Solution

To calculate the frequencies for the given class intervals, we will count the number of data points that fall into each interval. Here are the steps to compute:

  1. Class Interval Definitions:

    • 39x<4239 \leq x < 42
    • 42x<4542 \leq x < 45
    • 45x<4845 \leq x < 48
    • 48x<5148 \leq x < 51
    • 51x<5451 \leq x < 54
    • 54x<5754 \leq x < 57
    • 57x<6057 \leq x < 60
    • 60x<6360 \leq x < 63
  2. Data Overview: The dataset contains 100 values, and we will sort these into their appropriate intervals.

Let me calculate the frequencies for each interval. Given data data = [ 49, 51, 53, 52, 50, 60, 51, 51, 52, 52, 44, 53, 45, 57, 39, 53, 59, 47, 51, 48, 49, 49, 44, 54, 46, 52, 55, 54, 47, 53, 51, 48, 55, 53, 55, 47, 53, 43, 48, 46, 54, 46, 51, 48, 53, 56, 48, 47, 49, 57, 55, 53, 50, 47, 57, 49, 43, 58, 52, 44, 46, 59, 57, 47, 61, 60, 49, 53, 41, 48, 59, 53, 45, 45, 56, 40, 46, 49, 50, 57, 47, 52, 48, 50, 45, 56, 47, 47, 48, 46 ]

Class intervals

class_intervals = [ (39, 42), (42, 45), (45, 48), (48, 51), (51, 54), (54, 57), (57, 60), (60, 63) ]

Count frequencies for each class interval

frequencies = [] for lower, upper in class_intervals: count = sum(lower <= x < upper for x in data) frequencies.append(count)

frequenciesHere are the frequencies for each class interval based on the provided data:

  1. 39x<4239 \leq x < 42: 3
  2. 42x<4542 \leq x < 45: 5
  3. 45x<4845 \leq x < 48: 19
  4. 48x<5148 \leq x < 51: 19
  5. 51x<5451 \leq x < 54: 22
  6. 54x<5754 \leq x < 57: 10
  7. 57x<6057 \leq x < 60: 9
  8. 60x<6360 \leq x < 63: 3

The total number of data points matches the expected total: 3+5+19+19+22+10+9+3=1003 + 5 + 19 + 19 + 22 + 10 + 9 + 3 = 100.

Would you like further analysis or a visualization of this data? Here are some related questions you might consider:

  1. What is the cumulative frequency for each class interval?
  2. Can you create a histogram to visualize the distribution of the data?
  3. What are the relative frequencies for these class intervals?
  4. How would you calculate the mean of this dataset?
  5. Could you identify the mode or median from this data?

Tip: When organizing data into class intervals, ensure the boundaries are clearly defined to avoid ambiguity, especially for overlapping intervals.
