Question

how can you use a frequency table to organize wait time in a doctors office for patients with different types of injuries?

Answer 1

We have different types of injuries say m in number and grouped data of wait times in a doctors office say n in number. Grouped data could be in the form of: 0-2,2-4,4-6, 6-8, 8-10 such that it covers the entire range of the data.

We could organise the data in a frequency table like a contingency table of m x n cells. The rows are the groups of wait times and columns depict the injuries. Example:

Wait times/Injury type	Injury type 1	Injury type 2	Injury type 3
0-2	F1	F2
2-4
4-6
