PROBLEM 2-A
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION

A leading soft-drink company tries to maintain a specific volume of one of their leading
products. Suppose a random sample of the fills of one hundred 20-ounce bottles is collected and
sent to the laboratory. There the volume fills of the bottles are carefully measured, resulting in
the following Figures:

20.02 19.99 20.01 20.03 20.01 19.98 20.04 19.99 20.01 19.98
20.02 20 19.96 20.01 19.98 19.95 20.05 20.01 19.98 19.95
19.92 19.98 20.03 19.98 20.05 20.08 20.01 19.97 20.05 20.08
20.01 19.94 19.99 20.04 19.96 20.03 20.02 20 19.96 20.03
19.97 20.05 19.96 20.06 20.01 19.98 20.01 19.94 20.01 19.98
20.05 20.1 19.89 19.98 19.97 20.05 19.99 20.04 20.02 19.99
19.96 20.03 20.01 19.94 20 19.96 19.96 20.06 20.02 20
20.01 19.98 19.97 20.05 19.94 20.01 19.92 19.98 19.92 19.98
20.02 19.99 20.05 20.08 20.04 20.02 20.01 19.94 20.01 19.94

a. Compute for the range, number of classes and the class interval.

b. Construct the Frequency distribution table including the class marks, class boundaries,
and the cumulative frequency distribution. Draw a histogram of the frequency
distribution obtained in (b).
c. Use Excel in preparing the frequency distribution and histogram.

RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION

- The frequency distribution diagram and histogram show the volume of 20-ounce soft drink
bottles. The volume of every soft drink bottle is carefully measured but there some bottles that
has excess volumes.

QUESTIONS
1. What are the class boundaries and the class marks of this distribution?
2. Compute for the Mean, Median, Mode and standard deviation for the distribution. Describe
the distribution.

- The soft drink company tries to maintain a specific volume of one of their leading products.
It can make soft drink products efficiently because it has a low standard error value which is
0.012110601.
CONCLUSION
The histogram can determine the peak on the frequency. The soft drink company cannot
really maintain a specific volume of 20-ounce. In the histogram results, it shows that the 20.01-
20.03-ounce has the highest frequency. Meaning, the company can waste a lot of excess volume
if they will continue to fill every soft drink bottle with a wrong target volume.

PROBLEM 2-B
FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION

In a two-week study of the productivity of 100 workers, the following data were obtained
on the average number of acceptable pieces which they produced per hour:

3.8 6.9 4.5 3.0 5.8 8.1 8.6 5.1 3.8 6.7
8.4 2.4 6.4 5.7 7.4 7.0 4.2 3.9 8.0 4.5
6.7 7.5 5.9 4.1 4.8 5.9 5.8 6.2 5.2 9.0
4.7 5.8 7.7 4.2 5.3 7.2 7.6 7.8 5.0 6.1
3.6 7.6 5.5 6.6 8.2 3.4 6.5 5.4 6.4 3.7
5.3 3.7 4.6 4.7 5.6 5.3 5.7 5.0 6.2 7.8
7.0 8.7 6.2 7.9 6.3 3.5 4.7 6.2 5.5 2.3
4.9 5.4 7.0 5.4 7.1 4.4 6.9 3.6 5.5 4.7
5.6 4.3 6.1 5.5 5.2 7.5 6.3 5.7 6.7 6.4
7.2 4.0 5.2 4.9 3.7 2.8 6.0 8.4 7.6 4.3

a. Compute for the range, number of classes and the class interval.
b. Construct the Frequency distribution table including the class marks, class boundaries,
and the cumulative frequency distribution. Draw a histogram of the frequency
distribution obtained in (b) as well as the frequency polygon on the same axes.
c. Use Excel in preparing the frequency distribution and histogram.

RESULTS AND INTERPRETATION

- The frequency distribution diagram and histogram show the average rate of production of
acceptable pieces per hour. The production can be fast as around 2.3-3.1 average hours and can
be late around 8.6-9.4 average hours of accepted pieces.
QUESTIONS

1. What are the class boundaries and the class marks of this distribution?

2. Compute for the Mean, Median, Mode and standard deviation for the distribution. Describe
the distribution.
- The distribution describes the production rate of accepted pieces per hour. The accepted pieces
can be defined in the mean, the median is the standard rate of production, and the standard error
is the rejected pieces after production.

CONCLUSION

The histogram can determine the peak on the frequency of production rate in every class.
The workers can make a production of acceptable pieces but not as much as efficient. Most of
the production time of acceptable pieces is around 5.0-5.8 average hours which it cannot be
considered due to its high frequency.
