Collect the data set
Identify the values or categories to analyze
Count how many times each value or category appears
Create a frequency table
Calculate relative frequency by dividing each frequency by the total number of observations
Calculate cumulative frequency by adding frequencies in order
Organize the results in ascending or logical order
Check the totals to ensure all observations are included
Use a chart or graph if needed to display the frequencies
Compare the frequencies to find the most and least common values
