5. is a systematic way of presenting
data using a table.
The data are group into different
intervals or number of classes
assigned by the researcher.
Usually, the ideal number of
classes is from 5 to 20 only.
6. Mrs. Abdon a Mathematics Teacher in Rosario National
High School give a long quiz to her students. Given the
set of scores of 60 students in a 50 item test, construct
a frequency distribution table.
34 28 43 21 12 50 26 33 18 28
15 42 33 21 18 17 46 10 13 38

7. 1. Choose the number of classes of the
distribution. In the given set of scores,
use 8 as the number of classes or
intervals. (Class interval = 8)
2. Get the range or the difference between
the highest and the lowest values.
Range = highest score β lowest score
= 50 β 10
= 40
8. 3. Solve the class width or class size by
dividing the range by the number of
classes or intervals.
Class size = range = 40 = 5
Class interval 8
9. 4. Use the lowest score as the starting
point if the class size is even. If the
class size is odd, use the multiple of the
class size, which is less than or equal
to the lowest score, as the starting point or
the first lower limit. In the example,
the class size is five and the lowest score
is 10, which is a multiple of class
size. Therefore, you use the lowest score
as the starting point.
10. 5. Determine the next lower limit by adding
the class size.
6. The upper limit of the first interval is
determined by subtracting one from the
second lower value. Repeat the process to
complete the intervals
7. The lower class limit is the lowest value
within the interval, whereas the
upper class limit is the lower class limit and
14 is the upper class limit
11. 8. Get the tally of each score.
9. Determine the corresponding number in
each tally. The number of times
the value appears in the distribution is
called the frequency
12. Frequency is the number of
times an observation or a
particular value appears in a
data set.
A frequency distribution is a
table that shows the frequencies
for the categories, values of a
counting variable or class
intervals.
13. If the observation has fractional measurements such
as height and weight, the following class boundaries
will avoid the gaps between class intervals. For class
interval 16 β 20, the class boundaries are
lower class boundary = 15.5 (subtract 0.5 from 16)
upper class boundary = 20.5 (add 0.5 to 20)
The class interval has class limits; the lower
class limit and the upper class limit. In this
case,
lower class limit = 16
upper class limit = 20.
Class Interval Tally Frequency
16-20 llll-ll 7
14. Each class interval has a class mark.
It is the middle value that may serve as
the representative of the interval. In
this case,
class mark = 18 (since 18 is the
middle score from 16 to 20)

gives you the frequency or the number of
values that fall into class interval 16 β 20.

Let us examine an example of a complete frequency distribution.
Answer the following.
How many class intervals are there?
What is the lowest class interval? highest class interval?

Which score interval has the highest frequency? lowest frequency?
To organize the given data, construct a frequency distribution, simply follow the steps.
To organize the given data, construct a frequency distribution, simply follow the steps.
The example above is specifically called frequency distribution for ungrouped data
The following is the procedure on how to construct the frequency distribution
H= 96
L = 76
Let R = H β L
= 96 β 76 = 20
thus, class size = 20 /4 = 5
NOTE: The lowest class interval should have an upper limit that is divisible by class size. Since the lowest score is 76 in the data set, you may set the lowest class interval to be 76-80
Let us start with 78. If downwards, the next score is 83 then continue with this pattern until you record the last score which is 76.
You may replace class interval with GRADES as the heading of the first column in relation to the data set. Again, make sure to write a title.
This is a frequency distribution for grouped data.
