Understanding Frequency Tables

In this video, Mr. Jay explains how to create a frequency table using scores from an algebra pop quiz. He begins by introducing the concept of frequency tables as a tool for organizing and displaying data. The video then walks through an example, starting with identifying the lowest and highest scores, and proceeds to draw and label the table with columns for scores, tallies, and frequencies. Mr. Jay demonstrates how to fill in the table with data, tally the scores, and calculate the frequency of each score. The video concludes with a summary of the process.
