Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the psychologist created a frequency distribution, the vertical axis should display the frequency or number of times each possible score (ranging from 0 to 63) occurred in the sample of 1,000 incoming freshmen students. This will give a visual representation of the distribution of depression levels in the population.
