A frequency table is a way to organize data into categories or groups. By including a cumulative frequency column in your table, you can keep a running total of the frequencies in each category.

Additional Example 1: Organizing and Interpreting Data in a Frequency Table The list shows the average high temperatures for 20 cities on one February day. Make a cumulative frequency table of the data. How many cities had average high temperature below 59 degrees? 69, 66, 65, 51, 50, 50, 44, 41, 38, 32, 32, 28, 20, 18, 12, 8, 8, 4, 2, 2 February Temperatures in 20 Cities Average Highs Frequency Cumulative Frequency Step 1: Choose a scale that includes all of the data values. Then separate the scale into equal intervals. 0–19 20–39 40–59 60–79

Additional Example 1 Continued The list shows the average high temperatures for 20 cities on one February day. Make a cumulative frequency table of the data. How many cities had average high temperature below 59 degrees? 69, 66, 65, 51, 50, 50, 44, 41, 38, 32, 32, 28, 20, 18, 12, 8, 8, 4, 2, 2 February Temperatures in 20 Cities Average Highs Frequency Cumulative Frequency Step 2: Find the number of data values in each interval. Write these numbers in the “Frequency” column. 0–19 7 20–39 5 40–59 5 60–79 3

A stem-and-leaf plot can be used to show how often data values occur and how they are distributed. Each leaf on the plot represents the right-hand digit in a data value, and each stem represents left-hand digits. 2 4 7 9 3 0 6 Stems Leaves Key: 2|7 means 27

Additional Example 2: Organizing and Interpreting Data in a Stem-and-Leaf Plot The data shows the number of years coached by the top 15 coaches in the all-time NFL coaching victories. Make a stem-and-leaf plot of the data. Then find the number of coaches who coached fewer than 25 years. 33, 40, 29, 33, 23, 22, 20, 21, 18, 23, 17, 15, 15, 12, 17 Step 1: Order the data from least to greatest. Since the data values range from 12 to 40, use tens digits for the stems and ones digits for the leaves.
