32 28 27 21

1. Find the range.


2. What is the number of classes?
3. Make the class width 4 and the lower limit of the first class 10. From the data
set, prepare:
a. an frequency distribution.
b. a relative frequency distribution.
c. a cumulative frequency distribution.
4. Construct a histogram.
5. Construct a cumulative frequency polygon.
6. What percentage of trips was bigger and equal to 26 and less than 30 km?
7. What percentage of trips were less than 22 km?
8. What percentage of trips was more and equal to 18 km?
9. How many trips were bigger and equal to 14 and less than 22 km?
10. How many trips were more and equal to 26 km?

Question 2.

The time in minutes that 12 patients waited for a doctor before receiving treatments
were as follows:

11 16 10 30 14 25 16 18 22 23 15 16

Calculate
i) the range
ii) the arithmetic mean
iii) geometric mean
iv) the median
v) the mode
vi) Shape of the distribution is: negative- or positive skewed. The
standard deviation
vii) Coefficient of variation
Question 3.

The frequency table below shows the percentages obtained in a STSA 1624 tutorial
test for a random sample of 60 students:
Interval fi xi Fi
[30 – 40) 5 b1 c1
[40 – 50) 12 b2 c2
[50 – 60) 18 b3 c3
[60 – 70) 15 b4 c4
[70 – a1) 7 b5 c5
[a1 – 90) 2 b6 c6
[90 – 100) 1 b7 c7

For the percentages obtained, calculate:


1. The range
2. The arithmetic mean
3. The median
4. The mode
5. Shape of the distribution is: negative- or positive skewed.
6. The variance
