Statistics
Statistics is concerned with scientific
methods for collecting, organizing,
summarizing, presenting, and analyzing
sample data from a specified population
of interest as well as drawing valid
conclusions, and making inferences
about the population characteristics and
finally reaching a reasonable decision.
Frequency Distribution
A frequency distribution is a set of
mutually exclusive classes or
categories together with the
frequency of occurrence of items,
values or observations in each class
or category in a given set of data,
presented usually in a tabular form.
Problem 1:
Construct a frequency distribution
from the following data containing
six equal groups with equal size of
class interval:
54, 57, 49, 45, 53, 46, 55, 50, 59, 63,
60, 57, 64, 66, 49, 56, 65, 62, 54, 48,
66, 78, 69, 80, 72, 68, 57, 68, 75,68.
Solution :  

Here, Total data = 30,

Largest data = 80, Smallest data = 45
Range = Largest data – Smallest data =
80 – 45 = 35
Class interval = = = 5.833 6

    N=30      
 Exclusive Method :
49-54, 54-59, 59-64 etc.

Inclusive Method :
49-53, 54-58, 59- 63 etc.
Problem 2 :
Prepare a frequency distribution from
the following data with suitable class
interval :
45, 30, 19, 7, 33, 28, 15, 9, 11, 21, 16,
19, 24, 33, 35, 27, 18, 14, 22, 17, 26,
38, 17, 22, 17, 23, 16, 15, 19, 40.
Solution :  
Here, Total data, N = 30,
Largest data = 45, Smallest data = 7
Range = Largest data – Smallest data
= 45 – 7 = 38
Using Sturges formula,
No. of classes, k = 1 + 3.322 log N
= 1+ 3.322 log 30 = 5.906594
∴ Class interval = = = 6.33 ≈ 7
