Toshi wants to create an orderly arrangement of scores that would indicate the frequency of each score. Therefore, the best choice is a frequency distribution, as it organizes the data into categories and displays the number (or frequency) of observations in each category. A scatterplot is used to show the relationship between two variables, a histogram is used to display the frequency distribution of a continuous variable, and a frequency polygon is a line graph that displays the frequency distribution of a continuous variable.
