divided by the number of classes k=4.

HP−LP
Class Width=
k

54,000−3,750
= 4

50,250
= 4

Class Width= 12,562.5

or 12,563

The value of the class width is 12,563. This is needed in finding the lower limit and upper
limit of each class.

II. Writing the Class Intervals

Starting with the lowest value, we add the class width to determine the upper limit of the first
class. Consequently, the same process follows with the second, third, and fourth classes (since
the number of classes is 4). To comprehend it easily, the process is as follows:

3,750 + 12,563 = 16,313

16,313 + 12,563 = 28,876

28,876 + 12,563 = 41,439

41,439 + 12,563 = 54,002

As observed, the highlighted values are the class intervals seen in the frequency distribution
table above.

III. Performing the Tally to Find the Frequency

To find the frequency of each class, tallying makes the process easier. It is done by counting
the number of observations that falls into their respective classes. One way to understand this is
by presenting the figure showing the different observations in the list provided above with their
distinct colors that correspond to their respective classes.

10,400 32,200 11,250 29,000 15,000

3,750 7,500 11,250 15,000 15,400

 32,800 10,500 25,000 36,600 54,000

■ 3,750−16,313 ■ 16,313−28,876 ■ 28,876−41,439 ■ 41,439−54,002

In this way, we are able to determine the frequency of each class easily.

IV. Determining the Class Mark

Also known as the midpoint, the class mark of each class can be calculated as:

Lower class limit + Upper class limit

Midpoint =
2

Let us solve each class!

3,750+16,313
a. Midpoint of the 1st Class = = 10,031.5
2
16,313+28,876
b. Midpoint of the 2nd Class = = 22,594.5
2
28,876+41,439
c. Midpoint of the 3rd Class = = 35,157.5
2
41,439+54,002
d. Midpoint of the 4th Class = = 47,720.5
2

V. Discovering the Cumulative Frequency

The cumulative frequency is the sum of the first frequency and all frequencies below it in a
frequency distribution table. To find it, we have to add a value with the next value then add the
sum with the next value again and so on till the last. The last cumulative frequency should be the
total sum of all frequencies or else there is an error.

This process is specifically shown below:

Frequency Cumulative Frequency

9 9
1 9+1 = 10
4 10+4 = 14
1 14+1 = 15

VI. Finding the Relative Frequency

The relative frequency tells the proportion of the total number of observations associated
with each category. This can be calculated as:
 f
Relative Frequency =
n

Let us solve the relative frequency of each class:

9
a. RF1= = 0.6
15
1
b. RF2= = 0.067
15
4
c. RF3= = 0.266
15
1
d. RF4= = 0.067
15
VII. Determining the Cumulative Relative Frequency

The cumulative relative frequency is similar to the cumulative frequency, but with the
relative frequency. To find it, we have to add a value with the next value then add the sum with
the next value again and so on till the last. The last cumulative relative frequency should be equal
to 1 or else there is an error.

This is done as shown in the table below:

Frequency Cumulative Relative Frequency

0.6 0.6
0.067 0.6+0.067 = 0.667
0.266 0.667+0.266 = 0.933
0.067 0.933+0.067 = 1

Answer the following questions:

1. Provide a short description or explanation about the

distribution of the yearly tuition fee of the grade 11 students
based on the frequency distribution table. What is the largest
tuition fee? The smallest?

The distribution of the annual tuition fees of the Grade 11 students in the
different strands showed a wide range of values. As seen in the frequency
distribution table, out of all the fifteen observations, there are four classes with a
class width of 12,563. The reason for this is mainly because of the huge gap
between the smallest tuition fee and the largest tuition fee.

On the data I have gathered, the smallest tuition fee amounts to 3,750 pesos
while the largest tuition fee is 54,000 pesos. As a result, I have also observed that
the annual tuition fees are unevenly dispersed among the classes.

2. What is the typical yearly tuition fee of the grade 11 students?

To answer directly, the typical yearly tuition fee of the Grade 11 students based on the
data I have gathered generally ranges from 11,000 to 21,000 pesos. Specifically, the typical
amount is 15,000 pesos.

As observed, the reason is because it is simply the value of the median. Although, the
term ‘typical’ varies greatly on different perspectives. Hence, let us dive deeper to accurately
determine the answer to the question.

If we have a set of numerical data, we would like to find a single number that can
represent the whole data set or at least give us some information about typical values in the data
set. As I’ve said, when we say ‘typical,’ we think of many ways to describe it. Yet, the major
concepts that we think of instantly are the measures of central tendency. In definition, they are
the mean, median, and mode.

Since I have gathered enough raw data, we can determine the three measures of central
tendency as follows:

1. Mean

To simply put, the mean is the average of all the values in a data set. For ungrouped data, this
is the formula:

Χ=
∑X
n
Wherein,

Χ = Mean ∑ X = sum of all the values n = the number of observations

Let us now solve the mean of the yearly tuition fees!

∑ X=¿ ¿10,400+3,750+32,800+32,200+7,500+10,500+11,250+11,250+25,000+29,000+15,000+36,600
+ 15,000+15,400+54,000
∑ X=¿ 309,650 ¿
309,650
Χ=
15

= 20,643.33
2. Median
The median is the middle number in a sorted, ascending or descending, list of numbers and
can be more descriptive of that data set than the average. To determine the median of the yearly
tuition fees, let us sort the gathered data and determine the middle value:
3,750

7,500

10,400

10,500

11,250

11,250

15,000
This is the median.
15,000

15,400

25,000

29,000

32,200

32,800

36,600

54,000

3. Mode
The mode is the value that appears most often in a set of data values. To find the mode of the
yearly tuition fees, let us sort the gathered data and determine the most frequent value:

10,400 32,200 11,250 29,000 15,000

3,750 7,500 11,250 15,000 15,400

 32,800 10,500 25,000 36,600 54,000

These encircled values are the modes of the gathered data− 11,250 and 15,000.
Finally, we can observe that the values of the three measures of central tendency vary
from each other. This goes to prove that the typical yearly tuition fee of the Grade 11 students
has many interpretations. In my opinion, the median is the most suitable measure for
answering the question. Although, one thing that these measures have in common is that they
fall within the range of 11,000-21,000 pesos.
