A practical illustration of a frequency table involves a hypothetical distribution of scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale for a sample of $40$ college students. In this table, the first column lists the individual self-esteem scores descending from $24$ down to $15$. The second column indicates the frequency of each score, revealing that $3$ students scored $24$, $5$ students scored $23$, and $10$ students scored $22$. By organizing the data this way, it becomes immediately apparent that the scores range from $15$ to $24$, the most common score is $22$, and the least common score is $17$, which has a frequency of $0$.
