The document describes the steps to construct a frequency distribution table (FDT) which groups numerical data into intervals or classes and counts the number of observations in each class. It provides an example of an FDT for average monthly kilowatt-hours used by 32 households, with classes ranging from 20 to over 150. The 7 steps include finding the range and number of classes, estimating the class width, listing the class intervals, tallying observations in each interval, and calculating additional metrics like class marks and boundaries.
