INTRODUCTION

Age refers to the length of time that a person has lived since their birth. It is

a measure of the number of years, months, and days that have passed since an

individual's date of birth. Age is often used as an important demographic

characteristic and can provide insights into various aspects of a person's life, such as

development, maturity, and experiences. The primary purpose of age is to provide a

measure of the time that has elapsed since a person's birth. It serves as a chronological

marker and helps us understand the stage of life an individual is in.

The study of demographics plays a crucial role in understanding various

aspects of a population, and age is a fundamental demographic characteristic that

provides valuable insights. In this research, we delve into the analysis of age

distribution among 50 students in Grade 10 at Del Pilar, Iligan City National High

School. By employing the Frequency Distribution Table (FDT) as a statistical tool,

we aim to examine the distribution patterns and gain a comprehensive understanding

of the ages of these students.

The primary objective of this research is to explore the age composition

within the Grade 10 student population, with a specific focus on Del Pilar, Iligan City

National High School. By utilizing the FDT, we can organize and summarize the data

in a structured manner, enabling us to identify key characteristics, trends, and patterns

within the age distribution.

 Through the construction of the FDT, we will categorize the ages of the 50

students into meaningful intervals or groups. Each interval will represent a specific

range of ages, allowing us to visualize the distribution more effectively. The

frequency of students falling within each interval will be recorded, providing a clear

representation of how the ages are distributed across the sample.

By analyzing the resulting FDT, we can uncover important statistical

measures such as the mode (the most frequently occurring age), the median (the

middle point of the age distribution), and the range (the difference between the

maximum and minimum ages). These measures will provide us with valuable insights

into the central tendencies and dispersion of the age distribution among the Grade 10

students.

In conclusion, this research utilizing the Frequency Distribution Table

(FDT) will provide a comprehensive analysis of the age distribution among 50

students in Grade 10 at Del Pilar, Iligan City National High School. By organizing the

data into intervals and examining key statistical measures, we aim to uncover patterns

and trends that contribute to a better understanding of the age demographics within

this specific student population.
