Answer:
When collecting data the number of times a particular item
occurs is called its frequency.
Shoe Size |
Frequency |
|
5 |
2 |
6 |
5 |
7 |
9 |
8 |
6 |
9 |
3 |
For example, suppose the shoe sizes of the 25 people in a
class were recorded and the shoe size 7 occurred 9 times.
Then the frequency of shoe size 7 was 9.
The table is called
a frequency table. The information in the table can be illustrated
using a frequency diagram. |
