Assignment # 3

Question 1:

The KSW computer science aptitude test was given to 50 students. The frequency distribution that is
given in the table resulted from their scores.

KSW test Score Frequency

0-4 4
4-8 8
8-12 8
12-16 20
16-20 6
20-24 3
24-28 1

a) What are the class boundaries for the class of largest frequency?
b) Give all classes midpoints associated with this frequency distribution.
c) What is the class width?
d) Give the relative frequencies for the classes.
e) Draw a relative frequency histogram of the test scores.

Question 2:

Given the information as:

Age 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90

Frequency 34 58 76 187 254 241 147

a) Draw and completely label a frequency histogram.

b) Draw and completely label a relative frequency histogram of the same distribution.
c) Carefully examine the two histograms, (a) and (b) and explain why one of them might be easier
to understand.

Question3:

The speeds of 55 cars were measured by a radar device on a city street.
