WHAT IS FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION?
WHAT IS FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION?
• Presents a picture of how the individual observations are distributed in the measurement
scale.
• It allows the researcher to have a glance at the entire data conveniently.
• It can be displayed in a table or graph.
• It is classified into two: grouped and ungrouped.

WHAT IS RELATIVE FREQUENCY?
• The relative frequency is the frequency of • Example:Frequency, relative frequency,
a data point expressed as a percentage of frequency distribution data:
the total number of data points. 1,3,6,4,5,6,3,4,6,3,6
• frequency of the data point 1 is 1
• frequency of the data point 6 is 4
• the relative frequency of the data point 6
is (4/11) × 100% ≈ 36.35%
WHAT IS A FREQUENCY HISTOGRAM?
• is a graph with vertical columns that represent the frequency of a data point or range of data
points occurring in a set of data.
GIVEN THE WEIGHTS OF THE 20 STUDENTS,
CONSTRUCT A FREQUENCY TABLE AND
FREQUENCY HISTOGRAM

• 36 • 20 • 20 • 34 • 45
• 40 • 40 • 34 • 45 • 40
• 30 • 30 • 20 • 29 • 36
TO CONSTRUCT A FREQUENCY
HISTOGRAM:
• Step 1: Place the data intervals along the horizontal axis.
• Step 2: Mark the frequency numbers in the vertical axis.
• Step 3: Draw rectangles for each interval. The height of the rectangle is the frequency count for
that interval.
TO CONSTRUCT A FREQUENCY TABLE:
• Step 1: Construct a table with three columns. In the first column, write down all of the data
values grouped in intervals. To do it, determine first the range using this formula:

Range=highest value-lowest value

• Step 2: To complete the second column, go through the list of data values and place one tally
mark at the appropriate place in the second column for every data value in the interval
following a specified rule to counting boundary rules.
• Step 3: Count the number of tally marks for each interval and write the count in the third
column.
 Range
=highest value-
lowest value
=60-30 Class Tally f
=30 interval To find the lower class limit
of the first class interval
choose a value that includes
30- the lowest value in the data
Class Interval
and that is divisible by the
=range/no. of classes
class width.
=30/6
=5

Class Width
=range/class interval
=30/5
=6
n=
 Range
=highest value-

=60-30 Class Tally f
=30 interval Now to find the upper
class limit of each
interval, add the first
30-35
Class Interval lower limit with the class
=range/no. of classes width minus one. So,
=30/6 30+(6-1)=35 that is our
=5 first upper class limit of
the first class interval

So,
