1. Define the following terms: 
(i) Observations 
(ii) Data 
(iii) Frequency of an observation 
(iv) Frequency distribution 
 
Solution: 
(i) Observation is the activity of paying close attention to someone or something in 
order to get information in numerical form. 
 
(ii) Data: The collection of observations is known as data. 
 
(iii) Frequency of an observation: The number of times an observation occurs in a given 
data is called the frequency of an observation. 
 
(iv) Frequency distribution: It is a method of presenting raw data in a form that can be 
easily understood.
