Table 10.2 shows a set of 130 observations of spot speeds made by timing vehicles through a "trap" of 88 feet. In this example, the stopwatch data are grouped into 0.2 sec classes (a 1/5 sec stopwatch was used to obtain the data). The first column of the table shows the midpoint of each group. The second column shows the frequency of the observations. The cumulative percent shown in the third column is obtained by dividing each cumulative frequency (for example, 8 vehicles took 5 sec or longer to pass through the trap) by the total number of observations and multiplying by 100 (8 x 100/130 = 6.2 percent). The next two columns are computed to develop the average and variance of the space distribution. The sixth column indicates the speed of each time class and the last two columns are used to obtain the average speed and variance of the time distribution.
