• Raw Score – is a data point that has not yet been
transformed of analyzed
• Frequency Distribution – describes the pattern of a
set of numbers by
• Frequency Table – is a visual depiction of data that
shows how often each value occurred, that is, how
many scores were at each value.
• Frequency Polygon – is a line graph with x-axis
representing values(or midpoints of intervals) and the y-
axis representing the frequencies

Steps on how to Create Frequency
Distribution
1. Determine the number of data
2. Determine the lowest value (Min.) and the highest value (Max.)
3. Determine the range.
Max – Min = Range
4. Determine number of intervals
5. Plot the frequency distribution table

Steps on how to Create Grouped
Frequency Distribution
1. Determine the number of data
2. Determine the lowest value (Min.) and the highest value (Max.)
3. Determine the range.
Max – Min = Range
4. Determine number of intervals
5. Compute for the class width
W= (Range/k)
6. Plot the Grouped frequency distribution table

4. Determine number of class intervals (k)
5. Compute for the class width
W= (Range+1)/k
6. Plot the Grouped frequency distribution table
7. Compute for the midpoint of each class intervals
(LCL+UCL)/2
8. Plot the frequency polygon using the computed midpoints as the x-axis and the frequency
as the y axis
