In this book we will use two formats for presenting data sets. The first is a data listAn explicit listing of all the individual measurements made on a sample., which is an explicit listing of all the individual measurements, either as a display with space between the individual measurements, or in set notation with individual measurements separated by commas.
The data obtained by measuring the age of 21 randomly selected students enrolled in freshman courses at a university could be presented as the data list
or in set notation as
A data set can also be presented by means of a data frequency tableA table listing each distinct value x and its frequency f., a table in which each distinct value x is listed in the first row and its frequencyHow often a value x appears in a data set. f, which is the number of times the value x appears in the data set, is listed below it in the second row.
The data set of the previous example is represented by the data frequency table
The data frequency table is especially convenient when data sets are large and the number of distinct values is not too large.
