Question

frequency distribution

Answer 1

a frequency distribution is a list, table or graph that displays the frequency of various outcomes in a sample.

Answer 2

The next step after the completion of data collection is to organize the data into a meaningful form so that a trend, if any, emerging out of the data can be seen easily. One of the common methods for organizing data is to construct frequency distribution. Frequency distribution is an organized tabulation/graphical representation of the number of individuals in each category on the scale of measurement.[1] It allows the researcher to have a glance at the entire data conveniently. It shows whether the observations are high or low and also whether they are concentrated in one area or spread out across the entire scale. Thus, frequency distribution presents a picture of how the individual observations are distributed in the measurement scale.
