ANATOMY OF A QUALITATIVE FREQUENCY TABLE START HERE: Data: Tally (count) occurrences of each category of the item. f: Frequency of occurrence of a given category or value (based upon a tally or count of individual occurrences of this variable category) Title Blue: 11111 = 10 Brown: 11111 11 = 12 Green: 11111 1 = 11 Orange: 111 = 3 Red: 11111 = 8 Yellow: 11111 111 = 13 Variable: Color Categories: Data values distinguished by a nonnumeric quality (Blue, etc. ) Color of m&m's in One 1. 69 Oz. Bag Color f rf Blue 10 0. 175 Brown 12 0. 211 Green 11 0. 193 Orange 3 0. 053 Red 8 0. 140 Yellow 13 0. 228 1) See START HERE. All tables start out as values counted in to categories. Totals 57 1. 00 2) List the categories of the variable (Color). rf: Relative Frequency - number (n) in a category divided by the total number of items (N). Here 10 Blue/57 Total =. 175. NOTE: Multiply this by 100 to obtain the percent of all 57 candies represented by the blue color (17. 5%) Building a Qualitative Frequency Table: 3) List the frequency (f) of each category and a total sum. Total f: the sum of all frequencies Total rf: will sum to 1. 00 4) Calculate the relative frequency of each category by dividing the frequency of the category by the total. 5) Add a title and any other information that may aid in understanding the table.
