Expert Solution
Frequency distribution :

Frequency distribution is representing the data in a table format. And this table, shows that how frequently (or) repeatedly the values fall in a specified class interval

Bar chart is used to compare the counts (or) frequency of data set in each class. While, the Pie chart  is used to compare the proportion or percentages of data in each class.
