Today we're going to make frequency distribution tables! Let's start with the blood groups you collected.
What do we need to do first?
We need to count how many times each blood group appears. Let's list them out.
So for blood group A, we need to find how many A's there are?
Exactly! Count and note how many A's you found.

Now that we have our frequency table, how can we find the most common blood group?
Do we just look for the highest frequency?
Exactly! And what about the least common one?
That would be the lowest frequency, right?
Perfect! Always remember to check the counts to analyze your results!

For the distances traveled by engineers, we will create a grouped frequency distribution. What does that involve?
We need to define ranges, right? Like 0-5 km, 5-10 km?
Exactly! What are the class intervals we should use?
0-5, 5-10, and so on until the highest distance.
Well done! Now we can categorize the distances into these intervals and count the frequencies!
Introduction & Overview
Read summaries of the section's main ideas at different levels of detail.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, students learn to create frequency distribution tables from different datasets, including blood groups, distances, humidity, heights, and more. They also analyze these tables to identify common and least common occurrences.
Detailed
Exercise 14.2
This exercise encourages students to apply their understanding of data representation by requiring them to construct frequency distribution tables from various datasets. The first task involves analyzing the blood groups of students, wherein students will categorize the data into a frequency distribution table and identify the most and least common blood groups. The second task focuses on distances traveled by engineers, directing students to create a grouped frequency distribution table which aggregates the data into specified ranges. Similar instructions are given for relative humidity and heights of students. By engaging with these problems, students will solidify their skills in organizing data effectively, which is crucial for further statistical analysis and presentations.
Key Concepts
-
Frequency Distribution Table: A table that displays how frequently each value occurs in a dataset.
-
Grouped Data: Organizing data points into ranges or intervals to make analysis easier.
Examples & Applications
Example of blood groups recorded: A, B, O, O, and AB. By creating a frequency table, one can find the counts for each group.
After grouping distances into intervals like 0-5, 5-10, etc., one can summarize how many engineers fall under each range.
