Frequency Distribution Tables PART 2

Row data: given in the question

90 70 70 70 75 70 65 68 60

74 70 95 75 70 68 65 40 65

We are going to prepare frequency distribution table by using 5 groups. Given in the

question!

First step:

Ordered data from min to max

40 60 65 65 65 68 68 70 70

70 70 70 70 74 75 75 90 94

Second step:

Find range 𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = 𝑋𝑚𝑎𝑥 − 𝑋𝑚𝑖𝑛

𝑋𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 94

𝑋𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 40

𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 = 𝑋𝑚𝑎𝑥 − 𝑋𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 94 − 40 = 54

Third step: Determine class size, class width which is denoted by c

𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒
𝑐=⌈ ⌉ c is an integer number, always round up the values, for
𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑝𝑠

example if c=7.1 it is 8. If c=7.8 it is 8.

 54
So for our case, 𝑐 = ⌈ ⌉ = 10.8 𝑠𝑜 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠 11!

Fourth step: Determine lower class limit, and upper class limit for each group,

Hint: lower class limit for first group is minimum observation, so for our case is 40

Lower class of the next class is lower class limit + c, so for our case is 40+11=51

Upper class limit of the first group is the previous integer of second class lower limit, so for

our case lower class limit of second group is 51, so upper class of first will be 50.

And then increase upper class limits by adding c to the previous one.

Frequency: number of observation falls in first class.

Hint: count the number of observation between lower class limit to upper class limit, for

example for the first class how many observation we have between 40 to 50? Use ordered

data form and count them!

Group Lower Upper Frequency

class limit class limit fi

1 40 50 1

2 51 61 1

3 62 72 11

4 73 83 3

5 84 94 2

Total number of observation, N N= 18

From the last class we learn how to determine, cumulative frequency, relative frequency,

cumulative relative frequency, percentage frequency, and cumulative percentage

frequency. We are going to determine them for this example.

Please complete the table by reviewing lecture notes part 2, if necessary you can also check

lecture notes (extra material) as well.

Necessary formulas

𝑈𝐶𝐵 = 𝑈𝐶𝐵 + 0,5

So for our case I will use the first formula to determine midpoint for each class. Check the

table above!

Histogram

x- axis- midpoint
y- axis- frequency

*you should draw a bar where the width of the bar is class size, height is frequency.
