According to Histogram above has show that 90 percent of teenagers spent at

Cybercafe more than 1 hour. The graph show right skewed distribution. The
teenagers spent theirs times within 0 to 0.4 hours 2 person meanwhile between
1.0 to 1.4 are the most teenagers come which is 19 times. Times between 1.5 –
1.9, 15 teenagers followed by 2.0 – 2.4, 10 teenagers. Only one teenager spent
their times between 4.5 to 4.9 hours.

c) Percentage teenagers who spent at least 1.0 hour

= 63 teenagers
= 63 / 70 x 100
= 90%
Percentage teenagers who spent at most 2.1 hours
= (2.1 – 2.0)/0.5 x 100 + 2 + 5 + 19 + 15
=43 teenagers
= 61.42%
d) 2 teenagers are spent less than 30 minutes.

e) Calculate the following:

i) Mean :
µ = Σfx / Σf
µ = 137/70
µ = 1.96

ii)Mode:

Lb + C ΔB
-
ΔB - ΔA

Class Mode = 1.0 – 1.4

Lb = 0.95
C = 0.5
ΔB = 19 -5 = 14
ΔA = 19 – 15 = 4
so,
= 0.95 + 0.5 x (14/18)
= 1.34

iii) Median:
= Lb + C n + 1)/2 - Fb

fm

Mo = (70 + 1) / 2
= 35.5
fm = 41
Lb = 1.45
C = 0.5
Fb = 26

So,

=1.45 + 0.5 {(35.5 – 26)/41}

=1.57
