What is the purpose of an ungrouped frequency distribution?
To summarize data values with corresponding frequency counts
In an ungrouped frequency distribution, what does the relative frequency for a class represent?
The frequency of the class divided by the total number of observations
What is the relative frequency for the ungrouped class of 57?
0.25
When are relative frequencies used in a frequency distribution?
To understand the proportion of each class relative to the total number of observations
What additional component may be displayed in a frequency distribution alongside frequencies?
Cumulative frequencies
In what way do cumulative frequencies enhance a frequency distribution?
They show the running total of frequencies up to a certain point
How are relative frequencies calculated for a frequency distribution?
By dividing each class's frequency by the total number of observations
What does an ungrouped frequency distribution list?
Data values with their corresponding frequency counts
What does a cumulative frequency for a class indicate?
The running total of frequencies up to that class
What does the cumulative frequency for a specific class in a frequency table represent?
The sum of the frequencies for all values at or below the given class
What does a grouped frequency distribution involve?
Creating classes or intervals for the data and listing the frequency counts in each interval
Which graph is commonly used to represent cumulative frequencies?
Ogive
What is a quantitative frequency distribution?
It includes discrete and continuous variables
What does an ungrouped frequency distribution represent?
The classes for the distribution being the data value
What does a categorical frequency distribution represent?

What is the purpose of displaying cumulative frequencies in a frequency distribution?
To provide a summary of the frequency distribution
How is the relative frequency for a class calculated in an ungrouped frequency distribution?
