A frequency table can represent both **categorical** and **numerical** data, but it is most commonly associated with categorical data.
- **Categorical data** refers to data that can be divided into different categories (e.g., types of fruits, colors, etc.). In this case, the frequency table shows how many observations fall into each category.
- **Numerical data** can also be represented in a frequency table, particularly when the data is grouped into ranges or intervals (e.g., age ranges).
**Nominal** and **ordinal** are specific types of categorical data, with nominal data being unordered categories (like colors), and ordinal data having a meaningful order (like rankings).
Therefore, the most accurate answer is **categorical**, but numerical can also be represented under certain conditions.
