2. Describing Data with Tables and Graphs

In Exercises 25 and 26, construct the cumulative frequency distribution that corresponds to the frequency distribution in the exercise indicated.

Exercise 5 (Age of Best Actress When Oscar Was Won)

Births Natural births randomly selected from four hospitals in New York State occurred on the days of the week (in the order of Monday through Sunday) with these frequencies: 52, 66, 72, 57, 57, 43, 53. Does it appear that such births occur on the days of the week with equal frequency?

Tornado Alley Refer to the accompanying frequency distribution that summarizes the number of tornadoes in Oklahoma in each year for the past several years. What is the class width? Is it possible to identify the original data values?

Tornado Alley Using the same frequency distribution from Exercise 1, identify the class limits of the first class and the class boundaries of the first class.

Tornado Alley Construct the relative frequency distribution corresponding to the frequency distribution in Exercise 1

In Exercises 1–5, use the data listed in the margin, which are magnitudes (Richter scale) and depths (km) of earthquakes from Data Set 24 “Earthquakes” in Appendix B

Frequency Distribution Construct a frequency distribution of the magnitudes. Use a class width of 0.50 and use a starting value of 1.00.

In Exercises 1–5, use the data listed in the margin, which are magnitudes (Richter scale) and depths (km) of earthquakes from Data Set 24 “Earthquakes” in Appendix B

Frequency Distribution For the frequency distribution from Exercise 1, find the following.

a. Class limits of the first class

b. Class boundaries of the first class

c. Class midpoint of the first class

Hershey Kisses Refer to Data Set 38 “Candies” and use the weights (grams) of Hershey’s Kisses. Begin with a lower class limit of 4.300 g and use a class width of 0.100 g. Does this distribution appear to be a normal distribution?

Testing Goodness-of-Fit with a Normal Distribution Refer to Data Set 1 “Body Data” in Appendix B for the heights of females.

a. Enter the observed frequencies in the table above.

What is the difference between class limits and class boundaries?

use the given information about the data set and the number of classes to find the class width, the lower class limits, and the upper class limits.

min=17, range=118, 8 classes

use the frequency distribution to find the (a) class width, (b) class midpoints, and (c) class boundaries.
