Frequency Distribution
- Consider a data set showing the retirement age of 12 people
- Ages included in the data set are 55, 56, 57, 57, 58, 58, 60, 60, 62, 65, 65, 65
- Breakdown of the retirement data is as follows:
- Age 55: 1 person
- Age 56: 1 person
- Age 57: 2 people
- Age 58: 2 people
- Age 60: 2 people
- Age 62: 1 person
- Age 65: 3 people
- Total people: 12
Determining Range and Interval Size
- Given are the following numbers: 70 70 77 70 77 79 79 73 73 87 79 80 72 83 89 78 91 81 88 84 71 72 71 78 78 94 81 81 79 80 72 83 89 78 91 81 88 84 83 72 80 72 83 89 78 91 81 88 84 83 70 81 75 76 90 80 94 94 73 88
- Scores and their frequencies in a frequency distribution range are as follows:
- 70-74: 13
- 75-79: 13
- 80-84: 19
- 85-89: 8
- 90-94: 7
- Total: 60
- The range has to be determined
- Interval size also has to be decided
- Using 27 ÷ 10 = 2.7 or 3 is too small
- Using 27 ÷ 5 = 5.4 or 5 looks better
Relative Frequency Distribution

- 85-89: 8, 13.33%
- 90-94: 7, 11.67%
- Total: 60, 100%
Frequency Polygon / Line Graph
- To make a frequency polygon:
- Plot the scores on the x-axis

- Connect the points plotted by a straight line
Comparing graphs
- Scores, Frequencies for comparisons are
- 70-74: 12
- 75-79: 11
- 80-84: 15
- 85-89: 9

- 62: 1
- 60: 2
- 58: 2
