What is a Frequency Table?

A frequency table is a statistical tool that organizes data by displaying how often each distinct value occurs in a dataset. It provides a structured way to summarize data distribution through counts and percentages.

Absolute Frequency

The actual count of how many times each value appears in the dataset.

  • Raw counts
  • Direct observations
  • Actual frequencies

Relative Frequency

The proportion or percentage of each value in relation to the total.

  • Proportions
  • Percentages
  • Ratios

Key Components

Essential Elements:

  • Categories or values
  • Frequency counts
  • Relative frequencies
  • Cumulative frequencies

Optional Elements:

  • Class intervals
  • Percentage distribution
  • Summary statistics
  • Visual representations

Academic Example: Final Exam Scores Distribution

Distribution of final exam scores for 100 students in a statistics course.

Grade Distribution

Key Insights:

  • Mode: Grade C (Most common grade)
  • 40% of students received grades B or higher
  • Only 5% of students failed the exam
  • The distribution shows a roughly normal curve

This frequency table helps instructors understand the overall class performance, identify areas for improvement, and compare with expected grade distributions.
