Relative frequency and percentage frequency

Relative frequency =

Percentage frequency = relative frequency x 100

Example

Relative Percentage
Class limit Frequency Midpoint
Frequency frequency (%)
46-49 3 3/30= 0.1 3/30×100= 10 46+49/2= 47.5
50-53 8 8/30= 0.27 8/30×100= 27 50+53/2= 51.5
54-57 8 8/30= 0.27 8/30×100= 27 54+57/2= 55.5

Crosstabulation
Is a tabular summary of data for two variables crosstabulation can be used when:
- one variable is qualitative and the other is quantitative
- both variables are qualitative
- both variables are quantitative

Example
Length 143 146 153 140 155 154 157 148 149 152 146 144
Weight 55 52 57 59 65 57 64 51 59 54 55 52

Length
Range = (157-140) + 1= 18
K=1+3.322 log (12) = 4.5 ≈ 5
Class width =18/5 = 3.6 ≈ 4

Weight
Range = (65-51) + 1= 15
Class width = 15/5 = 3
