What do Frequency Tables List?
A frequency distribution table for quantitative data lists, in table format, the following:
1. All classes of grouped data
2. Tallies of those classes
3. Frequencies of those classes
4. Relative frequencies of those classes
5. Grand total of # of classes, frequencies and relative frequencies

Frequency Table to Histogram
What do frequency tables enable statisticians to construct?
They enable construction of histograms
What do frequency tables enable statisticians to see?
They enable them to see how data naturally group into classes.

Discrete Frequency Table: ExampleSuppose there are 2000 families in a small town
and the distribution of children among them is as follows:
300 families have no children
400 families have 1 child
700 families have 2 children
300 families have 3 children
100 families have 4 children
100 families have 5 children
100 families have 6 children
Make a frequency table of the data

Making a Frequency Distribution Table
• I want to survey my classes on the subject of SIBLINGS. I want students to tell me the number of siblings that they have.
• The result will answer my question,
“What is the number of siblings for Intro Stats students in this period class?”
![Page 8: The Frequency Table or Frequency Distribution Table What is it? Not a graph itself, but a prelude to an important statistical graph](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519b14055034660578b45cd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Discrete Frequency Tables
Each SIBLING represents a class of its own
SIBLING is a __________ _________ variable and so it is possible to make classes of only one value, which we will do in our survey. This will be one of the few examples of a single number class that we will explore.

Discrete vs. Continuous Frequency TablesIn the sibling survey, each sibling represented a class
of its own
Sibling is a __________ ________ variable and so it is possible to make classes of only one value
However, most of the data we will be looking at will be of the continuous type
The next in-class survey will be “hair length” to the nearest inch—Hair Length is a _________ _________variable and so
Class widths will no longer be 1.

Frequency Distribution Table Definitions
What is a class on a frequency table?
One line on a frequency table
Determine these 2 things about Classes before constructing any Frequency Distribution Table:
1.Determine the starting point of the first class
2. Determine class widths before tallying begins
![Page 18: The Frequency Table or Frequency Distribution Table What is it? Not a graph itself, but a prelude to an important statistical graph](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519b14055034660578b45cd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Making a Frequency Distribution Table
• I want to survey my classes on the subject of hair length. I want students to estimate the ‘average’ length of the hair on their heads. I want everyone to use the rulers available to measure their hair to the nearest 1”.
• This will help me answer the question, “How long is the average hair on an Intro Stats student in This Class?”

When?
When to use a frequency table?
When quantitative variables take on so many values (in so great a range or spread) that a graph of a distribution is clearer if nearby values are grouped together, or simply
when you want to draw a histogram.
![Page 23: The Frequency Table or Frequency Distribution Table What is it? Not a graph itself, but a prelude to an important statistical graph](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519b14055034660578b45cd/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Characteristics of the Classes in Frequency Table
1. Data is put in classes—A class could be 1 number or more than 1 number
2. Every class represents the same variable
3. Classes are not overlapping
4. Classes all have the same width
5. Classes vary from 4 to 10, depending on the spread of observations in the data set
![Page 24: The Frequency Table or Frequency Distribution Table What is it? Not a graph itself, but a prelude to an important statistical graph](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519b14055034660578b45cd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Other Frequency Table DefinitionsClass Width
A class width is a distance: the first entry on the second line of a frequency table MINUS the first entry on the first line of a frequency table
Consistency in Class Widths
Class widths must ALWAYS be consistent for all classes in a frequency table
Number of Classes
The count of the # of lines that have been filled in on a frequency table, including zeroes if they are between filled-in lines.

The Number of Cell Phones in your Household
I want to survey my classes on the subject of CELL PHONES. I want students to tell me the number of operating cell phone that are located in their household, including cell phones for parents (both personal and work cell phones), siblings, etc.
The result will answer my question, “What is the number of CELL PHONES for
the household of Intro Stats students in this period class?”
![Page 34: The Frequency Table or Frequency Distribution Table What is it? Not a graph itself, but a prelude to an important statistical graph](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519b14055034660578b45cd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Discrete vs. Continuous Frequency Tables
Today, we will conduct a survey in class, counting the number of cell phones per household.
As you take notes, please think about how many cell phones are used in your household.
Cell Phone is a ________ ________ variable, so it is possible to make classes of only one value.
![Page 35: The Frequency Table or Frequency Distribution Table What is it? Not a graph itself, but a prelude to an important statistical graph](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5519b14055034660578b45cd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
The Conventions of Writing Classes for Frequency Tables with Discrete Quantitative Variables
Rules or Conventions for Discrete Classes (such as cell phones & siblings):
1. Inequalities are not required when class width is 1
2. If class width is > 1, use the rules for continuous classes
3. Data may never fall into more than 1 class

How to Write Classes for Discrete Quantitative Variables
ExampleIn a survey of cell phones in a family, each quantity
could become its own classClass A 0 cell phones Class B 1 cell phone Class C 2 cell phones
Or we could group this data into wider classes Class A 0 ≤ x < 2 cell phonesClass B 2 ≤ x < 4 cell phonesClass C 4 ≤ x < 6 cell phones

The Conventions of Writing Classes for Frequency Tables with Continuous Quantitative Variables
Rules or Conventions for Continuous Classes:
1. The first inequality ALWAYS is a less than or equal (≤) sign
2. The second inequality is always a less than sign (<)
3. An x is written in between the two signs
4. ‘x’ should be defined
5. Data may NEVER fall into more than one class
Example
In a hair length survey, our first class might be 0”≤x<3”
Next class might be 3”≤x<6”, etc.
