1. Let's say that we interview 20 people and ask them: "Are you young, middle-aged, or elderly?" Here are their responses.
 
 

Young Young Middle-aged Elderly
Elderly Elderly Middle-aged Young
Young Elderly Elderly Young
Elderly Elderly Young Middle-aged
Young Young Young Middle-aged

Create a frequency distribution from their responses.
 
 

 

 

 

 

2. Create a percentage distribution from their responses.
 

 

 

 

 

 

3. In another study, we ask 20 people how much they agree or disagree with the following statement: "Gay people should be allowed to serve in the U.S. military." We create the following frequency distribution from their responses. This variable is named GAYOK.
 
 

Response Catagory N
