Frequency Distribution

1) Loose Data: Data collected that has not been organized numerically. For example, heights of males and females obtained from a survey, arranged alphabetically.


2) Ordination: An arrangement of numerical data in ascending or descending order. The difference between the largest and smallest number is called the data range.

Example:

Data Management Data Range
2.1 1 A: 10 to 1
7.6 2 R: 9
4.9 4
8.10 6 R: range of the data.
7
8
9
10


3) Frequency Distribution: When dealing with large amounts of loose data, it's useful to distribute them into classes or categories and determine the number of individuals belonging to each category, often called a class.

A tabular distribution of data by type or category with its corresponding... Continue reading "Understanding Frequency Distributions: Data Organization" »
