Example Question - tally frequency

Creating Discrete Frequency Distribution

To create a discrete frequency distribution from the data given, you should count how many times each number (which in this context represents the number of children in a family) appears in the dataset. From the data provided in the image, let's tally the frequency of each number: - 0 children: Count the number of times '0' appears - 1 child: Count the number of times '1' appears - 2 children: Count the number of times '2' appears - 3 children: Count the number of times '3' appears - 4 children: Count the number of times '4' appears - 5 children: Count the number of times '5' appears - 6 children: Count the number of times '6' appears - ... and so forth for every distinct number of children in the list. Once you have the counts for each, you structure the discrete frequency distribution as follows: | Number of Children | Frequency | |--------------------|-----------| | 0 | frequency of 0 | | 1 | frequency of 1 | | 2 | frequency of 2 | | 3 | frequency of 3 | | 4 | frequency of 4 | | etc. | etc. | Fill in the frequencies based on your tally for each number of children. This will complete the discrete frequency distribution.
