Building a Frequency Distribution Table Step by Step
Frequency Distribution Table Construction
Overview
The animation demonstrates how a raw list of 10 sales values is transformed stepβbyβstep into a complete frequency distribution table, showing absolute frequency, relative frequency, percentage, cumulative absolute frequency, cumulative relative frequency, and cumulative percentage.
Phases
| # | Phase Name | Duration | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Data Introduction | ~4s | The 10 sales data points appear as a horizontal list in the bottom area. |
| 2 | Class Binning | ~5s | The data are grouped into appropriate class intervals (e.g., ). The intervals are displayed in the left area. |
| 3 | Absolute Frequency | ~5s | For each class, the count of data points is tallied and shown in the table column "". |
| 4 | Relative Frequency | ~4s | The relative frequency is computed and displayed in column "". |
| 5 | Percentage | ~4s | Percentages are added in column "". |
| 6 | Cumulative Absolute | ~4s | Cumulative absolute frequency is filled column "". |
| 7 | Cumulative Relative & Percent | ~4s | Cumulative relative and cumulative percent are added in columns "" and "". |
| 8 | Final Table Reveal | ~3s | The complete table fades in, and the bottom data list fades out. |
| 9 | Outro | ~2s | A brief caption summarizing the key takeaway fades in at the bottom. |

Area Descriptions
| Area | Content | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Top | Title: "ConstrucciΓ³n de la tabla de distribuciΓ³n de frecuencias" | Fades in at start of Phaseβ―1 |
| Left | The frequency table, columns added progressively per phase | Primary focus; columns appear with a smooth leftβtoβright reveal |
| Right | List of class intervals with a brief legend explaining bin width | Appears in Phaseβ―2 and stays throughout |
| Bottom | Horizontal list of the 10 raw sales values (e.g., 5, 12, 7, 22, β¦) |
Visible only in Phaseβ―1, fades out after Phaseβ―8 |
Notes
- The raw data are generated randomly but fixed for reproducibility (e.g., ).
- Class intervals are chosen to cover the data range with a convenient bin width (e.g., widthβ―=β―5).
- All numerical values are displayed with one decimal place for relative and cumulative relative columns, and with no decimals for absolute counts.
- Transitions between phases use a brief crossβfade (β0.5β―s) to keep the total runtime under 30β―seconds.
- No textual narration is used; the visual progression alone conveys the construction process.
- The final caption in the Outro reads: "La tabla muestra cΓ³mo se distribuyen las ventas en frecuencias absolutas, relativas y acumuladas."

Description
The animation starts with ten sales numbers, groups them into equal class intervals, then sequentially fills a table with absolute counts, relative frequencies, percentages, cumulative counts, cumulative relative frequencies and cumulative percentages, ending with the complete table and a summary caption.
