A bar graph of shark attacks across various regions. The vertical axis is labeled "Count" and numbered in increments of 50 up to 200 and the horizontal is labeled "Region." The bar for Florida reaches the top of the chart. The bar for Hawaii goes to the line at 50. The bar for South Carolina goes approximately two thirds of the way to the line at 50. The bar for California goes approximately two thirds of the way to the line at 50. The bar for North Carolina goes approximately halfway to the line at 50. The bar for Australia goes to approximately halfway between the line at 100 and the line at 150. The bar for South Africa goes almost to the line at 50. The bar for Reunion Island goes approximately one third of the way to the line at 50. The bar for Brazil goes approximately one third of the way to the line at 50. The bar for the Bahamas goes approximately one fifth of the way to the line at 50. The bar for other regions goes to approximately three quarters of the way between the line at 100 and the line at 150.A pie chart of International Shark Attacks showing 56.2% in the United States, 18.1% in Australia, and 25.7% in other countriesA pie chart of shark attacks in the United States showing 52.5% in Florida and 47.5% in all other states

Underneath a heading reading "Options," there is a checklist with the items "Show Percent," "Show Counts/Percent in Bars," "Pareto Chart," "Horizontal Bars," and "Customize Order." "Customize Order" is checked. Underneath the checklist, it reads "Choose Order of Categories." Beneath that is a text entry box reading "1, 2, 3, 4, 5." A bar graph showing how much young adults enjoy music. The vertical axis is labeled "Count" and extends up to 60 by increments of 10 and the horizontal axis is labeled music rating. The "1" rating is approximately at 1. The "2" rating is approximately at 20. The "3" rating is at approximately 7. The "4" rating is at approximately 14. The "5" rating is at approximately 65.

Glossary

frequency
the number of times an event or a value occurs. It is commonly referred to as the count.
frequency table
a table that lists the number of observations (the frequency or count) of each unique value of a categorical variable.
relative frequency
the proportion of observations that are in a particular category and can be expressed as a decimal or a percentage.
bar graph
a graph in which the categories are represented by bars that are separated from each other.
pie chart
a chart in which categories are represented by wedges in a circle and are proportional in size to the percentage of individuals/items in each category.
categorical variable
a variable that places an individual into one of several groups.
quantitative variable
a variable that takes numerical values that can be used in arithmetic.
dataset
a collection of data.
