Frequency Distribution

A frequency distribution is a graphical or tabular representation, that exhibits the number of observations within a given interval. The interval size entirely depends on the data being analyzed and the goals of the analyst. The intervals must be collectively exclusive and exhaustive.

Visual Representation of a Frequency Distribution:

Both bar charts and histograms provide a visual display using columns, with the y-axis representing the frequency count, and the x-axis representing the variables to be measured. In the height of children, for instance, the y-axis is the number of children, and the x-axis is the height. The columns represent the number of children noticed with heights measured in each interval.

Types of Frequency Distribution:

The types of the frequency distribution are as follows:

  1. Grouped frequency distribution
  2. Ungrouped frequency distribution
  3. Cumulative frequency distribution
  4. Relative frequency distribution
  5. Relative cumulative frequency distribution
