How many types are there of frequency distribution?
Introduction:Frequency distribution is used to compress and summarize the whole data by grouping the data into classes and records the data points that fall in each class. The frequency distribution is considered as the base for descriptive statistics and they are also used to define the ordinal, nominal and the interval data. Frequency distribution is the comfortable way of grouping and organizing the data.Example of Frequency Distribution:Consider the frequency table for the students in a class where the data has been grouped according to the height of the students. Range of height Total number of student's cumulative frequency3.0 - 4.5 feet 15 154.5 - 5.0 feet 20 355.0 - 6.5 feet 25 506.5 - 7.0 feet 30 80In the case of nominal data the use of the contingency table is required. The frequency distributions are used to present the data graphically.Types of Frequency Distributions:There are three types of frequency distributions. Cumulative frequency distribution,Grouped frequency distribution,Cumulative Grouped frequency distribution.Cumulative frequency distribution (type 1):The cumulative frequency can be found from the frequency distribution by adding the cumulative frequency column. The highest cumulative frequency should be equal to the total number of frequenciesTemperature Frequency Cumulative frequency47 3 2246 3 1945 4 1544 3 1243 3 9Grouped frequency distribution (type 2):The grouped frequency distribution can be formed by grouping the values together into the class intervals.

What is the name for a relative frequency distribution shown by heights?
Are you talking about a histogram of the relative frequency distribution.
What are the importance of frequency distribution tables?
What are the importance of frequency
How is a frequency distribution converted to a relative frequency distribution?
The relative frequency of a class is the frequency of the class divided by the total number of frequencies of the class and is generally expresses as a percentage.
What is the most usual kind of frequency distribution?
binominal distribution
What is derived frequency distribution?
It is derived frequency distribution. XD
Under what circumstances should you use a grouped frequency distribution instead of a regular frequency distibution?
You should use a grouped frequency when you have a wide range of scores.
What is the difference of frequency distribution and relative frequency distribution?
A frequency distribution lists each value in the distribution and the number times it appears, while a relative frequency distribution reports the proportion of cases reporting each value
What is the cumulative column frequency distribution table?
Cumulative Frequency is The total of a frequency and all frequencies so far in a frequency distribution. It is the 'running total' of frequencies in the frequency distribution table.
What are the disadvantages of frequency distribution in points?
What are the disadvantages of frequency distribution tables
A grouped frequency distribution is used when the range of data values is relatively small. True or false?
False. When the range is large you would use a grouped frequency distribution.

Can frequency distribution contain qualitative data?
frequency distribution contain qualitative data
Is the cummulative frequency distribution a relative frequency distribution expressed in absolute numbers?
in form of percent
What is the name for a relative frequency distribution shown by heights?
Are you talking about a histogram of the relative frequency distribution.
What is simple frequency distribution table?
The frequency distribution table lists all the possible events and how many times (frequency) they occurred.
When do you use a histogram?
when you are trying to represent a frequency distribution or when you want to fool around with a girl
