Ungrouped data describe which type?

• A. Discrete data, where the frequency is shown in terms of a specific measure / value
• B. Data summarized in groups and class intervals
• C. Data with no frequency information
• D. Data organized into percentages

Answer: (A)

Ungrouped data are raw observations not organized into intervals or groups. They describe discrete data because you record how many times each exact value occurs, rather than summarizing values into class intervals. For example, listing daily sales as exact numbers (3, 4, 5, 3, 4, etc.) and noting the frequency of each exact value shows the data in its ungrouped form. In contrast, data described as grouped would be arranged into ranges (like 0–2, 3–4, 5–6) with frequencies for each range. Data with no frequency information lacks distribution detail, and percentages are just a way of presenting the same data. So ungrouped data align with discrete data where frequency is attached to specific values.
