Frequency Distribution

Step 4: Determine Frequencies

Now we calculate the frequencies of each class by adding the number of tallies in each. Note that the sum of all class frequencies equals the total number of observations in the sample.

    Intervals Tally Frequency
    65 - 70 \\ 2
    70 - 75 \\\\ \\ 7
    75 - 80 \\\\ \\\\ \ 16
    80 - 85 \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ \ 31
    85 - 90 \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ \\\\ 24

    100 - 105 \\\\ \\\\ 10
