3 partsStep 1: List the given data in ascending order.
The weights of the 30 learners are:
22, 14, 18, 26, 32, 11
29, 21, 15, 27, 34, 13
24, 19, 20, 25, 25, 21
10, 16, 28, 20, 17, 24
12, 19, 22, 25, 33, 21
Sorted data:
10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 19, 20, 20, 21, 21, 21, 22, 22, 24, 24, 25, 25, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 34
i) Construct a frequency distribution table.
Using class intervals of 10-14, 15-19, 20-24, etc., we calculate the frequency (f), midpoint (x), product of frequency and midpoint (fx), and cumulative frequency (cf) for each class.
| Class Interval | Frequency (f) | Midpoint (x) | fx | Cumulative Frequency (cf) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-14 | 5 | 12 | 60 | 5 |
| 15-19 | 6 | 17 | 102 | 11 |
| 20-24 | 9 | 22 | 198 | 20 |
| 25-29 | 7 | 27 | 189 | 27 |
| 30-34 | 3 | 32 | 96 | 30 |
| Total |
ii) Identify the modal class.
The modal class is the class interval with the highest frequency. From the table, the highest frequency is 9, which corresponds to the class interval 20-24.
The modal class is .
iii) Calculate the mean weight of the learners.
The mean () for grouped data is calculated using the formula:
From the frequency distribution table:
Substitute these values into the formula:
The mean weight of the learners is .
iv) Determine the median class.
The median class is the class interval where the median value lies.
The total number of learners () is 30.
The position of the median is value.
Looking at the cumulative frequency column:
- The 5th value is in the 10-14 class.
- The 11th value is in the 15-19 class.
- The 20th value is in the 20-24 class. Since the 15th value falls between the 11th and 20th values, it is located in the 20-24 class. The median class is .
