Frequency is the number of times that an event occurs (in this case, obtaining a certain score) within a particular experiment (in this case, the exam).

\n

We are given enough data that keeping a mental count of the frequencies is difficult:

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
$\\var{data[0]}$$\\var{data[1]}$$\\var{data[2]}$$\\var{data[3]}$$\\var{data[4]}$$\\var{data[5]}$$\\var{data[6]}$$\\var{data[7]}$$\\var{data[8]}$$\\var{data[9]}$
$\\var{data[10]}$$\\var{data[11]}$$\\var{data[12]}$$\\var{data[13]}$$\\var{data[14]}$$\\var{data[15]}$$\\var{data[16]}$$\\var{data[17]}$$\\var{data[18]}$$\\var{data[19]}$
\n

Therefore, a better way to approach this problem would be to add an extra column to the frequency table, as illustrated below, to tally the number of students with each score. The number of tally marks for each score can then be read off and insterted into the frequency column.
