Frequency distribution and the General Social Survey (2012) : visits to libraries and museums / Luke Sloan & Rob Angell.

• This work describes a frequency distribution, also referred to as a 'frequency'. This technique is used with a single categorical variable. A frequency distribution reports the number and percentage of observations populating each category or value. In this example you will be introduced to the technique using a subset of the 2012 General Social Survey (GSS). At a time when public visits to museums and libraries are in decline, the example establishes 'how frequently' people visit these attractions. This is important for better understanding how to fund and market this type of public service.
