    Chapter 2 Organizing and Graphing Data

    Question 1 to 3
    Consider the following frequency distribution:
    Class Interval Frequency
    10 to less than 20 15
    20 to less than 30 25
    30 to less than 40 10

    1. What is the midpoint of the first class?


    a) 10 b) 20 c) 15 d) 30 e) 40

    2. What is the relative frequency of the first class?


    a) 0.15 b) 0.30 c) 0.10 d) 0.20 e) 0.40

    3. What is the cumulative frequency of the second class interval?


    a) 25 b) 40 c) 15 d) 50 e) 60

    4. Consider the following stem and leaf plot:

    Stem Leaf
    1 02 5 7
    2 23 4 8
    3 04 6 6 9
    4 58 8 9
    5 27 8

    Key: 5⃒ 2 means 52

    What was the lowest number in the data set?


    a) 0 b) 10 c) 7 d) 2 e) 1

    5. The following represent the ages of students in a class:

    19, 23, 21, 19, 19, 20, 22, 31, 21, 20

    If a stem and leaf plot were to be developed from this, how many stems would there be?
    a) 2 b) 3 c) 4 d) 5 e) 10

    6. A person has decided to construct a frequency distribution for a set of data containing 60
    numbers. The lowest number is 23 and the highest number is 67. If 5 classes are used,
    the class width should be approximately .
    a) 4 b) 12 c) 8 d) 5 e) 9

    Question 7

    Cumulative Relative
    IQ Frequency Midpoint Boundaries
    frequency frequency
    80-87 16
    88-95 37
    96-103 50
    104-111 29
    112-119 14

    a. Identify the class width, class marks (midpoint), and class boundaries.
    b. Construct the cumulative frequency table.
    c. Construct the relative frequency table.

    Question 8

    The results from a statistics exam are as follows:

    75 66 77 66 64 73 91 65 59 86
    61 86 61 58 70 77 80 58 94 78
    62 79 83 54 52 45 82 48 67 55

    a. Construct a stem-and-leaf display for these data.


    b. Construct a frequency distribution for these data, using six classes. (Use “40-49” for
    the first class, “50-59” for the second class, and so on).
    c. Construct a relative frequency histogram for these data.
    d. Briefly describe what a histogram and the stem-and-leaf display tell you about the
    data.
    e. Construct a cumulative relative frequency distribution for the marks.
    f. What proportion of the marks is less than 70? At least 70?

    Question 9

    The number of weekly sales calls by a sample of 25 salespeople for a dress manufacturer in
    Melbourne is shown below:

    24 56 43 35 37 27 29 44 34 28
    33 28 46 31 38 41 48 38 27 29
    37 33 31 40 50

    Manually draw each of the following graphs:


    a. A stem and leaf display.
    b. A frequency distribution with 5 classes. (Use “20-27” for the first class)
    c. A frequency polygon.
    d. An ogive.

    Question 10

    A large investment firm in Sydney wants to review the distribution of the ages of its
    stockbrokers. The firm feels that this information will be useful in developing plans relating
    to recruitment and retirement options. The ages of a sample of 24 brokers are as follows:

    50 64 32 55 41 44 24 46 58 47 36 52
    44 66 47 59 61 57 49 28 42 38 45 54

    a. Construct a stem and leaf display for the ages.


    b. Construct a frequency distribution for the data, using five class intervals and the
    value 20 as the lower limit of the first class. (Use “20 to less than 30” as the first
    class, “30 to less than 40” for the second class, and so on.)
    c. Construct a relative frequency histogram for the data, using five class intervals and
    the value 20 as the lower limit of the first class.
    d. Construct a frequency polygon.
    e. Construct an ogive for the data.
    f. What proportion of the total area under the histogram from part (c) falls between 20
    and 40?
