Question

8.spa.4
which is the better definition of frequency table?
○ data where the values of the variables are merely the names of discrete categories.
○ the point at which a function crosses the y - axis.
○ a table that lists items and uses tally marks to record and show the number of times they occur.
○ how often something happens.

Explanation:

A frequency table is a tool used to organize and display how often each item or category appears in a dataset, typically using tally marks or numerical counts to record these occurrences. The other options describe unrelated concepts: the first option defines frequency itself, not a frequency table; the third describes a y-intercept; the fourth describes categorical variable labeling.

Answer:

A table that lists items and uses tally marks to record and show the number of times they occur.
