The purpose for a grouped table is to keep the presentation relatively simple and easy to
understand. All of the guidelines for constructing a grouped table are intended to help
make the result easy and simple. Note, however, that after the scores have been put into a
grouped table, the individual score values are lost.
3. Students should be able to organize data into frequency distribution graphs, including bar
graphs, histograms, and polygons. Also, students should be able to understand data that are
presented in a graph.
Bar graphs (space between bars) are used to display data from nominal and ordinal
scales. Polygons and histograms are used for data from interval or ratio scales. If scores
are presented in a frequency distribution graph, students should be able to retrieve the
complete list of original scores.
4. Students should understand that most population distributions are drawn as smooth curves
showing relative proportions rather than absolute frequencies.
6. Students should be able to describe locations within a distribution using percentiles and
percentile ranks, and they should be able to compute percentiles and ranks using interpolation
when necessary.
The first key to determining percentiles and percentile ranks is the idea that all
cumulative values (both frequencies and percentages) correspond to the upper real limit
of each interval.
1. Begin with an unorganized list of scores as in Example 2.1, and then organize the scores into
a table. If you use a set of 20 or 25 scores, it will be easy to compute proportions and
2. Present a relatively simple, regular frequency distribution table (for example, use scores of 5,
4, 3, 2, and 1 with corresponding frequencies of 1, 3, 5, 3, 2. Ask the students to determine the
values of N and ΣX for the scores. Note that ΣX can be obtained two different ways: 1) by
computing and summing the fX values within the table, 2) by retrieving the complete list of
individual scores and working outside the table.
Next, ask the students to determine the value of ΣX2. You probably will find a lot of
wrong answers from students who are trying to use the fX values within the table. The common
mistake is to compute (fX)2 and then sum these values. Note that whenever it is necessary to do
complex calculations with a set of scores, the safe method is to retrieve the list of individual
scores from the table before you try any computations.
3. It sometimes helps to make a distinction between graphs that are being used in a formal
presentation and sketches that are used to get a quick overview of a set of data. In one case, the
graphs should be drawn precisely and the axes should be labeled clearly so that the graph can be
easily understood without any outside explanation. On the other hand, a sketch that is intended
for your own personal use can be much less precise. As an instructor, if you are expecting
precise, detailed graphs from your students, you should be sure that they know your
expectations.
4. Introduce interpolation with a simple, real-world example. For example, in Buffalo, the
average snowfall during the month of February is 30 inches. Ask students, how much snow they
would expect during the first half of the month. Then point out that the same interval (February)
is being measured in terms of days and in terms of inches of snow. A point that is half-way
through the interval in terms of days should also be half-way through the interval in terms of
snow.

LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS.
What I write here is for the glory of God. For more than twenty years
have I been urged to record my story as a missionary of the Cross;
but always till now, in my sixty-fourth year, my heart has shrunk
from the task, as savouring too much of self. Latterly the conviction
has been borne home to me that if there be much in my experience
which the Church of God ought to know, it would be pride on my
part, and not humility, to let it die with me. I lift my pen, therefore,
with that motive supreme in my heart; and, so far as memory and
entries in my note-books and letters of my own and of other friends
serve or help my sincere desire to be truthful and fair, the following
chapters will present a faithful picture of the life through which the
Lord has led me. If it bows any of my readers under as deep and
certain a confidence as mine, that in “God’s hand our breath is, and
His are all our ways,” my task will not be fruitless in the Great Day.
