Frequency distribution shows the number of observations falling into each of the categories or ranges of values of a VARIABLE. Frequency distributions are often portrayed by way of a HISTOGRAM, a(FREQUENCY) POLYGON, or a frequency table. When such distribution is expressed in terms of proportions or percentages, it is known as RELATIVE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION. When the distribution represents incremental frequencies, it is known as cumulative frequency distribution.
