Question

A die was thrown 20 times and following scores were recorded. 2, 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4, 1 and 3.
Prepare a frequency table for the scores.

Answer 1

Step 1: Arranging numbers in ascending order
Given,
2, 1, 5, 2, 4, 3, 6, 1, 4, 2, 5, 1, 6, 2, 6, 3, 5, 4, 1 and 3
Required ascending order:
1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6.
Step 2: Representing the given data in the frequency distribution table
We have,
1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6.
Hence, the frequency table for the scores will be.
