DISTRIBUTION
OBJECTIVES:
Acquire knowledge on the
basic concept of frequency
distribution table, range,
class width, class limits,
class boundaries, and class
marks.
Identify the class size,
class marks, class
boundaries, and class limits
for the given frequency
distribution table.
Construct a frequency
distribution table
RECALL
Classify the ff as discrete
or continuous data:
Shoe sizes
actual lengths of feet
No.of students in AC – high
school
Male teachers in AC
Temperature of the room
Among campus vending machines,
14 are found to be defective.
Today's records show that 5
students were absent.
The car weighs 1430 kilograms.
Among all SAT scores last year, 23
were perfect.
Radar indicated that the driver
was going 72.4 mph.
Essential Questions:
What is a frequency
distribution table?
What are the basic
concepts needed in
constructing a frequency
distribution table?
A frequency distribution
table lists categories of
scores along with their
corresponding
frequencies.
The frequency for a
particular category or
class is the number of
original scores that fall
into that class.
The classes or
categories refer to the
groupings of a
frequency table
Therange is the difference
between the highest value
and the lowest value.

Using Table:
What is the lower class limit
of the highest class? Upper
class limit of the lowest class?
Find the class mark of the
class 43 – 51.
What is the frequency of the
class 16 – 24?

61 – 69 5 5 + 5 = 10 40 + 5= 45
52 – 60 0 10 + 0 = 10 40 + 0= 40
43 – 51 2 10 + 2 = 12 38 + 2= 40
34 – 42 7 12 + 7 = 19 31 + 7= 38

RELATIVE FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
A Relative frequency distribution indicates
the proportion of the total number of
observations that is occurring in each interval.
That is,
frequency of each class interval f
relative frequency (rf )= ⇔ rf =
total number of observations n
Relative frequencies may be expressed in percent.
Hence a relative frequency table is also called
percentage frequency distribution
Classes Freq. rf rf%
N = 50 1.00 100%
Note: A Relative cumulative
frequency distribution may be
constructed using relative
frequencies of the cumulative
frequency “less than” or “more
than”.
