Question

2 which of the following describes the composition of a frequency table?

• can include from 1 to 4 columns
• must include at least 2 columns but can include up to 4 columns
• can include 2 columns but no more than 5
• must include at least 4 columns

Explanation:

A frequency table is used to organize data. Typically, a basic frequency table has at least two columns: one for the categories (or values) of the data and one for the frequencies (how often each category/value occurs). It can also have additional columns for relative frequency, cumulative frequency, etc., but the minimum is 2 columns, and it can have up to 4 (or more in some cases, but the option here says up to 4). The other options are incorrect: it can't have 1 column (needs at least category and frequency), it's not limited to 2 - 5, and it doesn't need at least 4. So the correct option is "Must include at least 2 columns but can include up to 4 columns".

Answer:

Must include at least 2 columns but can include up to 4 columns
