1. The following are the number of customers a restaurant

served for lunch on 60 weekdays:

50 64 55 51 60 41 71 53 63 64
49 59 66 45 61 57 65 62 58 65
55 61 60 55 53 57 58 66 53 56
64 46 59 49 64 60 58 64 42 47
59 62 56 63 61 68 57 51 61 51
60 59 67 52 52 58 64 43 60 62

Construct the FDT of the given data set.

Find the Range, Class Mark, Relative frequency and
cumulative frequency.

2. A survey taken at a hotel in ITC indicated that 40 guests

preferred the following means of transportation:

car car bus plane train bus bus plane car plane plane
bus plane car car train train car car car car plane
plane car bus car bus car plane car plane plane car
car car bus train car bus car

Construct a categorical distribution showing the

frequencies corresponding to the different means of
transportation. Interpret the results.

3. The following are the body weights (in grams) of 50 rats

used in a study of vitamin deficiencies:

136 92 115 118 121 137 132 120 104 129

125 119 115 101 129 87 108 110 133 124
