FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
 In statistics, a frequency distribution is a list, table
or graph that displays the frequency of various
outcomes in a sample.
 Each entry in the table contains the frequency or
count of the occurrences of values within a particular
group or interval, and in this way, the table
summarizes the distribution of values in the sample.
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
 Example:
There are 20 selected Grade 12 – STEM students
who got the highest scores in their first periodic
exam in Basic Calculus.
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
Borcelis 51 Rico 60
Bucud 52 Labrador 58
Bumanglag 50 Olavides 54
Celis 49 Abenoja 61
De Vera 60 Cano 60
Escote 53 Lasola 65
Tobias 50 Villanueva 54
Bernardo 55 De Los Santos 53
Castillo 52 Dancel 46
Tabili 66 Tabangcura 47
DISCRETE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
1. UNGROUPED FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
 Various of the variables are shown along with their
corresponding frequency.
2. GROUPED FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
 Variables (observed) are grouped in classes and
their corresponding frequencies are recorded.
OBJECTIVES
1. UNGROUPED
 To express this data in a condensed form to
highlight the significant facts and make useful
comparison.
 Write various value of the variable along with the
frequency in tabular form.
OBJECTIVES
2. GROUPED
 Used when ungrouped frequency distribution fails
to reveal any pattern.
 When possible values that a variable can take are
large.
OBJECTIVES
 Example:
Survey of 20 hotels and the number of rooms in each
hotel.
18 14 12 19
17 15 15 18
23 27 20 22
28 21 22 33
13 18 14 16

The following are called raw data.

OBJECTIVES
Number of Rooms Frequency Number of Rooms Frequency
12 1 20 1
13 1 21 1
14 2 22 2
15 2 23 1
16 1 27 1
17 1 28 1
18 3 33 1
19 1
OBJECTIVES
Number of Rooms Frequency
10-14 4
15-19 8
20-24 5
25-29 2
30-34 1
MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
1. MEAN
 Arithmetic average of a data set.
2. MEDIAN
 Middle number from ascending and descending list
of data.
3. MODE
 Most frequently occurred value.
MEASURE OF CENTRAL TENDENCY
 Example:
The following are the scores in English for Academic
and Professional Purposes first performance task of
the sampled 15 Grade 11 – ABM students.
60 61 58
70 62 74
75 78 80
68 85 86
80 65 70
1. CLASS INTERVAL
 The size of each class into which a range of a
variable is divided, as represented by the divisions of
a histogram or bar chart.
2. CLASS MARK
 A value represented by the mid-value of a class
interval.
3. CLASS BOUNDARIES
 Class boundaries are the numbers used to separate
classes. The size of the gap between classes is the
difference between the upper class limit of one class
and the lower class limit of the next class.
4. CLASS SIZE
 The difference between the upper or lower class
limits of consecutive classes.
 Example:
The following frequency distribution is made up of the weights
in kg of 100 males who are participating in a diabetes
prevention program.
Weights F
65-67 2
68-70 10
71-73 26
74-76 34
77-79 18
80-82 10
