    The 80th percentile is the score below which 80% of the scores fall. Since the cumulative frequency at the 80th percentile is 81.5%, the 80th percentile is the score in the Dinamik class, which is 40.

    Frequency Distributions
    Descriptive statistical techniques should be
    performed by the researcher after collecting
    data to organize the data in order to get a
    general picture of the results.

    A frequency distribution is a method for


    organizing the data.

    Frequency Distributions (2)


    Frequency distribution is a summary of
    data that shows frequency or numbers
    according to the scale of measurement.
    A frequency distribution is the distribution
    of values that provide an overview of the
    sample.

    Frequency Distribution Tables


    The table has two columns:
    Column X represent list of categories on a scale
    of measurement (X)

    Column Y to represent the numbers of frequency


    of each X.

    The sum of the frequencies should be equal to N,


    sample size

    Frequency Distribution Tables (2)


    Other columns can be added;
    The third column represent the proportion (p)
    for each category: p = f/N. The sum of the p
    column must be equal to 1.00.
    The fourth column represent percentage
    distribution that correspond to each value of X.
    The percentage is obtained by multiplying p by
    100. The total percentage is 100.

    Regular Frequency Distribution


    A regular frequency distribution table list
    all the X values.

    Grouped Frequency Distribution


    Sometimes the set of score has a long list
    of X values , so it should be simplified by
    using a grouped frequency distribution table.

    In this table, X column called as class


    intervals, not individual values.

    Class intervals should be in the same


    range such as 2, 5, 10 and etc.

    Frequency Distribution Graphs


    A frequency distribution graph have score
    categories (X values) on the X axis and the
    frequencies on the Y axis.
    The shape of graph depend on the score
    categories.
    When the scores are of an interval or ratio
    scale, the graph will be a histogram or a
    polygon.

    Histograms
    A histogram consists of tabular
    frequencies, shown as adjacent rectangles,
    erected with an area equal to the frequency
    of the observations in the interval. The
    height of a rectangle is also equal to the
    frequency density of the interval. The total
    area of the histogram is equal to the number
    of data.

    Bar graphs
    When the scores are measured nominal or
    an ordinal scale, the bar graph is used to
    represent frequency distribution.

    Percentiles and Percentile Ranks,


    and Interpolation
    The relative location of score can be
    identified by percentiles and percentile
    ranks.
    The percentile rank for a score is the
    percentage of individual with scores equal to
    or less than the score.
    The particular score is referred as a
    percentile.
