Constructing a Frequency Distribution.1

The document outlines the objectives and steps for constructing a frequency distribution table (FDT) in mathematics. It defines key terms such as frequency, range, and class size, and provides a systematic approach to organizing data into intervals. An example is included to illustrate the construction of an FDT using scores from a mathematics exam.

FREQUENCY
DISTRIBUTION
(FDT)
Objectives:

•Define terms related to


frequency distribution;
•Construct a frequency
distribution table.
WHAT IS FREQUENCY?
In mathematics, frequency, denoted as
Let say for example:
Five students got a score of 30 in a mathematic
What is a frequency distribu
After the data collection pro
table that lists numerical data that
have been grouped in intervals and
the frequency of occurrence of
data.
12 – 15 7
Tally – a way of recording data in
groups of five.
Range – the diff erence between the
highest score and lowest score.
That is,
Range = HS – LS
10
Other related terms”
Lower boundaries – it is found by
subtracting 0.5 units from the
lower class limit.
12 – 15 12 – 0.5 = 11.5 LB
Less than cumulative frequency – it
is obtained by adding
successively the
frequencies of all the previous
classes
Including the class against which it
is written.

STEPS IN CONSTRUCTING FDT
1.Arrange the data in ascending order.
2.Calculate the range. ( Range = HS – LW)
3.Decide the class size. 1- 5 6 – 10 11-
15 16 – 20 CS = 7
4.Divide the range by the class size to
identify the class interval. 50 7 = 7.1
round up 8
5.Construct a frequency distribution table.
6.Tally and count the observations under
each classes.
Group data
Example:
Scores of 40 Students
of Grade 10 Faith in
Mathematics exam.
27 36 9 20 48 31 26 16
30 41 20 17 22 16 19 42

34 25 19 26 36 46 42 17
32 50 28 38 40 29 25 30

of 6. approximate
1.Arrange the scores in ascending
order.

20 20 22 23 25 25 25 26 26

34 36 36 38 40 41 42 42 43
44 46 48 50
2. Class size is 6.
3. Divide the range by the
class size to identify the class
interval. R = 50 – 9 = 41
i = = = 6.83 = 7
4. Construct a frequency
distribution table and tally
