Read each question carefully and follow the instructions to create or interpret frequency tables.
1. A table is a way to organize data by showing how often each item or value appears.
2. The of an item in a frequency table is the number of times it occurs in the data set.
3. To find the total number of data points, you need to sum all the in the frequency column.
The following numbers represent the scores of 15 students on a math quiz:
