FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLE FOR GROUPED DATA

A. What’s New?

Another way of arranging data is by grouping the observations into intervals and
tabulating the frequencies for each interval. The result is called a grouped frequency
table or grouped frequency distribution. In this distribution, the intervals are called
classes.

B. What is It?

For grouped data, there are steps to be considered in constructing a frequency


distribution table.
1. Find the range r. The range is the difference of the highest score minus the lowest
score.

2. Decide on the number of classes. A class is a grouping or category. Statistician


said that the ideal number of classes is between 5 to 15.

3. Estimate the class width (i) by dividing the range by a number of classes. You can

use the formula i¿ . Note that if the quotient is not
DESIRED NUMBER OF CLASSES
integer, round off the value to the nearest value to obtain the class width.
4. Set up the class intervals. Start with the lowest score or a convenient value
slightly less than the lowest score. Then add the class width to the starting point
to get the next interval. Do this until the highest score is contained in the last
interval.

5. Tally the corresponding number of scores in each interval. Then summarize the
results or sum up the tallies under the frequency column.

Let’s have an example. Construct a suitable frequency distribution table.

Consider the midyear test scores of 45 students in Mathematics 7.


29 27 28 27 34 29 27 27 28
25 23 35 25 29 33 23 27 33
27 22 40 27 21 29 22 25 29
25 21 20 21 23 25 30 20 28
30 29 28 30 27 27 27 19 30
Solution:

Step 1. Find the range. In the given data, the highest score is 40 and the lowest score is
19. Therefore, the range is 21.
R= Highest Score-Lowest Score
R= 40 – 19
R= 21.
Step 2. You can just decide on the number of class. So let’s assume that the number of
classes is 7.
Step 3. Determine the class width or the class size(i). Use the given formula to solve for i,

Step 4. Starting with 19 which is our lowest score and i= 3, the classes are : 19-21,22-
24,25-27,28-30,31-33,38-39,40-42.

 Note that the constructed number of classes (8) is one more than the desired
number of classes. This is allowed to accommodate all scores .
Step 5. Table below represents the frequency distribution table.

C. Activities

Direction: Construct a suitable frequency table given the following data.

One of the Companies in EPZA are producing batteries. Thirty AA batteries were tested to determine
how long they would last. The results, to the nearest minute, were recorded as follows:
423, 369, 387, 411, 393, 394, 371, 377, 389, 409,
392, 408, 431, 401, 363, 391, 405, 382, 400, 381,
399, 415, 428, 422, 396, 372, 410, 419, 386, 39
