Explanation:

Step1: Count frequency of each value

Count the number of times each raisin - count value appears in the data set. For example, for 45, count the number of 45s in the list: 48, 49, 48, 50, 48, 49, 50, 51, 45, 47, 46, 48, 45, 49, 48, 47, 51, 47, 48, 46. There are 2 values of 45.

Step2: Check option a

In option a, it correctly lists the individual values (45 - 51) and their corresponding frequencies. For 45, the frequency is 2; for 46, the frequency is 2; for 47, the frequency is 3; for 48, the frequency is 6; for 49, the frequency is 3; for 50, the frequency is 2; for 51, the frequency is 2.

Step3: Check option b

(No option b shown in the problem - assume checking other options). Option c groups the data into intervals. While this is a valid way to represent data, the problem asks for a frequency - table that best represents the data as individual values are given, and option a is a better fit as it shows the exact frequency of each individual value. Option d also groups the data into intervals which is not what is best for this data set where we want to see the frequency of each specific value.
