3. Given the bar graph below, create a grouped frequency distribution and submit it to the Week 6, Assignment 2 dropbox.
From the bar chart we can read what the values in the data set were that was used to make the bar chart: 19(US), 17(France), 18(Japan), 21(Philippines), 21(Egypt), 16(Spain), 23(Thailand), 17(Hong Kong) and 16(Poland). A frequency distribution lists each value (or a range of values) and the number of times (frequency) that it occurred in the data set.
We could list each individual value in the data set together with the number of times each occurred like this:
Amount of Time Spent Watching Television (Hours per Week)
TV Time Frequency
16 2
17 2
18 1
19 1
20 0
21 2
22 0
23 1
Or the values may be presented grouped in intervals like this:
