Frequency Distribution Guide

The document discusses how to construct a frequency distribution table (FDT) to organize data. It provides steps for constructing an FDT: 1) find the range, 2) determine the number of class intervals, 3) calculate the class size, and 4) build the table with classes, tallies, and frequencies. Learners will practice this by constructing an FDT for a group data set and doing exercises in their workbook. They are assigned homework to consider other ways of organizing data and prepare for interpreting data the next day.

BASIC STATISTICS

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLE


At the end of the lesson, the learners
will be able:

to organize data in


a frequency
distribution table.
GROUP ACTIVITY 1: Each group will take note of
the scores of the members. As one, try to answer
the following questions:

1.Which is the highest


score/value?___________
2.Which is the lowest
score/value?_________
3.What is the difference of these two
scores?____________
Important Terms to remember:

RANGE (R) -the difference between the highest and the lowest
value among data

CLASS INTERVAL (k) -the size of each class into which a range
of a variable is divided, as represented by
the division of a histogram or bar chart

Sample Size (n) - -is the count of individual samples or


observations in any statistical setting

Class Size (c) - -the average number of students per class

GROUP ACTIVITY 1: Use the result of the summative
test. Collect the data(scores) of your members
and construct a Frequency Distribution Table to
organize them.

As a guide, follow again the following steps:


1.Find the RANGE (R) = Highest Value – Lowest Value
2.Solve for the number of class intervals (k) = 1 + 3.3 log n.
3.Determine the class size (c) = R/k
4.Construct the FDT. Determine the frequencies.
Individual Written Work:

Do exercises I and II


on pp. 132-133 of
Math Made Easy.
HOMEWORK:
Is there any other way/s we can organize
data aside from using the distribution table?
Name or give examples of data being
organized and interpreted using them.
Get ready for data interpretation
tomorrow.
Bring the following materials: ruler, compass
or any circular objects, pencil, crayons.
Construct a frequency distribution table
based on the following sets of data:

85 83 79 86 81 88
82 90 78 84 80 84
77 89 92 85 87 79
81 75 82 83 86 83
88 82 84 84 80 86
