Categorical Irequency Distribution
Data that can be placed in speciic categories, such as
nominal-or ordinal-leel data.
example : political ailiation, religious ailiation.
Example : Distribution of Blood Types
25 army inductees were given a blood test to determine
their blood type. The data set is
A B B AB O
O O B AB B
B B O A O
A O O O AB
AB A O B A
Construct a frequency distribution for the data.
Lep 1
identify the type of blood from the data set for
make the classes.
~ there have 4 blood types A,B,O and AB.
make the table as below
C D
lass 1ally lrequency ercenL
A
8
C
A8
Lep 2
tally the data and place the results in column B.
C D
lass 1ally lrequency ercenL
A /////
8 ///// //
C ///// ////
A8 ////
A B B AB O
O O B AB B
B B O A O
A O O O AB
AB A O B A
Lep 3
count the tallies and place the results in column C
as frequency.
C D
lass 1ally lrequency ercenL
A ///// 3
8 ///// // 7
C ///// //// 9
A8 //// 4
A B B AB O
O O B AB B
B B O A O
A O O O AB
AB A O B A
Lep 4
find the percentage by using formula below :
f = frequency of the class
n = total number of values
% = (f/n) x100%
Lep 3
find the totals for columns C (frequency) and
D (percent) and complete the table.
