Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of an ungrouped frequency distribution?

  • To display cumulative frequencies for each class
  • To group data values into classes and count the frequency in each class
  • To calculate relative frequencies for each class
  • To summarize data values with corresponding frequency counts (correct)

In an ungrouped frequency distribution, what does the relative frequency for a class represent?

  • The percentage of the class frequency relative to the total frequency
  • The difference between the class frequency and the total frequency
  • The sum of the frequencies for all the classes
  • The frequency of the class divided by the total number of observations (correct)

What is the relative frequency for the ungrouped class of 57?

  • 0.30
  • 0.20
  • 0.25 (correct)
  • 0.35
