The frequency is just a way for us to know how often an event occurred.

Please find attached the frequency distribution table.

Class with greatest frequency is; Class 30 - 39

Class with least frequency is; Class 20 - 29

Now, we are told to construct a frequency distribution for the given data using 5 classes.

  • Looking at the given data, the lowest number is 0 while the highest number is 49.

This means the 5 classes will be as follows;

0 - 9

10 - 19

20 - 29

30 - 39

40 -49

  • From the given table, the classes have the following frequency;

0 - 9; 5

10 - 19; 4

20 - 29; 1

30 - 39; 6

40 -49; 4

Class with greatest frequency is; Class 30 - 39

Class with least frequency is; Class 20 - 29

This means the sample size is; n = 5 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 4 = 20

  • Relative frequency is; class frequency/sample size

Thus for the classes, we have Rel. Freq as;

0 - 9; 5/20 =0.25

10 - 19; 4/20 = 0.2

20 - 29; 1/20 = 0.05

30 - 39; 6/20 = 0.3

40 -49; 4/20 = 0.2

  • Midpoint is; (lower class limit + upper class limit)/2

Thus, we have;

0 - 9; (0 + 9)/2 = 4.5

10 - 19;  (10 + 19)/2 = 14.5

20 - 29;  (20 + 29)/2 = 24.5

30 - 39;  (30 + 39)/2 = 34.5

40 -49;  (40 + 49)/2 = 44.5

  • Cumulative frequency is the sum of the frequency of that class and all the previous classes together.

Thus, we have;

0 - 9; 5

10 - 19; 4 + 5 = 9

20 - 29; 1 + 9 = 10

30 - 39; 6 + 10 = 16

40 -49; 4 + 16 = 20
