Trust in Internet Information A survey was taken on how much trust people place in the
information they read on the Internet. Construct a categorical frequency distribution for the
data. A = trust in everything they read, M = trust in most of what they read, H = trust in about
one-half of what they read, S = trust in a small portion of what they read.
