Statistics and data science, defined

Frequency Distribution

A frequency distribution is a tabular summary of a set of data showing the frequency (or number) of items in each of several non-overlapping classes (or bins). This definition is applicable to both quantitative and categorical (qualitative) data. For quantitative data, the classes are typically contiguous and of equal width.
