Frequency (statistics)

Frequency in statistics is basically just a way of counting how many times something happens. Imagine you have a jar of marbles with different colors like red, blue, and green. You pour out all the marbles and count how many of each color you have. The number of marbles of each color is their "frequency".

For example, if you have 5 red marbles, 3 blue marbles, and 2 green marbles, then the frequency of red is 5, blue is 3, and green is 2.

This concept of frequency is used a lot in statistics to describe data sets. It helps to figure out which values are more common and which are less. Frequency can be shown in different ways, like a table or a graph, to make it easier to understand.
