Question
A teacher administered an examination 34 students in her class and the scores were
distributed as follows:
22, 18, 32, 16,20,26,28, 19, 31, 22, 25, 34, 26, 23, 30, 22, 33, 27, 14, 24, 21, 20, 16, 23, 25,
31, 27, 26, 25, 19, 28, 23, 24, 21.

Required:
a) Prepare a frequency distribution (10marks)
b) Grouped frequency distribution (10marks)
c) Histogram (10marks)
d) An ogive curve (10marks)

a) Ungrouped frequency distribution of the Scores:

32 - 34 31.5 – 34.5 33 /// 3 34 100%
29 - 31 28.5 – 31.5 30 /// 3 31 91%
26 - 28 25.5 – 28.5 27 //// // 7 28 82%
23 - 25 22.5 – 25.5 24 //// /// 8 21 62%
20 - 22 19.5 – 22.5 21 //// / 7 13 38%
17 - 19 16.5 – 19.5 18 /// 3 6 18%
14 - 16 13.5 – 16.5 15 /// 3 3 9%
