Summarizing data involves simplifying collected information into smaller, understandable parts. This can involve using measures such as averages, percentages, or graphs.
Summarizing data is like creating a movie trailer. You're taking the most important parts of a larger piece (the full-length film or your raw data) and condensing it into an easily digestible format that still tells the overall story.
Frequency Distribution: A summary of how often different scores occur within a sample of scores.
Histogram: A graphical representation that organizes a group of data points into specified ranges.
