Math Problem Statement
Solution
To construct the table based on the data provided in the activity, I will go through the steps outlined in the image:
Step-by-Step Solution:
-
Identify the Data Set: The data provided indicates three classes of performance appraisal: High, Average, and Low.
-
Count the Frequency of Each Category: Based on the list of appraisals:
- High: Count how many times "High" appears.
- Average: Count how many times "Average" appears.
- Low: Count how many times "Low" appears.
-
Calculate the Frequency and Percentage for Each Category:
- The frequency for each category is the number of times it appears.
- The percentage for each category can be calculated using the formula:
- Given that the total number of applicants is 20, each percentage is calculated relative to this total.
Let’s tally the data and compute the table:
Tallying Results:
- High appears 9 times.
- Average appears 7 times.
- Low appears 4 times.
Constructing the Table:
Class | Tally | Frequency (f) | Percentage (%) |
---|---|---|---|
High | |||
Average | |||
Low | |||
Total | 20 | 100% |
Final Table Summary:
Class | Tally | Frequency (f) | Percentage (%) |
---|---|---|---|
High | 9 | 9 | 45% |
Average | 7 | 7 | 35% |
Low | 4 | 4 | 20% |
Total | 20 | 100% |
Let me know if you would like a deeper explanation of each step or have questions!
Additional Questions:
- How would you calculate the percentage if the total number of applicants changed?
- What would happen to the percentages if there were an additional "High" rating?
- Can you explain why the percentages add up to 100%?
- How does the tally method help in counting data more effectively?
- If a new category was added (e.g., "Very High"), how would it affect the table?
Tip:
When calculating percentages, ensure that all class counts are accurate before applying the formula, as this avoids calculation errors.
