Types of Frequency Distribution
It is not always possible for an investigator to easily measure the items of a series or set of data. To make the data simple and easy to read and analyze, the items of the series are placed within a range of values or limits. In other words, the given raw set of data is categorized into different classes with a range, known as Class Intervals. Every item of the given series is put against a class interval with the help of tally bars. The number of items occurring in the specific range or class interval is shown under Frequency against that particular class range to which the item belongs.
