Question

There are 40 employees in a Government Office. They were asked how many children they have. The result was:

$$\begin{gathered} 1,2,3,1,0,2,0,1,2,2,1,3,5,2,0,0,2,4,1,1 \\ 2,2,0,3,0,0,2,1,3,6,0,2,1,0,3,2,2,2,1,4 \end{gathered}$$

Construct the frequency distribution table for the given data.

Answer 1

Construction of Frequency distribution table:

Here we have to make the frequency distribution table for the number of children and number of employees.

To construct a frequency distribution table, you have to take each observation from the data, one at a time, and add it.

For example, here in the given data $0$ appears for $9$ times, so we have to count it as $9$. It shows there are $9$ employees who have $0$ children.

The similar steps, we have to follow for all the observations.

After all the observations we obtain the frequency distribution table as follows:

Number of Children	Number of Employees
$0$	$9$
$1$	$9$
$2$	$13$
$3$	$5$
$4$	$2$
$5$	$1$
$6$	$1$
