Question 1

Duration (Minutes) Frequency Midpoint f.m

30.00 < 40.00 3 35 105
40.00 < 50.00 7 45 315
50.00 < 60.00 18 55 990
60.00 < 70.00 13 65 845
70.00 < 80.00 8 75 600
80.00 < 90.00 1 85 85

Total 50 360 2940

i) First we will calculate the midpoint

m= upper + lower limit

2 m= 50.00 + 60.00/2
= 30.00 + 40.00 = 110/2 = 55
2
= 70/2 = 35

m= 40.00 + 50.00/2 m= 60.00 + 70.00/2

= 90/2 = 45 =130/2 = 65

m= 70.00 + 80.00/2 m= 80.00 + 90.00/2

= 150/2 = 75 = 170/2 = 85

Then we calculate frequency x midpoint to get f.m

3x35= 105
7x45=315
18x55=990
13x65=845
8x75=600
1x85=85

Mean = ∑( f.m)
∑f
= 2940/50
= 58.8

ii) Mode = L+ (f-fl) x h = 40

(2f-fl-fh)

= 50 + (18-7)/ (2x18 -7-13) x 10

=50 + (11/16) x 10
= 50 +6.875
Mode= 56.875

iii)

80.00 < 90.00 1 85 85 58.8 3 3 9

Total 50 360 2940 19 73

Standard Deviation = s= √∑f2) -∑(fd)2

∑f n

= √73/50- (19/50)2 (all squared)

= √1.46-0.1444
Standard Deviation = 1.147
