An arrangement of statistical data that exhibits the frequency of the occurrence of the values of a variable.
Definition. Frequency is the number of times a value, value range or event occurs in gathered data. For example, if you conduct a survey of your employees to see how happy they are at their jobs, and five employees answer very happy, the answer very happy has a frequency value of five. Full Definition of FREQUENCY. 1. : the fact or condition of occurring frequently. 2. a: the number of times that a periodic function repeats the same sequence of values during a unit variation of the independent variable b: the number, proportion, or percentage of items in a particular category in a set of data. 3.  Definition of FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION. : an arrangement of statistical data that exhibits the frequency of the occurrence of the values of a variable. See frequency distribution defined for kids. ADVERTISEMENT. : an arrangement of statistical data that exhibits the frequency of the occurrence of the values of a variable In statistics the frequency (or absolute frequency) of an event is the number of times the event occurred in an experiment or study. These frequencies are often graphically represented in histograms. Cumulative frequency refers to the total of the absolute frequencies of all events at or below a certain point in an ordered list of events. Definition: a frequency table is generally used to display a frequency distribution. The frequency distribution shows the total number of occurrences withing a given boundary. Example of a frequency distribution: Frequency Distribution: Calories of a beverage. Calories. Frequency. 151-160. 10. 161-170.  The height of a rectangle is also equal to the frequency density of the interval, i.e., the frequency divided by the width of the interval. The total area of the histogram is equal to the number of data. A histogram may also be normalized displaying relative frequencies. Cumulative frequency refers to the total of the absolute frequencies of all events at or below a certain point in an ordered list of events. In statistics, a frequency distribution is a table that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample. Each entry in the table contains the frequency or count of the occurrences of values within a particular group or interval, and in this way, the table summarizes the distribution of values in the sample.  Raw Data. Data collected in original form. Frequency. The number of times a certain value or class of values occurs. Frequency Distribution. The organization of raw data in table form with classes and frequencies. A frequency distribution where several numbers are grouped into one class. Class Limits. Separate one class in a grouped frequency distribution from another. The limits could actually appear in the data and have gaps between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next.
