Question

First, begin by telling the class how the coursebook defines/characterizes a "frequency distribution" and the three major types often used to gather the reader's attention.

Second, search through google for a pic one of the three major types of frequency distributions that displays data on anything related to crime or criminal justice and insert the pic into your post

Answer 1

A frequency distribution is a way of organizing data that shows how often each different value or range of values occurs in a dataset. The three major types of frequency distributions are:

1. Grouped frequency distribution - This type groups the data into categories or intervals, and then shows the frequency of values falling within each interval.
2. Ungrouped frequency distribution - This type lists each individual value in the dataset along with the number of times that value appears.
3. Cumulative frequency distribution - This type shows the total number of observations that fall below a certain value or within a certain interval.

For example, a frequency distribution of crime rates in a city may show the number of times each different crime rate occurs in a certain time period.

Here is an example of a grouped frequency distribution related to crime:
