This document discusses preparing frequency distribution tables from discrete data series. It provides examples of making tally marks and frequency counts from data on number of children per family and word counts in a passage. As we have discussed and learned today, preparing frequency distribution tables involves organizing discrete data into class intervals and counting the frequency of observations within each interval. This allows discrete data to be organized and summarized in a tabular format.

Meaning-- Discrete Series Problems -- 01

3. LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• The aim of the chapter is to make students to
present data in textual and Tabular format including
the technique of creating frequency distribution
and working out bi-variate distribution table

4. LEARNING OUTCOMES
• After the Chapter, The Students Shall be able to
Describe and Understand the Rules & Types of
Classification, Frequency Distribution, Class Interval
& its Types, Basic Principles Tabulation and The
Sorting of Data.

6. Discrete Series Problems
• 1. In a survey of 35 families in a village, the number of
children per family was recorded and the following
data was obtained :
1 0 2 3 4 5 6

• 2. Count the number of letters in each word of the para
given below (ignoring comma, full-stop, etc.) and
prepare a discrete frequency distribution.
“TODAY, TO A VERY STRIKING DEGREE, OUR CULTURE HAS
BECOME A STATISTICAL CULTURE. EVEN A PERSON WHO
MAY NEVER HAVE HEARD OF AN INDEX NUMBER, IS
ATTACHED IN AN INTIMATE FASHION BY THE GYRATIONS
OF THOSE INDEX NUMBERS WHICH DESCRIBE THE COST
OF LIVING.’’
