Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A frequency distribution is a table that shows the number of observations in each of several nonoverlapping groups. This table is commonly used to summarize categorical or numerical data. Scatter plots are used to display the relationship between two continuous variables, while histograms are used to display the distribution of a single continuous variable. A chart is a general term that can refer to any visual representation of data, and does not necessarily imply that the data is grouped into categories.
