Question 1:
Construct a stem-and-leaf display for the grades in Statistics of the students in a college.

96 93 88 117 127 95 113 96 108 139 142

94 107 125 155 155 103 112 112 135 132 111

125 104 106 139 134 118 136 125 143 120 103

113 124 138 94 127 119 148 117 97 156 120

Solution:
 Stem Leaves

(Leading Digit) (Trailing Digit)

8 8

9 6 3 5 6 4 4 7

10 8 7 3 4 6 3

11 7 3 2 2 1 8 3 9 7

12 7 5 5 5 0 4 7 0

13 9 5 2 9 4 6 8

14 2 3 8

15 5 5 6

Question 2:
The following table is constructed from the weights (recorded to the nearest pound) of 40 male
students of a college. Calculate the mean and median of the distribution.

Weight (pounds) Frequency

118-126 3
127-135 5
136-144 9
145-153 12
154-162 5
163-171 4
172-180 2
Solution:

Weight (pounds) Frequency Mid Point fX

(X)
118-126 3 122 366
 127-135 5 131 655
136-144 9 140 1260
145-153 12 149 1788
154-162 5 158 790
163-171 4 167 668
172-180 2 176 352

Now, we will find median:

Weight (pounds) Class Boundaries Frequency Comulative

(f) boundaries(f.x )

118-126 117.5-126.5 3 3
127-135 126.5-135.5 5 8
136-144 135.5-144.5 9 17
145-153 144.5-153.5 12 29
154-162 153.5-162.5 5 34
163-171 162.5-171.5 4 38
171-180 170.5-180.5 2 40
l = lower class

h = class interval size of the median class

f = frequency

n= total number of observation (∑ 𝑓)

c= cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class
