'Grouped frequency table: modal group, range' for 8th grade

Grouped frequency tables: modal group, largest range

Continuous data can be represented in a "Grouped frequency table" where each class (group) covers the data points within a certain range, and the classes together cover the entire range of the data.

The benefit of grouped frequency tables becomes clear when there are so many raw data points that discrete values would become difficult to process. A limitation of continuous data is that individual data points are lost so that exact calculations of the mode or range of the original discrete data points becomes impossible. Instead techniques have been developed to approximate these values for continuous data.

Instead of a mode (the most frequent individual value in a data set), we can find the "modal group" which is the class of data that has the highest frequency. So if we have a grouped frequency table with classes 1-20, 21-40 and 41-60 that have frequencies of 12, 7 and 5 respectively, then the modal group is 1-20 because it has the highest frequency of 12.

Instead of an absolute value for the range of a data set, we can find the "largest range". This is the difference between the largest possible value in the biggest class and the smallest value in the smallest class. So if our grouped frequency table has classes 21-40, 41-60 and 61-80, then the largest range is 80 minus 21 which is 59.

In this topic you are asked to find either the modal group or the largest range for a series of grouped frequency tables. There are 8 question/answer pairs in the lessons, and an additional 8 question/answer pairs in all the games and tests.

With these interactive math lessons you will be learning "Grouped frequency table: modal group, range" from
8th grade / Statistics / Continuous data in 3 easy steps. The math in our lessons consists of 8 questions that ask you to identify the modal group or largest range for each grouped frequency table.

How to use our tutorials to learn
'Grouped frequency table: modal group, range' for 8th grade

Introduction to the math topic

You start the tutorial with a lesson that introduces the math you will be learning. You will see a set of questions one at a time, and for each question you will see the written answer and also hear the answer to that question.

Repeat the question/answer by clicking on the brown speaker sign. Repeat the question/answer and expand the question graphic by clicking on the question box. Move between questions using the arrow buttons below the question. If there is additional information available for your chosen topic, the "i" button on the left upright bar will be brown on white. Click on the button to load the additional lesson information into the main interface.


Either / Or math lesson

This lesson moves on from the "Introduction" lesson and offers you two possible answers to each question. So, you will see a question then a voice will ask "Is this ... or is it ..." and you will have to choose which of the answers is the one that matches the question.

You choose an answer by clicking or tapping on one of the two answer boxes below the question. You can play the audio for each answer again by clicking on the speaker icon beside the written answer (if robot speech is available and enabled). The program will let you know each time whether you answered correctly. A star will light up red for a wrong answer or white/black for a correct answer.

This lesson asks you the questions in a random order compared to the introduction. At the end of the lesson, you can choose whether to repeat the lesson or move on to the next one.


What is it? math lesson

The final lesson of the tutorial shows you multiple possible answers for each question - you must choose the correct one. You are asked a question and below it are a list of two, three, or four possible written/numeric answers from this topic. Pressing the speaker icon will play the math audio for that answer.

For each picture, click on the answer that matches the question. The program will tell you whether you are right or not. As with the Either / Or activity a system of stars indicate your right and wrong answers. The What is it? lesson will show you all the questions you learned in the Introduction but in a random order.


When you complete the "What is it?" lesson, you can choose whether to go on to play some games with this topic, or whether you want to repeat some or all of the lesson activities in this tutorial. You should expect to get 80% of the answers correct in most of the activities before trying some of the Math games with this topic.
