PRACTICE SET 4
DATA MANAGEMENT

A. Analyze and interpret the following data set.

1. Twenty-five army inductees were given a blood test to determine their blood type. The data
set is

A B AB AB O
O O B AB B
B AB O A O
A O O O AB
AB A O B A

Construct a frequency distribution for the data.

% = f/n·100%

CLASS FREQUENCY (f) RELATIVE FREQUENCY (%)

A 5 5/25 · 100% = 20%
B 7 7/25 · 100% = 28%
O 9 9/25 · 100% = 36%
AB 4 4/25 · 100% = 16%

25 100

More people have type O blood than any other type of blood.

2. To study the library habits of students at a local college, thirty randomly selected students
were surveyed to determine the number of times they had been to the library during the
last week. The following results were obtained:
1521142154
5251234112
3541224512
Organize the data by creating the frequency distribution and construct a pie chart to
represent the data.

B. Solve the following problems.

5. A professor grades students on 5 tests, a project, and a final examination. Each test counts as
10% of the course grade. The project counts as 20% of the course grade. The final examination
counts as 30% of the course grade. Vanessa has test scores of 70, 65, 82, 94, and 85. Vanessa’s
project score is 92. Her final examination score is 80. Use the weighted mean formula to find
Vanessa’s average for the course.

The sum of all weights is 100% = 1.

scores of a test = 65, 70, 82, 85, 94
project score = 92
final examination score = 80
∑𝑛
𝑖=1 𝑊𝑖 𝑋𝑖
𝑥 𝑤 = ∑𝑛
𝑖=1 𝑊𝑖

65·10% + 70·10% + 82·10% + 85·10% + 94·10% + 92·20% + 80·30%

= 1

 = 6.5 + 7 + 8.2 + 8.5 + 9.4 + 18.4 + 24
= 82
Therefore, Vanessa’s average for the course is 82.

D. Solve the following problems.

2. On a reading test, Amelia’s score of 455 was higher than the scores of 4256 of the 7210
students who took the test. Find the percentile, rounded to the nearest percent, for Amelia’s
score.

x = 455
value below x = 4256
number of values = 7210

𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑜𝑤 𝑥 + 0.5

𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑙𝑒 = · 100
𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠

4256 +0.5
= · 100
7210

4256.5
= · 100
7210

= 0.590360610264 · 100
= 59.0360610264

= 59%

Therefore, the percentile, rounded to the nearest percent, for Amelia’s score is 59%.
