This lesson covers frequency trees — a method for organising and displaying data involving two characteristics or events. Frequency trees are part of the AQA GCSE Mathematics specification and are a common exam topic at both Foundation and Higher tier.
A frequency tree is a diagram that splits a group of items (usually people) into categories based on two characteristics. Unlike a probability tree (which shows probabilities on branches), a frequency tree shows actual counts (frequencies).

At each stage, the numbers on the branches must add up to the number at the node they came from.
A school surveys 120 Year 11 students about whether they walk to school.
Draw a frequency tree and find the number of students who do not walk to school.
