Finding the average from the raw data requires a lot more calculations. By using frequency distributions you reduce the number of calculations.

What is the formula in finding the frequency distribution?

The frequency distribution usually refers to empirical measurement and there is no formula for finding it. You simply count the number of times an observation falls within a given range.


How can one determine the beat frequency in a given system?

To determine the beat frequency in a given system, you can calculate it by finding the difference between the frequencies of the two interacting waves. The beat frequency is the frequency at which the amplitude of the resulting wave oscillates.


What is frequency and frequency distribution?

Frequency is how often something occurs. Frequency distribution is how often something occurs within a group of separate categories or ranges. Say you had a list of exam scores from a class of students. You might want to find out how many people got between 0% and 10%, how many got between 11% and 20%, how many got between 21% and 30%, and so on. All you are interested in is the how many as compared to who actually got the scores. What you would be doing is creating a frequency distribution table. You would be finding out how many people got results in the various ranges, or how the frequency of results are distributed across these ranges.


When is finding the average not useful?

There is no meaningful average wen data are categorical (qualitative). Also, the arithmetic mean is not a good measure of central tendency when the data distribution is skewed.


What is the fx column in a frequency distribution table?

The fx column in a Frequency Distribution Table is the frequency (f) multiplied by the Class Centre or score (x). If the score is 22. And the freqency for that score is 7. fx = 22*7 = 154 You can use the total of the fx column to find the mean. The total fx divided by the total frequency = Mean.


What is the formula for finding probabilities?

The formula for finding probability depends on the distribution function.
