Question

I have quantitative data and I'm trying to make a frequency table based on my question :How much money do you spend buying groceries?

My data is from least to greatest
$100,$100,$150,$150,$200,$200,$200,$200,$200, $200,$300

Can someone help me set up this frequency table?

Answer 1

@jim_thompson5910 can you help me please?

Answer 2

Draw a two column table with the left column being value and the right being frequency

Answer 3

$100 is the first item

how many times does it come up?

Answer 4

twice

Answer 5

So we will have this row

Answer 6

but on a video I watched it confused me because it said if your data was large you had to use intervals and subtract the highest number minus the lowest number (range) or something like that

Answer 7

you use intervals when it comes to grouped frequency tables

normal frequency tables simply list each unique value and how many times that value shows up

Answer 8

okay so for my data I don't need to make a grouped frequency table?

Answer 9

you decide either way, but you can get away with doing a simple frequency distribution

Answer 10

okay, I'm also doing another frequency table.. so for one I'll do a simple and the other I'll make a grouped one.

Answer 11

sure that works

Answer 12

okay i have another question @jim_thompson5910

Answer 13

Answer 14

it's about box plots. my project said I needed at least one box plot. So the question it's based on: How many people are you buying groceries for?

My data is 1,1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,6,6

how can I make a box plot?

Answer 15

what is the median of that data set?

Answer 16

I got 2.5 because there were two numbers in the middle

Answer 17

Answer 18

I see where I messed up it's 2
