Sadly you are not since you can't even spell the word.

Relative frequency would be better because the two groups may be of different size.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

What is the advantage of relative frequency distribution vs distribution frequency?

These help to distribute the frequency much better than the latter. The noise might not be as loud or boisterous this way.


Does the size of a sample affect the values of the frequency table?

Yes. If the sample is a random drawing from the population, then as the size increases, the relative frequency of each interval from the sample should be a better estimate of the relative frequency in the population. Now, in practical terms, increasing a small sample will have a larger effect than increasing a large sample. For example, increasing a sample from 10 to 100 will have a larger effect than increasing a sample from 1000 to 10,000. The one exception to this, that I can think of, is if the focus of the study is on a very rare occurrence.


When it comes to comparing data from different distributions what is the benefit of normal standard distribution?

There may or may not be a benefit: it depends on the underlying distributions. Using the standard normal distribution, whatever the circumstances is naive and irresponsible. Also, it depends on what parameter you are testing for. For comparing whether or not two distributions are the same, tests such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or the Chi-Square goodness of fit test are often better. For testing the equality of variance, an F-test may be better.


What is the definition of percent distribution?

A frequency distribution with the total frequency equated to one hundred and the individual class frequencies expressed in proportion to that figure. :) Im so smart ;) No one better improve this answer.You welcome Person who asked this question.


Why do we use 4 different ways of representing functions in Math?

The different methods evolved separately. Also, different ways are sometimes better in different situations.
