Frequency Distribution
The organization of raw data in table form, using classes and frequencies.
Class – a qualitative or quantitative category
Frequency – the number of data values contained in a specific class

Vocabulary for Grouped Frequency Distributions
Class Limits Lower class limits – the smallest data value
that can be included in the class Upper class limits – the largest data value
that can be included in the class Class Boundaries – numbers to separate
the classes so there are no gaps Class Width – subtract the lower class
limit of the first class from the lower class limit of the second class
![Page 11: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Steps to Make a Grouped Frequency Distribution Step 1: Determine the classes
Find the highest and lowest values Find the range Select number of classes desired (5 – 20) Find the width by dividing the range by the
number of classes and rounding up Select a starting point (usually the lowest value
or any convenient number less than the lowest value); add the width to get the lower limits
Find the upper class limits Find the boundaries

Reasons for constructing
1. To organize the data in a meaningful, intelligible way.
2. To enable the reader to determine the nature or shape of the distribution
3. To facilitate computational procedures for measures of average and spread
4. To enable the researcher to draw charts and graphs for the presentation of data.
5. To enable the reader to make comparisons among different data sets.

Steps to Create a Frequency Polygon
Step 1: Find the midpoints of each class Add the upper and lower boundaries and
divide the sum by 2. Step 2: Draw the x and y axes. Label
the x with the midpoint and use a suitable scale on the y axis for the frequency.
Step 3: Using the midpoints for the x values and the frequencies as y values, plot the points.
![Page 22: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Steps (cont’)
Step 4: Connect adjacent points with line segments. Draw a line back to the x axis at the beginning and end of the graph, at the same distance that the previous and next midpoints would be located. To do this, add a class to the beginning
and end of the frequency distribution with a frequency of zero for both.
![Page 23: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

A histogram and frequency polygon are two ways to represent the same data set. The choice of which one to use is up to the researcher.
![Page 25: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Ogive – (pronounced ojive) A line graph that represents the
cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution.
Cumulative frequency – the sum of the frequencies accumulated up to the upper boundary of a class in the distribution.
![Page 26: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Steps to Create Ogives
Step 1: Find the cumulative frequency for each class. Add each frequency
one at a time so that the last class has the total.
Step 2: Draw the x and y axes. Label the x axis with the class boundaries. Use an appropriate scale for the y axis to represent the cumulative frequencies.
![Page 28: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Steps (cont’)
Step 3: Plot the cumulative frequency at each upper class boundary.
Step 4: Starting with the first upper class boundary connect adjacent points with line segments. Extend the graph to the first lower class boundary on the x axis.

Cumulative frequency graphs are used to visually show how many values are below a certain upper class boundary.
To find how many values are less than a specific boundary, draw a vertical line up to the graph and then a horizontal line to the y axis.
![Page 31: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Relative Frequency Graphs
Histograms, frequency polygons and ogives that use proportions of the raw data.
To find the proportion, divide the frequency by the total items.
The cumulative relative frequency will always add to one.

Bar Graphs
Represent the data by using vertical or horizontal bars, whose heights and lengths represent the frequencies of the data
![Page 39: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
How to create bar graph
1. Draw and label x and y axes. Horizontal – frequency goes on the x
axis, categories go on the y axis Vertical – frequency goes on the y axis,
categories go on the x axis
2. Draw the bars corresponding to the frequencies.

Pareto Charts
Represent a frequency distribution for a categorical variable, and the frequencies are displayed by the heights of vertical bars, which are arranged in order from highest to lowest
![Page 43: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
How to create a Pareto Chart1. Arrange the data from highest to
lowest according to frequency. 2. Draw and label the x and y axes.
The x axis is the category and the y axis is the frequency.
3. Draw the bars corresponding to the frequencies. Make sure the bars are touching.

How to create a Time Series Graph
1. Draw and label the x and y axes. The x axis is the time and the y axis is the data.
2. Plot each point from the table. 3. Draw a line connecting the points.
The line does not have to be a smooth curve or straight line, just connect the dots.

Pie Graph
A circle that is divided into sections or wedges according to the percentage of frequencies in each category of the distribution.

How to create a Pie Graph
1. Since there are 360 degrees in a circle, the frequency for each class must be converted into a proportional part of the circle. This is done by using the formula where f is the frequency and n is the sum of the frequencies.
2. Convert each frequency to a percentage by using the formula

Stem and Leaf Plots
A data plot that uses part of the data value as the stem and part of the data value as the leaf to form groups or classes.
![Page 53: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
How to create a Stem and Leaf Plot
1. Arrange the data in order from lowest to highest.
2. Separate the data according to the first digit.
3. In a table with two columns, the left column being the stem and the right being the leaves, place the first digit of the groups in the stem column and the digit that follow in the leaf column.

Things to remember
Only one number can be a leaf Stems can be multiple digits Leaves are arranged in order from
lowest to highest, separated by a space or comma
![Page 55: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Back to Back Stem and Leaf Plot If you are comparing two sets of data, you
can use a back to back stem and leaf plot A back to back stem and leaf plot has three
columns. The middle column is the stem, the left column is the leaves of the first set of data with the leaves being arranged from right to left, lowest to highest. The right column is the leaves of the second set of data with the leaves arranged from left to right, lowest to highest.

APPLYING THE CONCEPTS 2-3
![Page 59: Chapter 2:. Section 1 – Organizing Data Learning Target - I will be able to organize data using a frequency distribution](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649dbc5503460f94aae69b/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Answers – Applying the Concepts 2-3
1. year, cause of death, and rate of death per 100,000 men
2. Cause of death is qualitative, year and death rates are quantitative
3. Year is discrete, death rate is continuous, cause of death is neither
4. Line graph

5. No, pareto charts can only have one qualitative and one quantitative variable6. No, same reason as pareto chart7. Pareto chart typically shows categorical variable listed from highest frequency category to the lowest frequecy category8. Time series chart is used to see trends in the data, can also be used for forecasting and predicting.
