    Study Notes

    Introduction to Frequency Tables

    • A frequency table is a two-column representation showing possible outcomes alongside their respective frequencies in a given sample.
    • Example: Favorite colors of 20 students can be organized into a frequency table to display how often each color is chosen.

    Frequency Table for Qualitative Data

    • A list of colors chosen by students:
      • Responses included "purple", "red", "blue", "green", "yellow", and "orange".
    • Frequency counts for each color:
      • Blue: 4, Green: 6, Orange: 1, Purple: 3, Red: 3, Yellow: 3

    Listed Data vs. Grouped Data

    • Listed Data: Each observation is recorded as it appears, without any grouping.
    • Grouped Data: Data is categorized into equal intervals, creating class intervals on the real number line where each observation can easily fit.

    Example of Constructing a Frequency Table

    • Numerical variable example provided with data points:
      • 2, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4, 4, 7, 5, 2, 7, 4, 5, 3, 2, 2, 5, 7, 2, 4.
    • Constructing a frequency table for this data helps summarize and analyze distributions effectively.
