Frequency Distribution
The organization of raw data in table form, using classes and frequencies.
Class – a qualitative or quantitative category
Frequency – the number of data values contained in a specific class

Grouped Frequency Distribution
Use when the range of data is large and must be grouped into classes that are more than one unit in width
![Page 9: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Vocabulary for Grouped Frequency Distributions
Class Limits Lower class limits – the smallest data value
that can be included in the class Upper class limits – the largest data value
that can be included in the class Class Boundaries – numbers to separate
the classes so there are no gaps Class Width – subtract the lower class
limit of the first class from the lower class limit of the second class
![Page 11: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Steps to Make a Grouped Frequency Distribution Step 1: Determine the classes
Find the highest and lowest values Find the range Select number of classes desired (5 – 20) Find the width by dividing the range by the
number of classes and rounding up Select a starting point (usually the lowest value
or any convenient number less than the lowest value); add the width to get the lower limits
Find the upper class limits Find the boundaries

Reasons for constructing
1. To organize the data in a meaningful, intelligible way.
2. To enable the reader to determine the nature or shape of the distribution
3. To facilitate computational procedures for measures of average and spread
4. To enable the researcher to draw charts and graphs for the presentation of data.
5. To enable the reader to make comparisons among different data sets.

Steps to Create a Frequency Polygon Step 1: Find the midpoints of each
class Add the upper and lower boundaries and
divide the sum by 2. Step 2: Draw the x and y axes. Label
the x with the midpoint and use a suitable scale on the y axis for the frequency.
Step 3: Using the midpoints for the x values and the frequencies as y values, plot the points.
![Page 22: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Steps (cont’)
Step 4: Connect adjacent points with line segments. Draw a line back to the x axis at the beginning and end of the graph, at the same distance that the previous and next midpoints would be located. To do this, add a class to the beginning
and end of the frequency distribution with a frequency of zero for both.

A histogram and frequency polygon are two ways to represent the same data set. The choice of which one to use is up to the researcher.
![Page 25: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ogive – (pronounced ojive) A line graph that represents the
cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution.
Cumulative frequency – the sum of the frequencies accumulated up to the upper boundary of a class in the distribution.
![Page 26: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Steps to Create Ogives
Step 1: Find the cumulative frequency for each class. Add each frequency
one at a time so that the last class has the total.
Step 2: Draw the x and y axes. Label the x axis with the class boundaries. Use an appropriate scale for the y axis to represent the cumulative frequencies.
![Page 28: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Steps (cont’)
Step 3: Plot the cumulative frequency at each upper class boundary.
Step 4: Starting with the first upper class boundary connect adjacent points with line segments. Extend the graph to the first lower class boundary on the x axis.

Cumulative frequency graphs are used to visually show how many values are below a certain upper class boundary.
To find how many values are less than a specific boundary, draw a vertical line up to the graph and then a horizontal line to the y axis.
![Page 31: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Relative Frequency Graphs
Histograms, frequency polygons and ogives that use proportions of the raw data.
To find the proportion, divide the frequency by the total items.
The cumulative relative frequency will always add to one.

Bar Graphs
Represent the data by using vertical or horizontal bars, whose heights and lengths represent the frequencies of the data
![Page 39: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How to create bar graph
1. Draw and label x and y axes. Horizontal – frequency goes on the x
axis, categories go on the y axis Vertical – frequency goes on the y axis,
categories go on the x axis2. Draw the bars corresponding to the
frequencies.

Pareto Charts
Represent a frequency distribution for a categorical variable, and the frequencies are displayed by the heights of vertical bars, which are arranged in order from highest to lowest
![Page 43: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How to create a Pareto Chart1. Arrange the data from highest to
lowest according to frequency. 2. Draw and label the x and y axes.
The x axis is the category and the y axis is the frequency.
3. Draw the bars corresponding to the frequencies. Make sure the bars are touching.

Pie Graph
A circle that is divided into sections or wedges according to the percentage of frequencies in each category of the distribution.
![Page 49: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
How to create a Pie Graph
1. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the frequency for each class must be converted into a proportional part of the circle. This is done by using the formula where f is the frequency and n is the sum of the frequencies.
2. Convert each frequency to a percentage by using the formula
![Page 50: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Steps continued
3. Use a protractor and a compass to draw the graph using the appropriate degree measures and label the sections with the name and percentages of each category

Stem and Leaf Plots
A data plot that uses part of the data value as the stem and part of the data value as the leaf to form groups or classes.
![Page 53: Frequency Distributions and Graphs](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022061417/568166b9550346895ddabf9e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
How to create a Stem and Leaf Plot1. Arrange the data in order from
lowest to highest. 2. Separate the data according to the

Back to Back Stem and Leaf Plot If you are comparing two sets of data, you
can use a back to back stem and leaf plot A back to back stem and leaf plot has three
columns. The middle column is the stem, the left column is the leaves of the first set of data with the leaves being arranged from right to left, lowest to highest. The right column is the leaves of the second set of data with the leaves arranged from left to right, lowest to highest.
