Question

What are the disadvantages of frequency table?

Answer 1

One disadvantage is that it is difficult to comprehend complex data sets that are displayed on a frequency table. Large data sets can be divided into interval classes for easy visualization using a frequency table. For example, if you asked the next 100 people you see what their age was, you would likely get a wide range of answers spanning anywhere from three to ninety-three. Rather than including rows for every age in your frequency table, you could classify the data into intervals, such as 0 - 10 years, 11 - 20 years, 21 - 30 years and so on. This may also be referred to as a grouped frequency distribution.
