Solve using Constructing Frequency Distribution

1. Determine as to estimate number of classes k, k = 1 + 3 log n, where n is the number of populations

2. Determine the range, r = highest values- lowest value

3. Obtain the class size, c = r/k

4. Set the lowest value as the first lower limit and get the upper limit which is equal to first lower limi+ class size 1.

5. Do the same process again until you reach the last class limit that includes the highest value from the data.

Let's solve the problem by following the steps you provided. I'll extract the data from the image and then construct the frequency distribution, calculate the mean, median, and mode.

### Step 1: Extract the Data
The weekly duty hours of the nursing students as provided in the image are:

**Data:**
28, 32, 35, 30, 38, 40, 30, 38, 40, 32  
48, 39, 33, 37, 38, 36, 40, 36, 32, 40  
44, 37, 35, 38, 33, 39, 41, 35, 39, 35  
41, 37, 36, 34, 35, 37, 34, 33, 32, 34  
32, 34, 31, 33, 31, 35, 41, 34, 40

### Step 2: Estimate Number of Classes (k)
The formula for estimating the number of classes \( k \) is:

\[
k = 1 + 3.322 \log n
\]

Where \( n \) is the number of observations.

Let's calculate this.

### Step 3: Determine the Range (r)
The range \( r \) is calculated as:

\[
r = \text{Highest Value} - \text{Lowest Value}
\]

### Step 4: Obtain the Class Size (c)
The class size \( c \) can be calculated as:

\[
c = \frac{r}{k}
\]

### Step 5: Set the Lower and Upper Limits for the Classes
Using the class size, set the lowest value as the first lower limit, and calculate the upper limit by adding the class size. Repeat the process until all data points are covered.

Now, I'll perform these calculations for you.### Results:

1. **Estimated Number of Classes (k):** 6.61 (rounded to 7 classes)
2. **Range (r):** 20 (highest value 48 - lowest value 28)
3. **Class Size (c):** 4

### Frequency Distribution:

| Class Interval | Frequency |
|----------------|-----------|
| 28 - 31        | 5         |
| 32 - 35        | 20        |
| 36 - 39        | 14        |
| 40 - 43        | 8         |
| 44 - 47        | 1         |
| 48 - 51        | 1         |

Next, we can calculate the mean, median, and mode if needed. Let me know if you'd like to proceed with that.

### Relative Questions:
1. How do you interpret the class intervals in this distribution?
2. What are the implications of having most data in one or two classes?
3. Why is class size important in frequency distribution?
4. How could we use this data to create a histogram?
5. How do outliers affect the frequency distribution?

### Tip:
When constructing frequency distributions, always ensure your class intervals are mutually exclusive to avoid double-counting any data point.

Construct the frequency distribution and find the mean, median, and mode of the weekly duty hours of nursing students.

This problem demonstrates how to construct a frequency distribution for the weekly duty hours of nursing students. It includes the estimation of the number of classes, calculation of the range, class size, and the determination of the mean, median, and mode of the data. Suitable for students in Grades 10-12.
