Question:

The following table shows the distribution of test scores for 25 students.

8 10 11 9 12
6 9 11 8 12
12 11 5 14 12
13 14 11 10 12
9 13 15 13 10

Based on the distribution of test scores,

a) Construct a score frequency distribution table

SCORE TALLY FREQUENCY

5 //// 1
6 //// / 1
8 //// /// 2
9 //// //// 3
10 //// //// 3
11 //// //// / 4
12 //// //// // 5
13 //// //// /// 3
14 //// //// //// 2
15 //// //// //// 1

b) Build a score frequency table based on class intervals that have a size of 3
starting with class intervals 0-2.

CLASS INTERVAL MID POINT FREQUENCY

0-2 1 0
3-5 4 1
6-8 7 3
9-11 10 10
12-14 13 10
15-17 16 1

c) Draw a histogram of the accumulated marks in (b).

d) Build a pile frequency percentage table.

Upper Class Acumulative Acumulative

boundary Interval Frequency Frequency Percentage Percentage
2.5 0-2 0 0 0 0
5.5 3-5 1 1 4 4
8.5 6-8 3 4 12 16
11.5 9-11 10 14 40 56
14.5 12-14 10 24 40 96
17.5 15-17 1 25 4 100

e) Draw an ogive for the percentage of pile frequency.

f) Based on the drawn ogive, answer the following questions:

i) If the passing score is 14, how many students passed?

96% fails = 4% passed

4/100 x 25
=1

ii) If 60% of students pass, what is the passing score?

= 11.5
