Exercise 1.

Do the following problems during our asynchronous session. Final output is to be submitted on
MARCH 8 during our scheduled class.
1.) A team of researchers observed the behavior of 20 children during break time on a
playground. The observers recorded how many times each child performed a violent act
against another child (be it a push, a kick or a punch). The scores of the 20 children are as
follows:
2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 4, 0, 8, 2, 1, 3, 0, 0, 2, 1, 4, 0, 0, 2, 6
a) Construct a frequency distribution table for this raw data.
b) Graph the data using the most appropriate method.
c) Interpret or discuss your graph.

2.) The burglary rates for two cities over a 6-yr period are presented in the following table:
Year City A City B
2011 2, 576 880
2012 2, 620 955
2013 2, 850 1,011
2014 3,040 1,325
2015 2, 906 1, 954
2016 2, 652 2, 333
a) Present this information graphically such that it is most informative.
b) Interpret your graph.
c) Explain why you selected this type of graph.

3.) Randomly select 8 students in your college. Select one of the following questions and ask
it to your sample eight students:
 How are you feeling today?
=Good, Just fine, Not feeling well
 How many siblings do you have?
 Do you like math?
=I love math, I like math, I dislike math
 Where do you live?
= categorize answers by hometown: Cabagan, San Pablo, etc

a) What is the level of measurement of the variable you considered?

b) Organize your data graphically and discuss it.
Note: You need NOT to write the name of your classmates you surveyed, just ask and
write their student number and answers to the question you selected.
