Suppose you wanted to create a frequency table of the age of students within an Introductory Business Statistics class.  Given the data in the table below, enter the data and complete the frequency table.

Ages No. of students
15-18 3
19-22 3
23-26 9
27-30 5
31-34 7
35-38 7

Make the following entries.  Enter 15-18 in cell A2; 19-22 in cell A3;  23-26 in cell A4; 27-30 in cell A5;  31-34 in cell A6; and 35-38 in cell A7. Next, enter the frequency values: 3 in cell B2, 3 in cell B3, 9 in cell B4, 5 in cell B5, 7 in cell B6, and 7 in cell B6.

Cumulative Frequency (Cum. Freq.is a running total of the frequency values.

Relative Frequency (Rel. Freq.) is the frequency value divided by the total frequency.

Cumulative Relative Frequency (Cum. Rel. Freqis the cumulative frequency divided by the total frequency.
