Abstract

One cannot interpret the data of a frequency distribution without first paying attention to the fact, that the ‘statistical-counting-units’ had to be sorted and grouped according to some of their qualitative, non-numeric or categorical, and regional characteristics to create the necessary framework. One should keep in mind, as was discussed in Chap. 2, that these quantitative, measurable characteristics, are only complementary to those more essential, qualitative characteristics,1 although in a few instances frequency distributions can become important in their own right.2
