BASIC STATISTICS

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION TABLE

At the end of the lesson, the learners
will be able:

to organize data in

a frequency
distribution table.
GROUP ACTIVITY 1: Each group will take note of
the scores of the members. As one, try to answer
the following questions:

1.Which is the highest

score/value?___________
2.Which is the lowest
score/value?_________
3.What is the difference of these two
scores?____________
Important Terms to remember:

RANGE (R) -the difference between the highest and the lowest
value among data

CLASS INTERVAL (k) -the size of each class into which a range
of a variable is divided, as represented by
the division of a histogram or bar chart

Sample Size (n) - -is the count of individual samples or

observations in any statistical setting

Class Size (c) - -the average number of students per class

 How to construct a FDT?
Given the following data:
35 48 24 15 34 54 35 28 27 21 36 34 36 39 44

Step 1: Find the RANGE (R)= Highest Value – Lowest Value

 GROUP ACTIVITY 1: Use the result of the summative
test. Collect the data(scores) of your members
and construct a Frequency Distribution Table to
organize them.

As a guide, follow again the following steps:

1.Find the RANGE (R) = Highest Value – Lowest Value
2.Solve for the number of class intervals (k) = 1 + 3.3 log n.
3.Determine the class size (c) = R/k
4.Construct the FDT. Determine the frequencies.
Individual Written Work:

Do exercises I and II

on pp. 132-133 of
Math Made Easy.
 HOMEWORK:
Is there any other way/s we can organize
data aside from using the distribution table?
Name or give examples of data being
organized and interpreted using them.
Get ready for data interpretation
tomorrow.
Bring the following materials: ruler, compass
or any circular objects, pencil, crayons.
Construct a frequency distribution table
based on the following sets of data:

85 83 79 86 81 88
82 90 78 84 80 84
77 89 92 85 87 79
