Frequency Distribution

Frequency distribution is a representation, either in a graphical or tabular


format that displays the number of observations within a given interval. The
intervals must be mutually exclusive and exhaustive, and the interval size
depends on the data being analyzed and the goals of the analyst. Frequency
distributions are typically used within a statistical context.
As a statistical tool, a frequency distribution provides a visual representation
for the distribution of a particular variable. Analysts often use it to show or
illustrate the data collected in a sample. For example, the height of children
can be split into several different categories or ranges. When measuring the
height of 50 children, some are tall and some are short, but there is a high
probability of a higher frequency or concentration in the middle range. The
most important factors are that the intervals used must be non-overlapping
and must contain all of the possible observations.

Sampling Distribution
A sampling distribution is a probability distribution of a statistic obtained through a
large number of samples drawn from a specific population. The sampling
distribution of a given population is the distribution of frequencies of a range of
different outcomes that could possibly occur for a statistic of a population.

Population Distribution
the arrangement or spread of people living in a given area; also, how the population
of an area is arranged according to variables such as age, race, or education etc.
For example, there can be 10 people or under per square mile in areas, such as
Russia and parts of Africa. Some areas in Asia have 100 to 250 people per square
mile. Generally speaking, the majority of the earth has 50 people or under living per
square mile. Very few areas of the Earth are uninhabited with the exception of
places like the Arctic.

Probability Distribution
A probability distribution is a statistical function that describes all the possible
values and likelihoods that a random variable can take within a given range. This
range will be between the minimum and maximum statistically possible values, but
where the possible value is likely to be plotted on the probability distribution
depends on a number of factors. These factors include the distribution's mean,

standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis. for example, the sample space of a coin
flip would be (Heads, Tails).
