Frequency Distribution ScoresFrequency Classes/Intervals – Determined after finding range of data. Class width is the range of each class/interval. Rule of thumb – 5 to 10 All must be equal Classes/Intervals are read as follows: 60 ≤ x < ≤ x < ≤ x < ≤ x < 100 Class limits – the upper and lower value in each interval: 60, 70, 80, 90, & 100 Class marks – midpoint of the classes: 65, 75, 85, 95 Frequency – The number of times the score occurred in the data set. Relative Frequency – The ratio of data within the class to all the data. Cumulative Frequency – The sum of the frequency for a particular class and all previous classes. Cumulative Relative Frequency – The ratio of the cumulative frequency of a class to all the data

Frequency Distribution Histograms Create 4 histograms: for frequency, relative frequency, cumulative frequency, and cumulative relative frequency. Scores will be on x-axis, frequencies on y-axis.

Simply place a dot to represent each piece of data above the corresponding class/interval. | | | | A tally chart is another way to show the frequencies. Simply place a line to represent each piece of data next to the corresponding class/interval.
