it may be difficult to detect any patterns
The 2k or 2 to K rule is used to determine the number of classes for a frequency distribution. The 2k rule should be used as a guide more than a dictator of determining the number of classes for a 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

If the observations are grouped together into classes, then the number of observations for each class gives the grouped frequency distribution (FD). This kind of FD is particularly important when the data are continuous so that you are likely to have very small frequencies for a very large number of values.
A histogram would be the most appropriate type of frequency distribution graph to show the frequencies of classes held in each psychology department room. Each classroom number (100-120) would be represented on the x-axis, and the frequency of classes held in that room would be shown on the y-axis.
they may be necessary in certain situations to avoid a large number of empty ,or almost empty, classes.
Class Frequency
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.
Frequency Distribution
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...
