alex200106 - A frequency table is a way of showing the number of times a certain item occurred in your data collection. For example, say you observed 100 passing cars and recorded their color. A data table would consist of listing the color names you chose, and showing the total number of cars that had that color. Being a table, it is easy to understand the observed data. As an example, your information may have indicated that out of 100 cars, 21 were silver, 18 were black 6 were red, 8 were white... and so on. Here is a link to a webpage that will make it easy to understand.
