Study Notes

Relative Frequency

Relative frequency is calculated by dividing the frequency of a class by the total sample size.
This measure helps understand the proportion of items that fall into specific classes relative to the entire dataset.

Percent Frequency

Percent frequency is derived from relative frequency by multiplying it by 100.
This transformation into a percentage allows for easier interpretation and comparison across different datasets.

Frequency Distribution

A frequency distribution serves as a tabular summary that displays the frequency of various classes within a dataset.
It is a foundational concept in statistics, providing a clear view of how data points are distributed across defined intervals.

Relative Frequency Distribution

A relative frequency distribution is a tabular summary showing each class's fraction of the total number of items.
This type of distribution provides a clearer perspective on the data composition, highlighting the significance of each category within the total.

Histogram

The histogram is the most common graphical representation of quantitative data.
It visually depicts frequency distributions, where the height of bars represents the frequency of data points in each class interval.
