Make a frequency table and a histogram, then describe the general shape of the distribution. I understand what a frequency table and histogram are, but can I make them right on the worksheet I am working on (Microsoft word) or do I need to do it on excel? Confused on how to describe the general shape of the distributio

Answer 1

there are different ways to produce a table, and I think what's particularly useful for this one is the tree-leaf method, as for the graph, it's basic

Answer 2

I just want to know how to make a frequency table and histogram on my computer because i take online classes?

Answer 3

do you have any programming software

Answer 4

no….

Answer 5

I've never used excel on this one, but I am sure it is the same
you catalogue it in an x-y plane for every data point you have and the same value stacks up

Answer 6

okay well this is how a histogram looks

Answer 7

try inputting your values in an excel program and then use the auto-sort tool into increasing order

Answer 8

the good thing about the leaf-method I was talking about because it shows you right away the shape of the histogram

Answer 9

I know what they look like but I am doing a worksheet for my Statistics class, and its online…. so thats why I was asking the easiest way to make one
