GRAPHIC PRESENTATION OF

FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION

•The best way to represent data
is the graphics .

WE SHALL REPRESENT DIFFERENT
KIND OF GRAPHS:

Qualitative data: Quantitative data:

1. Bar chart 1. Histogram
2. Pie chart 2. Polygon or Curve
3. Ogive

 1-QUALITATIVE DATA:
Example: Here are the five worst passwords: a study shows
the following result among 1,000 persons surveyed:
password No. of people used
123456 500
12345 300

2. PIE CHART

A circle graph is a circular chart

divided into sectors, illustrating
relative frequencies or percent.
Degree= R.V. * 360

 classes frequency Relative Degree=

DATA :

NOTES:

• Class frequency: The number of

observations in each class.
• Class relative frequency: The percent
of observations in each class.
• Class cumulative frequency: The total
observations up to certain class

10
vClass Midpoint: A point that divides a class into two
equal parts, i.e. the average of the upper and lower class
limits.
Midpoint = (upper limit + lower limit) / 2

vClass interval (width) is class width or class size

= lower limit of - the lower limit.
next class of class

11
 1. HISTOGRAM

• A graph in which the classes are

marked on the horizontal axis and the
class frequencies on the vertical axis.
• The class frequencies are represented
by the heights of the bars.

12
EXAMPLE:

Consider the guessed weights (lbm) collected in our

first class from 62 students
140 135 140 160 175 150 152 155 155 165 145
150 154 160 143 160 170 155 140 160 160 175
140 145 150 150 152 159 160 165 145 155 150
150 165 148 152 155 155 160 172 180 141 147
155 165 170 160 140 150 150 152 155 130 155
163 170 139 165 180 180 190

13
• Problem:
1. organize it into a frequency distribution
table by 6 classes.
2. draw a histogram

14
 SOLUTION

1. R = 190 – 130 = 60
2. No. of Class = 6
3. Class interval = 60 / 6 = 10

 2. POLYGON

• A frequency polygon consists of

line segments connecting the
points formed by the class
midpoint and the class frequency.

FROM PREVIOUS EXAMPLE
DRAW THE POLYGON ?

3. OGIVE

• The ogive is a graph that represent the

cumulative frequencies for the classes
in a frequency distribution.
• The ogive is draw by cumulative
frequency and the lower limit of
classes

FROM PREVIOUS EXAMPLE
DRAW THE OGIVE ?
