(1) Range = Highest value – lowest value (2) Find No. of classes ( K ) Where 2 K

n n : No. of observations Range (3) Class interval ( i ) = ــــــــــــــــــــــــــــ K

Constructing a frequency distribution

steps :

N.B:

Class interval approximate (appx.) to upper nearest unit 3.7 ~ 4 3.2 ~ 4

Construct the frequency table :

Class Lowest value

  • class interval .... till Highest value Frequency By count No. of items in each class by tallies

Ex :

Find :

Frequency distribution.

Sol :

  • Range = 84 – 18 = 66
  • No. of classes ( K ) : 2 K > 40 K = 6
  • Class interval ( i ) = 11 = ـــــــــــ 66 6 Class Frequency 18 – 29 29 – 40 40 – 51 51 – 62 62 – 73 73 – 84 // 2 /// 3 //// / 6 //// //// //// / 16 //// //// 10 /// 3 40
