Chapter 2 Summarizing Data

1A) Make an array and calculate a range for this data. Data Do your calculations in
38 columns D40 and C43-C47.
1B) Using this data, make a 5 class Frequency Distribution, Histogram, 48 Range
and Cumulative Relative Frequency Distribution with the first class 27
having class limits of 5 - 14 and the remaining classes of equal width. 14 bins

answers differ from those in Statistics (ISBN 0963277251) from
The Quick Notes Learning System because of different assumptions
of the location of numbers along a number line.

As you know, the case study approach employed by business schools has been our
methodology. The case has been adapted from the Practice Sets of The Quick Notes
Learning System (TM) for Statistics, ISBN 0963277251. The case involves Darin Jones,
a recent college graduate who just opened Darin's Music Emporium. The academic outlines
contained in this book also follow the case approach. This case involves Linda Smith
mentioned in problem 1. She also has just graduated from college and will use statistics
to help manage Linda's Video Showcase.

of math courses taken and success in statistics are independent.
Complete the second chart and
do your .01 calculations in B149.
