Frequency Distributions

A frequency distribution is a table that pairs each item in a set of data with its frequency of occurrence (how often it appears).

Example:

Suppose you want to create a frequency distribution for the following data set: $A, D, F, B, A, F, A, D, B, F, F, A, A, E, A, D, C, B, C, A, E, F$ .

Line the letters up on the left. Tally each occurrence and count the tallies in the right hand column.
