Question 4.1.1: Determine the missing values in the table above.

  1. Calculate missing value A (Frequency).

    For the first row, "MIDPOINT X FREQUENCY" is 20 and "MIDPOINT" is 10.

    A×10=20A \times 10 = 20 A=2010A = \frac{20}{10} A=2A = \boxed{\textbf{2}}
  2. Calculate missing value B (Midpoint).

    For the third row, the rainfall interval is 40<x≤6040 < x \le 60. The midpoint is the average of the lower and upper bounds.

    B=40+602B = \frac{40 + 60}{2} B=1002B = \frac{100}{2} B=50B = \boxed{\textbf{50}}

    Question 4.1.2: Using the table above, calculate the estimated mean rainfall.

  3. Complete the sums for frequency and (midpoint ×\times frequency).

    Using A=2A=2 and B=50B=50:
    Total Frequency (∑f\sum f):

    2+4+5+6+8+3+2=302 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 8 + 3 + 2 = 30

    Total (Midpoint ×\times Frequency) (∑(x⋅f)\sum (x \cdot f)):

    20+120+(50×5)+420+720+330+26020 + 120 + (50 \times 5) + 420 + 720 + 330 + 260 20+120+250+420+720+330+260=212020 + 120 + 250 + 420 + 720 + 330 + 260 = 2120
  4. Calculate the estimated mean rainfall (xˉ\bar{x}).

    The formula for the estimated mean is:

    xˉ=∑(x⋅f)∑f\bar{x} = \frac{\sum (x \cdot f)}{\sum f} xˉ=212030\bar{x} = \frac{2120}{30} xˉ=70.67 mm\bar{x} = \boxed{\textbf{70.67 mm}}

    Question 4.1.3: Draw an Ogive (cumulative frequency graph) of the data on the GRID PROVIDED.
    I cannot draw a graph directly. You would plot the cumulative frequency against the upper class boundaries.

    Question 4.1.4: Write the following:

    a) Modal class

  5. Identify the highest frequency.

    The frequencies are 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 3, 2. The highest frequency is 8.

  6. Determine the class interval corresponding to the highest frequency.

    The class interval with a frequency of 8 is 80<x≤10080 < x \le 100.
    The modal class is 80 < x \le100\boxed{\textbf{80 < x \le 100}}.

    b) Estimated median rainfall

  7. Determine the position of the median.

    Total frequency (NN) = 30.
    The median position is N2=302=15\frac{N}{2} = \frac{30}{2} = 15. The median is the 15th value.

  8. Identify the median class.

    Calculate cumulative frequencies:
    0<x≤200 < x \le 20: Cum Freq = 2
    20<x≤4020 < x \le 40: Cum Freq = 2+4=62 + 4 = 6
    40<x≤6040 < x \le 60: Cum Freq = 6+5=116 + 5 = 11
    60<x≤8060 < x \le 80: Cum Freq = 11+6=1711 + 6 = 17
    The 15th value falls into the class 60<x≤8060 < x \le 80, as its cumulative frequency (17) is the first to exceed the median position (15). So, the median class is 60<x≤8060 < x \le 80.

  9. Calculate the estimated median using the formula for grouped data.

    Median =L+(N2−CFbfm)×w= L + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - CF_b}{f_m} \right) \times w
    Where:
    L=60L = 60 (lower boundary of the median class)
    N=30N = 30 (total frequency)
    CFb=11CF_b = 11 (cumulative frequency of the class before the median class)
    fm=6f_m = 6 (frequency of the median class)
    w=20w = 20 (class width, 80−6080 - 60)

    Median=60+(302−116)×20\text{Median} = 60 + \left( \frac{\frac{30}{2} - 11}{6} \right) \times 20 Median=60+(15−116)×20\text{Median} = 60 + \left( \frac{15 - 11}{6} \right) \times 20 Median=60+(46)×20\text{Median} = 60 + \left( \frac{4}{6} \right) \times 20 Median=60+(23)×20\text{Median} = 60 + \left( \frac{2}{3} \right) \times 20 Median=60+403\text{Median} = 60 + \frac{40}{3} Median=60+13.333...\text{Median} = 60 + 13.333... Median=73.33 mm\text{Median} = \boxed{\textbf{73.33 mm}}
