Answer 1

Explanation:

Developing a frequency distribution of the ungrouped data simply means creating a structure (table) for the data. It is a method of converting an ungrouped data into a grouped data for proper analysis of the data.

The table will contain the values, their frequency (this means the number of times individual values occurs based on the classes) and the tally.

Check the attachment for the table.

Given the ungrouped data 2 5 10 12 4 4 5 17 11 8 9 8 12 21 6 8 7 13 18 3. The total number of data collected is 20. From the frequency distribution table, it can be seen that the total frequency is 20 which shows that all the values have been catered for.
