Grouped Frequency Tables
Use grouped data when n is large.
Learning objectives
- Define and explain grouped frequency tables.
- Apply grouped frequency tables to a focused FBISE question.
- Check the answer for correct terms, evidence, working, and units.
Definition
Use grouped data when n is large. You choose classes, count how many values land in each class, and write that count as frequency. After grouping you no longer know each original mark, only the class it fell in. That is why grouped means and medians are estimates that use class marks or running totals.
