1. DESCRIBING DATA: 1

2. FREQUENCIES and FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTIONS

3. Example of a frequency distribution for a NOMINAL variable

4. Example of a frequency distribution for an ORDINAL variable

5. INTERVAL Data: Problem. So many distinct values

6. Alternative solution. Grouped frequency distribution consisting of CLASS INTERVALS.

7. The issue of interval width Rule of thumb: –no fewer than 10 and no more than 20 intervals

8. Percentaging Frequency Distributions

9. Percentaging is particularly useful for two-way frequency tables
