What Are Frequency Tables? Statistics in mathematics are frequently used in day to day lives. From small-scale companies to multi-national firms, every business in this world makes use of the statistical concepts. One basic concept in this branch is the frequency table. What are frequency tables? Well, before we get into this business, we need to understand what frequencies are, and then we can move to frequency tables. Frequency is the number of times an event or a digit repeats in the unit of time. So, when talking about frequency tables, we can say that it is a table that enlists or shows the events, items along with the number of times the items occur, the frequency. We represent the frequency by the English alphabet 'f.'

Frequency is a way of tally how often the same data point appears in a data set. A frequency table is a visual that displays relative frequencies of the data points. To construct a frequency table we just list all of the data that appears in the set in ascending order vertically. We then mark a tally for every time the data appears in the set. We then record then count up all the tallies and record it as a whole number to the right of the tallies. These worksheets explain how to use frequency tables to tally the frequency of numbers in a set of data and to record frequency. Sample problems are solved and practice problems are provided. They also work on how to sort data into groups in order to create simple frequency tables.
