Math Problem Statement

  1. Based on the data, using a class size of 5 kg and 7 classes, construct a frequency distribution with a class boundary.
Based on the data, using a class size of 5 kg and 7 classes, construct a frequency distribution with a class boundary.

Solution

Here is the frequency distribution based on the given data with a class size of 5 kg and 7 classes. The class boundaries are extended by 0.5 on either side:

Class Boundaries (kg)Frequency
0.5 - 5.53
5.5 - 10.55
10.5 - 15.56
15.5 - 20.58
20.5 - 25.513
25.5 - 30.56
30.5 - 35.52

Let me know if you'd like further details or explanations.

Here are 5 related questions to think about:

  1. How would the distribution change if the class size were 10 kg instead of 5 kg?
  2. Can we compute the relative frequencies and cumulative frequencies for this data?
  3. What is the midpoint for each class interval?
  4. How would you create a histogram based on this frequency distribution?
  5. How can the frequency distribution help in understanding the central tendency and spread of the data?

Tip: Frequency distributions are useful for organizing large datasets into manageable groups, making it easier to see patterns and trends!
