Question

a school district performed a study to find the main causes leading to students dropping out of school. thirty cases were analyzed, and a primary cause was assigned to each case. the causes included unexcused absences (u), illness (i), family problems (f), and other causes (o). the results for the thirty cases are listed below:
u u u i f o o u i f
f o u i i f i i o u
i f f u u i i o f u
construct a table summarizing the frequency distribution of the primary causes leading to student dropout
(1 point)

Explanation:

Step1: Count the frequency of each cause

We go through the list of causes:

• For \(U\) (unexcused absences):

Count the number of \(U\)s in the data set. There are 9 \(U\)s.

• For \(I\) (illness):

Count the number of \(I\)s. There are 9 \(I\)s.

• For \(F\) (family problems):

Count the number of \(F\)s. There are 7 \(F\)s.

• For \(O\) (other causes):

Count the number of \(O\)s. There are 5 \(O\)s.

Answer:

Cause	Frequency
\(I\)	9
\(F\)	7
\(O\)	5
