The key takeaways are how to construct a frequency distribution table from raw data and how to interpret the table for data presentation.

The steps given are determining the number of classes, class size, class limits, tallying the frequencies, and presenting the information in a table.

Some of the terms defined are class frequency, class interval, class limits, class boundaries, class size, and class mark.

D. Presentation of Learning Materials.

These are the following Steps in Constructing a Frequency Distribution Table.


1. Determine the number of classes. There must be an adequate number of classes to show the
essential characteristics of the data; at the same time, there should not be too many classes
that it is already difficult to grasp the picture of the distribution as a whole. There are no
precise rules concerning the optimal number of classes but Sturge’s formula can be used as a
first approximation.

Sturges’ formula:
K=1+ 3.22 log N = approximate number of classes
N= number of observations

2. Determine the approximate class size. Whenever the possible, all the classes should be of
the same size. The following steps can be used to determine the class size.
 Solve for the range, R=maximum value – minimum value
Compete for C’= R ÷ K
Round of C’ to a convenient number to work with, say C, and use C as the class size.
*Class size can be adjusted if in case the resulting number is even. Add 1 to make it
odd.
3. Determine the lowest class limit. The first class must include the smallest value in the data
set.
4. Determine all class limits by adding the class size , C, to the limit of the previous class.
5. Tally the frequencies for each class. Sum the frequencies and check against the total
number of observations.

IV- Enhancing Retention and Transfer (Assignment)

A marketing research consultant conducted a survey of 40 persons who used to visit fast food chains. The
age of the persons was recorded to the nearest years as follows:

1 2 4 3 4 2 2 4 3 4 3 2 5 3 3 1 2 5 4 5
6 9 4 6 0 4 8 7 4 6 5 6 0 3 8 9 2 3 4 5
3 2 4 4 1 4 3 4 4 2 5 3 4 4 2 2 3 3 4 2
2 1 4 1 9 0 0 7 7 7 0 3 6 8 9 7 2 1 2 8

Prepare a frequency distribution using the Sturges’ Formula/Steps. Submit your solution and answer on a
long bond paper.
