Organizing Data in a Frequency Distribution

Name of Learner: ___________________________________________ Grade & Section: _______________ Date: ___________


Learning Competency: organize data in a frequency distribution table. (M7SP-IVc-1)
Learning Objectives:

b. Identify the different columns in a frequency distribution
c. Illustrate data in a frequency distribution
d. Organize data in a frequency distribution

BACKGROUND LESSON
There are many instances in the real world when a group of information have to be analyzed and interpreted. However,
before this is done, devices such as tables have to be studied. These tables in Statistics are commonly referred to as Frequency
Distribution Table or simply Frequency Distribution.

WHAT IS A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION?


A frequency distribution is an arrangement of data that shows the frequency or occurrence of the different values in an
experiment or study.

WHY CONSTRUCT A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION?


When beginning to analyze fewer data, it is convenient to organize them into an array – an arrangement of data from
highest to lowest or vice-versa. However, there are cases when data are huge and numerous in number and that interpreting these
data becomes so tiresome, and so a frequency distribution is to be constructed. Usually, constructing frequency distribution is
advised for easier and faster analysis and interpretation of the gathered data when the number of observations (n) is 30 or more.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT A FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION?


1. In constructing a frequency distribution with qualitative values, the following steps are considered.
a. Enumerate the categories or classifications and define these as your classes.
b. Count the number of observations falling under each category. These are the frequencies (f) of the different classes.

2. In constructing a frequency distribution with quantitative values, the following steps are suggested.
a. Determine the range (𝑟). Formula: 𝑟 = 𝐻𝑆 – 𝐿𝑆.
b. Solve for the number of classes or class intervals (𝑘) using the formula 𝑘=√𝑛, where 𝑛 is the number of observations.
Round off 𝑘 to the nearest whole number.
c. Determine the class size (𝑐) by dividing 𝑟 by 𝑘. Note 𝑐 must be the nearest number of decimal places as in the raw
data.
d. Determine and enumerate the classes. Each class is an interval of values defined by its lower and its upper class
limits. There must be enough classes to include the highest score and the lowest score. As a rule, the lowest value in
the data becomes the lower class limit (LL) of the first class interval. Adding (𝑐) to the lower class limit of the
preceding class interval obtains succeeding lower limits. The upper class limits (UL) are obtained using the formula:
𝑈𝐿 = 𝐿𝐿 + (𝑐) – 1
e. Count the number of observations falling in each class interval for the frequency (𝑓).
The summary of data shown in the preceding table is called a frequency distribution. Notice that the table presents the scores in
groups called class interval in the first column. The tally marks in the second column records how often does each score appear
and the number of occurrences is listed in the third column called the frequency (f).
