Frequency Distribution
A representation,
in a tabular format,
which displays the number of
observations within a given interval. The
intervals must be mutually exclusive (each
score must belong to exactly one class)
and exhaustive (Including every possible
element).
Question
Howdo we construct a
frequency distribution
table?
Let’s Try!!!
Agesof 50 men randomly
selected from a population
who died in gunfire are given.
Construct a frequency
distribution table having 7
classes.
19 18 30 40 41 33 73 25
23 25 21 33 65 17 20 76
47 69 20 31 18 24 35 24
17 36 65 70 22 25 65 16
24 29 42 37 26 46 27 63
21 27 23 25 71 37 75 25

Determine the range.
R = Highest Value – Lowest
Value
R = 76 – 16 = 60
Find the class width (c).
Range R
class width = ⇔ c=
number of classes k
60
c = = 8.57 = 9
7
Write the classes starting with lowest
score.
Classes Tally Marks Freq.
70 – 78
61 – 69
52 – 60
43 – 51
34 – 42
25 – 33
16 – 24
Classes Class Tally Marks Freq. x
boundaries
Note:
These classes are usually specified in
question.
The number of classes should be between 5
and 20. The actual number of classes may
be affected by convenience or other
subjective factors.
STEP 3. Find the class width by
dividing the range by the number
of classes.
Range
class width or class mark =
number of classes

Slope is a measure of
steepness
Types of Slope
Zero
Negative
Positive Undefined
or
No Slope
If given 2 points on
a line, you may find
the slope using the
formula m = y2 – y1
x2 – x1
Find the slope of the
line through the
points (3,7) and (5, 19).
x1 y1 x2 y2
m = 19 – 7 m = 12 m=6
5–3 2
Find the slope
(3, 4) and (-6, -2)
If given an equation
of a line, there are
2 ways to find the
slope and y-intercept.
One method is to
write the equation in
slope-intercept form,
which is y = mx + b.
slope
y-intercept
Find the slope and
y-intercept of the
following equations.
y = 3x + ½
slope= 3
y-intercept = ½
3x + 5y = 10
First, solve the equation for y.
3x + 5y = 10
5y = -3x + 10
y = -3/5 x + 2
m= -3/5 b=2
Another method to
find the slope if given
an equation of a line
is to write the equation
in the form Ax + By = C.
m = -A/B, b = C/B
Find the slope and
y-intercept of the
following equations.
A B C
8x + 11y = 7
m= -8/11 b = 7/11
-6x = 2y + 14
First, rewrite the equation in
the form Ax + By = C.
-6x - 2y = 14
m= 6/-2 b = 14/-2
m= -3 b = -7
If given the graph
of a line, find the
slope by using the
“triangle” method to
find the rise over run.
rise = 4
m= rise
run
run = 5 m= 4/5
