Occupancy frequency distribution

An occupancy frequency distribution shows how many times something (like a room or a seat) is being used over a certain period of time. Think of it like counting how often and when your favorite toy is being played with.

Imagine you have a special toy - a teddy bear. Some days you play with it for a really long time, while other days you hardly touch it. If we wanted to see how often you played with your teddy bear, we could count how often it was used over a week or a month.

An occupancy frequency distribution does the same thing but with things like hotel rooms or seats in a movie theater. It can show us how often a room or a seat is being used over a certain time period, so we can see whether it's being used a lot or not very much.

It's like taking a picture of a room or a seat every hour for a whole day and counting how many pictures have someone in it. If most of the pictures have someone in the room or seat, we can say that the occupancy is high. If few of the pictures have someone in the room or seat, we can say that the occupancy is low.

Overall, the occupancy frequency distribution helps us understand how often and when things (like rooms or seats) are being used so we can make better decisions about how to use them in the future.
