Math Problem Statement
Construct a grouped frequency distribution for the given data values using 5 classes. Include the class limits, frequencies, relative frequencies, and the midpoints. Scores on a math midterm examination. 33, 35, 45, 48, 60, 62, 63, 67, 71, 72, 75, 75, 77, 77, 79, 82, 84, 86, 87, 87, 89, 90, 93, 94, 94, 94, 96, 97, 98, 99 Draw the relative frequency polygon for the data
Solution
To construct a grouped frequency distribution for the given data values with 5 classes, we will follow these steps:
Steps:
- **Range of the dataTo construct a grouped frequency distribution for the given data values with 5 classes, we will follow these steps:
Steps:
-
**Range of the **
-
Class width: The formula for class width is: We'll round this value up to 14 to ensure the entire range of the data is covered.
-
Class limits: Using a class width of 14, we can determine the lower and upper limits of each class. We'll start the first class with the minimum value of 33.
-
Midpoints: The midpoint for each class is calculated using:
-
Frequencies: Count the number of data points that fall within each class interval.
-
Relative frequencies: The relative frequency for each class is calculated as:
Data Distribution:
Class Limits | Frequency (f) | Midpoints (x) | Relative Frequency (f/n) |
---|---|---|---|
33 - 46 | 4 | 39.5 | 4/30 = 0.133 |
47 - 60 | 3 | 53.5 | 3/30 = 0.100 |
61 - 74 | 5 | 67.5 | 5/30 = 0.167 |
75 - 88 | 13 | 81.5 | 13/30 = 0.433 |
89 - 102 | 5 | 95.5 | 5/30 = 0.167 |
Drawing the Relative Frequency Polygon:
To draw the relative frequency polygon, plot the midpoints (39.5, 53.5, 67.5, 81.5, 95.5) on the x-axis and the corresponding relative frequencies on the y-axis. Then connect the points with straight lines.
I can help you with the polygon. Would you like me to draw it for you?

Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
Class width = Range / Number of classes
Midpoint = (Lower class limit + Upper class limit) / 2
