Organizing DataOnce it is collected, data can be organized in a table.
The number of days each student in a class of 25 was recorded as follows:0, 3, 1, 0, 4, 2, 1, 3, 5, 0, 2,
0, 0, 0, 4, 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 0, 7, 3, 1, 0This data would be easier to analyze if it was in a table.

Sometimes data is grouped into specific intervals.
Test scores for a class of 32 were recorded as follows:90, 85, 74, 86, 65, 62, 100,
95, 77, 82, 50, 83, 77, 93, 73, 72, 98, 66, 45, 100, 50, 89, 78, 70, 75, 95, 80, 78, 83, 81, 72, 75

HistogramsA Histogram is a vertical bar graph in which each interval is represented by the width of the bar and the frequency is represented by the height of the bar.
