ACTIVITY #4
Answer the following.
A. Find the mean, median and mode of the heights of the TB patients of Hospital Z.
Height in cm Frequency

160 – 169 12
150 – 159 20
140 – 149 28
130 – 139 15
120 – 129 5

*The mean height of 85 patients of Hospital Z is 148.5.

Median:

130-139 15 20
120-129 5 5
(N/2)th score = (85/2)th score = 42.5th score
The median class that contains the 42.5th score is 140-149.

Md = XLB + ( ) 𝑖 = 139.5 + ( ) 10 = 147.54

*The median height of 85 patients of Hospital Z is 147.54.

Mode:
Height in cm Frequency

160-169 12
150-159 20
140-149 28
130-139 15
120-129 5
The modal class is the class with the highest frequency, so the modal class is 140-
149.
XLB = 139.5 ; df1 = 28-15 = 13 ; df2 = 28-20 = 8 ; i=10

M0 = XLB + [(𝑑𝑓 +1𝑑𝑓 )] 𝑖 = 139.5 + [(13+8)]10 = 145.69

*The mode is 145.69.

B. Construct a frequency distribution for the following data. The scores of students in
a Geometry test.
55 63 44 37 50 57 44 57 42 46 58 40 54 65 39 27 28 56 38 45 30 35 56 78 55 27
50 28 44 28 39 37 65 43 33 70 60 61 60 44
1. Determine the value of k = 1+3 log n where n=40. Log 40 = 1.602059991
k = 1+3 (1.602059991) = 6. Therefore, 6 is the estimate number of scores in
these data.
2. r = highest value – lowest value
Highest value = 78 ; Lowest value = 27
r = 78-27 = 51
3. Class size = r/k
= 51/6 = 8.5 or 9
