How do you calculate absolute frequencies?

Absolute frequencies are calculated by first identifying intervals based on your data and then identifying the number of values within your data set that lie within these interval. Relative frequencies divide the absolute frequencues by the number of values in the set. It is a good practice to provide the absolute frequencies, perhaps in a bar chart of relative frequencies as a number above each bar.

What is the difference between absolute frequency and relative frequency?

absolute frequency is a term decribing the total number of trials you did. a relative frequency is the number of measurements in an interval of a frequency distribution. or the ratio of the number of times an event occurs in a series of trials of a chance experiment to the number of trials of the experiment performed. so the difference is one is the total trials, and the other...well it depends on which definition you picked...
