A frequency distribution table includes:
|
||||
|
||||
- A number of classes, all of the same width.
|
||||
- This number is arbitrarily chosen, but a commonly used formula is $\lceil\sqrt{\text{# of elements}}\rceil$.
|
||||
- This number is arbitrarily chosen, but a commonly used formula is $\lceil1+3.3\log({\text{# of elements})}\rceil$.
|
||||
- The width (size) of each class is $\lceil\frac{\text{max} - \text{min}}{\text{# of classes}}\rceil$.
|
||||
- Each class includes its lower bound and excludes its upper bound ($\text{lower} ≤ x < \text{upper}$)
|
||||
- The **relative frequency** of a data set is the percentage of the whole data set present in that class in decimal form.
