FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION TABLE
OBJECTIVES . . .
At the end of this session, the students should
be able to:
1. organize data in a frequency distribution

table; and
2. analyze, interpret accurately and draw

conclusions from graphics and tabular
presentations of statistical data.
Frequency
Distribution Table
A frequency distribution table is a device for organizing
and representing grouped data. When the data contains
more than 30 cases, a frequency distribution table is
constructed to make the task more manageable and to
save time in calculating different statistics.
The following steps in constructing
the table is helpful:
Compute the class size 𝒊
𝑹
Find the range R using the formula 𝒊=
𝒏
𝑹 = 𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒆 − 𝑳𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒔𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒆 Start of the process in constructing
frequency distribution table
Using the lowest score as lower limit, add
Compute the number of intervals 𝑛 𝑖 − 1 to it to obtain the higher limit of
the desired class interval.
𝒏 = 𝟏 + 𝟑. 𝟑𝒍𝒐𝒈𝑵
𝑛 = number of class intervals
The lower limit of the second interval is
𝑁 = population or total number of
obtained by adding the class size to
observations
the lower limit of the first interval 𝑖 − 1
to the result to obtain the higher limit of
the second interval.

It is the midpoint of a class interval. To
obtain this point, add the lower limit
and the upper limit then divide by two.

Class Boundary
It is also known as the exact limit, and it can be obtained
by subtracting 0.5 from the lower limit of each interval and
adding 0.5 to the upper limit. For instance, for the class
interval 15 -23 in table 1.1., the class boundary of the
lower limit will be 14.5 and that of the upper limit is 23.5.
