Document Summary
An organized tabulation of the number of individuals located in each category on the scale of measurement. Possible to draw a vertical line through the middle so that one side of the distribution is a mirror image of the other. Scores tend to pile up toward one end of the scale and taper off gradually at the other end. Use the frequency distribution table to determine how many subjects were in the study. There were 10 subjects in the study because 2 + 4 + 1 + 0 + 3 = 10. A grouped frequency distribution table has categories of 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, and 30-39. The width is 10 because 29. 5-19. 5 = 10. You can determine how many individuals had each score from a frequency distribution table. This is true because f shows this value. You can determine how many individuals had each score from a grouped frequency distribution.
