STATS 101 – Tutorial 2

1. A zoologist collected wild lizards and placed the on a treadmill to measure their
speed. The recorded speeds (in meters/seconds) for 30 lizards are as follows:
1.28 1.38 1.24 2.47 1.94 2.52 2.67 1.29
1.56 2.66 2.17 1.57 2.10 2.54 1.63 2.11
2.57 1.72 0.76 1.02 1.78 0.50 1.49 1.57
1.04 1.92 1.55 1.78 1.70 1.20

Using this data, construct a

(a) Relative frequency histogram (c) frequency polygon
(b) Bar chart (d) Ogive

2. The following are drying times of a certain vanish and the amount of a certain
chemical that has been added:

Amount of additive (in grams), x 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Drying time (hours), y 7.2 6.7 4.7 3.7 4.7 4.2 5.2 5.7

Plot a scatter diagram and describe the relationship in the data.
