Step-by-step solution
7 stepsHere are the calculations for both problems.
: Top Table
The problem states that the mean of the distribution is 18.
Prepare the table with midpoints and .
Let be the midpoint of each class interval.
Class Interval Frequencies () Midpoint () 11-13 3 12 36 13-15 6 14 84 15-17 9 16 144 17-19 13 18 234 19-21 f 20 20f 21-23 5 22 110 23-25 1 24 24 Total Calculate the value of frequency .
The formula for the mean of grouped data is .
Given :Multiply both sides by :
Subtract from both sides and 632 from both sides:
The value of is .
Determine the Standard Deviation.
Now that , the total frequency .
The sum .
The mean .To calculate the standard deviation, we need .
Class Interval Frequencies () Midpoint () 11-13 3 12 144 432 13-15 6 14 196 1176 15-17 9 16 256 2304 17-19 13 18 324 4212 19-21 17 20 400 6800 21-23 5 22 484 2420 23-25 1 24 576 576 Total 17920 The formula for the standard deviation () of grouped data is:
Substitute the values:
Rounding to two decimal places, the standard deviation is .
: QUESTION FIVE (Bottom Table)
The data shows the number of times students open their WhatsApp accounts.Prepare the table with cumulative frequencies.
The total frequency .
Class Interval Frequency () Cumulative Frequency () 1-10 15 15 11-20 17 32 21-30 14 46 31-40 12 58 41-50 7 65 Total The formula for the -th quartile () of grouped data is:
where is the lower boundary of the quartile class, is the cumulative frequency of the class before the quartile class, is the frequency of the quartile class, and is the class width. The class width for this data is .
Find the Lower Quartile ().
The position of is .
The class is 11-20 (since its is the first ).- (cumulative frequency of the class before 11-20)
- (frequency of the 11-20 class)
Substitute these values into the formula:
Rounding to two decimal places, the lower quartile () is .
Find the Upper Quartile ().
The position of is .
The class is 31-40 (since its is the first ).- (cumulative frequency of the class before 31-40)
- (frequency of the 31-40 class)
Substitute these values into the formula:
Rounding to two decimal places, the upper quartile () is .
Find the Interquartile Range (IQR).
The interquartile range is the difference between the upper and lower quartiles:
The interquartile range is .
