Expert Solution
Step 1

Frequency measures the number of times something occurs in a specific amount of time. The frequency of an observation tells you the number of times the observation occurs in the data.  

So, first make frequency distribution table . Frequency distribution tables give you a computation of the data to allow you to find patterns. 

To make the frequency distribution table, first write the categories in one column , Next, tally the numbers in each category and write the frequency . 

Number  Frequency (f)
1 1
2 3
3 2
4 1
5 2
6 3
 

∑ f = 12
