The number of items rejected daily by a manufacturer because of defects was

recorded for the last 25 days. The results are as follows:
21 8 17 22 19
18 19 14 17 11
6 21 25 19 9
12 16 16 10 29
24 6 21 20 25
For the above data construct:
a) A frequency distribution table.
b) The percentage frequency distribution.
c) The cumulative “less than” percentage distribution.
d) The cumulative “more than” percentage distribution.
e) The histogram.
f) The frequency polygon.
g) The frequency curve.
h) The less than Ogive (cumulative frequency polygon).
i) The more than Ogive (cumulative frequency polygon).
j) The less than smooth Ogive.
2. Three objects are to be randomly selected from five objects labeled H, I, J, K, and L.
a) How many ordered samples can be obtained?
b) How many unordered samples can be obtained?
c) List ten different samples in a) , and the different samples in b) above.
3. Consider the following sample data representing the salary of 30 employee in a
small firm.
306 265 230 278 334
275 210 215 274 270
223 280 289 250 229
315 340 384 300 267
258 276 208 276 254
a) Using the above raw data, calculate main statistical measures (mean, median,
mode, standard deviation).
b) Using grouped data for the above measurements, calculate main statistical
measures (mean, median, mode, standard deviation).
c) Compare between the calculated values in (a), and (b). Comment.
d) Draw the histogram for grouped data, and detect the shape of the distribution?

central mean for the six months.
5- The following table gives the frequency distribution of the compression test of
30 specimens of concrete cubes that were taken randomly from 3 different
concrete mixtures A, B and C at a construction site. For each of the 3 mixtures
A, B and C:

b) Determine the values of x , s, coefficient of variation, and the variance.
c) Which concrete mixture is the best.
