Transcription Notes:
Hello! I'm not sure if I transcribed the Frequency column correctly. Please let me know if I did it wrong and how the transciption should be fixed. Thanks! No, it isn't correct, but I will do that. Look at INSTRUCTIONS! Hi, I think the transcription looks good - REOPENED!! NO!! It is not done correctly. There are three columns. The right column is the total of each of the group of smaller numbers in the 2nd column. You will see the large numbers are for the totals of A., B., C., D., E. - and the smaller numbers are the numbers which add up to those larger numbers.
