Frequency Distribution
Frequency DistributionA table that shows classes or intervals of
data with a count of the number of entries in each class.The
frequency, f, of a class is the number of data entries in the
class.

Constructing a Frequency Distribution
Larson/Farber 4th ed.
*
Decide on the number of classes. Usually between 5 and 20;
otherwise, it may be difficult to detect any patterns.
Find the class width.Determine the range of the data.Divide the
range by the number of classes.Round up to the next convenient
number.
Larson/Farber 4th ed.
Constructing a Frequency Distribution
Find the class limits. You can use the minimum data entry as
the lower limit of the first class. Find the remaining lower
limits (add the class width to the lower limit of the preceding
class). Find the upper limit of the first class. Remember that
classes cannot overlap. Find the remaining upper class limits.

Constructing a Frequency Distribution
Make a tally mark for each data entry in the row of the

12. appropriate class.
Count the tally marks to find the total frequency f for each
class.

Example: Constructing a Frequency Distribution
The following sample data set lists the number of minutes 50
Internet subscribers spent on the Internet during their most
recent session. Construct a frequency distribution that has seven
classes.
