Understanding Frequency Tables

In this video, Mr. J explains how to create a frequency table using an example of ice cream sales data. He outlines the steps to organize data into a table with columns for flavors, tallies, and frequencies. Various methods for tallying data are discussed, and the final frequency counts for each flavor are presented. The video concludes with a summary of the process and the benefits of using frequency tables for data analysis.
