Term
Definition
Frequency Distribution/Table   Shows how a data set is partitioned among all of several categories (or classes) by listing all of the categories along with the number of data value in each of the categories.  
🗑
Frequency   The number of original values that fall into that class.  
🗑
Lower Class Limits   The smallest numbers that can actually belong to different classes.  
🗑
Upper Class Limits   The largest numbers that can actually belong to the different classes.  
🗑
Class Boundaries   "Fence posts"; separates classes; Always 1 more class boundary than the number of classes. Find 2nd boundary by averaging the 1st class upper limit with 2nd lower limit. Add class width to get the others.  
🗑
Class Midpoints   The values in the middle of the classes & can be found by adding the lower class limit to the upper class limit and dividing the sum by two.  
🗑
Class Width   The difference between consecutive lower class limits or two consecutive lower class boundaries.  
🗑
Relative Frequency Distribution   Includes the same class limits as a frequency distribution, but the frequency of a class is replaced with a relative frequencies (a proportion) or a percentage frequency (a percent).  
🗑
Relative Frequency Histogram   Has the same shape & horizontal scale as a histogram, but the vertical scale is marked with relative frequencies instead of actual frequencies.  
🗑
Normal Distribution   "bell" shaped; Frequencies start low, then increase to one or two high frequencies, then decreases to a low frequency. approx symmetric  
🗑
Histogram   Class boundaries, class midpoints, lower class limits. Horizontal: use class boundaries or class midpoints. Vertical: use class frequencies.  
🗑
Cumulative Frequency Distribution   Example: instead of 60-69 it will list "Less than 70"  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
