Question

2 which of the following defines absolute frequency? percentage of value divided by the total number of data observations number that represents the number of times a value appears in a data set number of values in the data set percentage of value plus all data values before it in the frequency distribution skip 1/10 complete

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of absolute frequency, we analyze each option:

• "Percentage of value divided by the total number of data observations" describes relative frequency (or percentage frequency), not absolute frequency.
• "Number that represents the number of times a value appears in a data set" matches the definition of absolute frequency, as it counts how often a value occurs.
• "Number of values in the data set" is the total number of observations (the sample size or population size), not the frequency of a specific value.
• "Percentage of value plus all data values before it in the frequency distribution" describes cumulative relative frequency, not absolute frequency.

Answer:

The option that defines absolute frequency is: "Number that represents the number of times a value appears in a data set"
