which of the following are characteristics of frequency tables? more than one answer may be correct.
they can be used for quantitative data.
they can be used for qualitative data.
no observation can fit into more than one class.
the percentage of observations in each class is provided.

Explanation:

1. Frequency tables organize data by counting occurrences in classes. Quantitative data (numbers like heights) can be grouped into intervals, and qualitative data (categories like colors) can be grouped by labels, so both are compatible.
2. To avoid double-counting, each observation must belong to exactly one class.
3. A basic frequency table only shows counts, not percentages—percentages are part of relative frequency tables, not all frequency tables.

Answer:

A. They can be used for quantitative data.
B. They can be used for qualitative data.
C. No observation can fit into more than one class.
