Frequency distribution
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-004668
A statistical representation that shows the number of observations that fall into each of several specified ranges or categories. It organizes raw data into a more understandable format, often presented as a table or a histogram. This distribution provides insights into the pattern and spread of a dataset, such as the concentrations of a pollutant in environmental samples.
