    Sort and Construct a Frequency Table

     

    This is some extra material I am giving so that you can construct frequency tables from raw data using your calculator.

     

    Example: The following data represents the number of typos in a sample of 30 books published by some publisher.

    156

    159

    162

    Construct a frequency table (by sorting in your calculator). Also construct a bar chart.

     

    Example: Following is some data on the hourly wages (paid only in whole dollars) in some industry.

    Construct a class frequency table (by sorting in your calculator) using the classes 7-9, 10-12,13-15, 16-18, 19-21. Now also construct a bar graph for the class frequency table.
