WHAT’S NEW
Frequency Distribution
is a representation, either in a graphical or tabular format, that displays the
number of observations within a given interval.
has an interval size depending on the data being analyzed and the goals of the
analyst.
is typically used within a statistical context.
is the basic building block of statistical analytical methods and the first step in
analyzing survey data.
helps researchers (a) organize and summarize the survey data in a tabular
format, (b) interpret the data, and (c) detect outliers (extreme values) in the
survey data set.

WHAT IS IT
Raw data are the collected data, which have not been organized. We can
hardly see any pattern in any set of raw data. An example is the data obtained in the
survey on the number of cell phones possessed by each family.
Example 1: Consider the number of cell phones possessed by each family.
3 4 5 4 3 4 1 6 5 2
4 5 2 3 6 3 3 2 1 3
2 3 4 5 3 2 4 3 4 5
4 2 5 3 4 6 3 5 3 6
1 3 4 2 3 4 2 4 6 3
Now, let us organize the data using a table by following these steps:
1. Set up a table using three columns.
Number of cell phones Tally Frequency Each item in
1 column 1 is called
2 a class of the
3 table. The class
4 can be written
5 from lowest to
6 highest or vice
Total versa.
2. Read each item in the raw data and mark a stroke or tally in the Tally column in
the same row as its class.

3 |||| - |||| - |||| stroke with a
4 |||| - |||| - || cross stroke like
5 |||| - || “||||” to make the
6 |||| counting easier.

3. Write down the frequency of each class by counting its corresponding tally marks.
The frequency of the class is the number of times each class occurs. Find the sum of
all the frequencies and write it as shown.

The table above is called a frequency table. It shows clear and definite
information about a set of data.
Example 2: The grades of 25 students in Biology are: 78, 80, 78, 82, 84, 88, 76, 78,
78, 76, 68, 78, 86, 84, 80, 78, 82, 80, 68, 82, 84, 82, 78, 82, 78.
Let us organize the data through a frequency table.

Organization of Data in a Grouped
Lesson 2 Frequency Distribution Table
Example 1: Here are the results of the 30-point Math Quiz of 40 students in a class.
Construct a frequency distribution with 10 class intervals.
20 21 13 29 20 26 12 17 15 15
14 22 19 20 18 22 24 17 11 17
11 14 13 19 13 21 19 14 10 25
10 11 20 19 26 18 16 15 11 16
Scores of 40 students in a 30-point Math Quiz The class intervals are non-
Class Interval Frequency (f) overlapping in order that no single item
28-29 1 can fall into classes.
26-27 2 In the class interval 10-11, the
24-25 2 lower limit is 10 and the upper limit is
22-23 2
11. Hence, the left member of the class
20-21 6
18-19 6 interval is the lower limit while the right
16-17 5 member is the upper limit.
14-15 6 The difference between any
12-13 4 consecutive lower limits is the class
10-11 6 width. It is also the difference of any two
N = 40 consecutive upper limits.
The following procedure shows how the table in the given example was obtained.
Steps in constructing a Grouped Frequency Distribution:
2. Decide on the number of classes or class intervals desired. In the given example, the
desired number of classes is 10.
𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆
3. Find the 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ: 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒕𝒉 = 𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒔
19
𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ = 10 = 𝟏. 𝟗 or approximately 𝟐

4. Determine the lowest class interval.
𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 = 𝟏𝟎 Lower limit of the lowest class interval
𝐿𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 + 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ − 1 = 10 + 2 − 1 = 𝟏𝟏 Upper limit of the lowest class interval
Lowest Class Interval 𝟏𝟎 − 𝟏𝟏
5. Determine the lower and upper class limits of the succeeding class intervals.
10 + 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ = 10 + 2 = 12 11 + 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ = 11 + 2 = 13 12 − 13

Example 2: Prepare a grouped frequency distribution on the grades of 40 students
in Mathematics. Shown below are their grades.
86 83 81 81 86 91 79 82 81 87 87 83

𝟐𝟖 89-91 6
𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒅𝒕𝒉 = = 2.8 = 3

83-85 5
Lower limit: 71 80-82 9
Upper limit: 77-79 2
71 + 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝑤𝑖𝑑𝑡ℎ – 1 = 71 + 3 – 1 = 73 74-76 3
Lowest class interval: 71 − 73 71-73 5
Second class interval: 74 − 76 and so on.
N= 40
The following are numerical values that are relevant or applicable in dealing with
frequency distribution:
1. Class mark. It is the middle value or midpoint of the class interval and is obtained
by adding the lower and the upper class limits and dividing the sum by 2.
16+20
For the class interval of 16 − 20: Class mark = = 18
2
2. Class boundaries or True Limits. They are often described as the true limits
because these are more precise expressions of class limits. The lower
boundary of the class is 0.5 less than its lower limit, and its upper boundary is
0.5 more than its upper limit.
9
In the class 16 – 20, the lower boundary is 16 – 0.5 = 𝟏𝟓. 𝟓 and the upper
boundary is 20 + 0.5 = 𝟐𝟎. 𝟓
3 Cumulative frequency. There are two kinds of cumulative frequency for a class.
The less than cumulative frequency (< 𝑪𝒇) can be obtained by adding the frequency
starting from the frequency of the lowest class interval up to the frequency of the
highest class interval. It is possible also to do the reverse, that is, we start to cumulate
in the other direction. This is the greater than cumulative frequency (> 𝑪𝒇).
The table below shows the cumulative frequency distribution of 45 students in a
Science quiz.
