Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi.
We will update this message again shortly.

The variation in the values of a variable obtained from the results of carrying out trials of a situation that involves elements of chance, a probability activity, or a statistical experiment.
For whole-number data, an experimental distribution is often displayed, in a table, as a set of values and their corresponding frequencies, or on an appropriate graph.
For measurement data, an experimental distribution is often displayed, in a table, as a set of intervals of values (class intervals) and their corresponding frequencies, or on an appropriate graph.
For category data, an experimental distribution is often displayed, in a table, as a set of categories and their corresponding frequencies, or on an appropriate graph.
