LECTURE 2Discrete Quantitative DataA simple frequency distribution, frequency bar char can be used to organize the discretequantitative variable.Example 1: Suppose that we are interest in the

number of children that a Saudi Women has andwe take a sample of 16 women and obtain the following data on the number of children:

3 5 2 4 0 1 3 5 2 3 2 3 3 2 4 1

a) Prepare a simple frequency distribution for this datab) Construct a frequency bar charSolution: the population: All Saudi women, sample size: 16 women, variable: number ofchildren that a Saudi woman has, Type of variable: discrete quantitative.

(a)Frequency distribution
