To construct a frequency distribution table, we first need to divide the given data into 6 classes

starting from 0.0−0.90.0 - 0.9 and proceed with equal intervals.

The data is:

0.5,1.0,1.5,1.5,1.0,2.0,2.5,2.0,3.0,2.5,3.5,3.5,4.0,4.5,3.0,3.0,2.5,2.0,1.0,0.5,2.5,3.0,4.0,3.5,4.5,5.0,
5.5,5.0,4.0,3.5,2.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.5,4.0,4.5,5.5,5.0,5.0,4.0,3.0,2.0,1.0,0.5,0.5,1.5,2.5,3.5,4.50.5, 1.0,
1.5, 1.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5, 2.0, 3.0, 2.5, 3.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 3.0, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 2.5, 3.0, 4.0, 3.5,
4.5, 5.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0, 3.5, 2.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.5, 5.0, 5.0, 4.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0, 0.5, 0.5,
1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5

Step 1: Identify the range of the data

The smallest value is 0.5, and the largest value is 5.5. Therefore, the range is:

Range=5.5−0.5=5\text{Range} = 5.5 - 0.5 = 5

Step 2: Divide the range into 6 equal classes

The class width will be:

Class Width=Range6=56≈0.8333\text{Class Width} = \frac{\text{Range}}{6} = \frac{5}{6} \


approx 0.8333

We will round the class width to 1.01.0 for simplicity.

Step 3: Create the class intervals

We start with 0.0−0.90.0 - 0.9, and continue with intervals of width 1.01.0 for the subsequent
classes:

 0.0−0.90.0 - 0.9
 1.0−1.91.0 - 1.9
 2.0−2.92.0 - 2.9
 3.0−3.93.0 - 3.9
 4.0−4.94.0 - 4.9
 5.0−5.95.0 - 5.9

Step 4: Count the frequency for each class

Now, we count how many values from the dataset fall into each class:

 0.0−0.90.0 - 0.9: Values: 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 (4 values)


 1.0−1.91.0 - 1.9: Values: 1.0, 1.0, 1.5, 1.5, 1.0, 1.0, 1.5, 1.5 (8 values)
 2.0−2.92.0 - 2.9: Values: 2.0, 2.5, 2.0, 2.5, 2.5, 2.0, 2.0, 2.5, 2.0, 2.5 (10 values)
 3.0−3.93.0 - 3.9: Values: 3.0, 3.0, 3.0, 3.5, 3.5, 3.0, 3.0, 3.5, 3.5, 3.0, 3.5, 3.0 (12 values)
 4.0−4.94.0 - 4.9: Values: 4.0, 4.5, 4.0, 4.0, 4.5, 4.0, 4.5, 4.0, 4.0, 4.5, 4.0, 4.5 (12 values)
 5.0−5.95.0 - 5.9: Values: 5.0, 5.5, 5.0, 5.0, 5.5, 5.0, 5.0, 5.0 (8 values)

Step 5: Construct the frequency distribution table

Class Interval Frequency


0.0 - 0.9 4
1.0 - 1.9 8
2.0 - 2.9 10
3.0 - 3.9 12
4.0 - 4.9 12
5.0 - 5.9 8

Step 6: Optional - Calculate cumulative frequency

To calculate the cumulative frequency (CF), we add the frequencies as we go down the table:

Class Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency (CF)


0.0 - 0.9 4 4
1.0 - 1.9 8 12
2.0 - 2.9 10 22
3.0 - 3.9 12 34
4.0 - 4.9 12 46
5.0 - 5.9 8 54

Final Frequency Distribution Table

Class Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency (CF)


0.0 - 0.9 4 4
1.0 - 1.9 8 12
2.0 - 2.9 10 22
3.0 - 3.9 12 34
4.0 - 4.9 12 46
5.0 - 5.9 8 54

This table provides the frequency distribution for the given sample data.
