Figure 1.1 bar chart for students based on favourite subjects

b) Draw a multiple bar chart (in percentage) and make comparison for each
favourite subject between the two gender.
For the purpose of comparisons , since the total frequency for the two data sets are not equal,it
recommended to use relative frequency(%) its shown table below :

Relative frequency (%)

Figure 1.2 Multiple Bar Chart For Percentage Of Students Based On Favourite Subjects

We can now compare girl and boy data based on favourite subjects shown in figure 1.2.
We observe that boys favourite subjects on mathematics and science which is 37.5% and 25%
respectively compare to girls. However for language and arts subjects, more to the girl compare
to boys which is 30 % and 40 % respectively.

QUESTION 2

a) Construct a frequency distribution. Take 0.8 as a class width and 1.8 as a lower

4
 limit of the first class.

I. Frequency Distribution Table of 36 industrial machine

As given 0.8 as a class width for distributions and 1.8 as a lower limit of the first
class for the males

c) State The Mode Class Of The Distribution.

From the table above refer to frequency , class mode which contains the largest
frequency class mode 4.1 – 4.8.

QUESTION 3

a) Mean

b) Mode

Q1 = (29+0.75) (30-29)

Q2 = (35+0.5) (38-35)
= 106.5
Q3 = (40+0.25) (41-40)
= 40.25
Step III : IQR = Q1−¿Q3
IQR = 40.25 – 29.75
= 10.5

QUESTION 4

a. Draw a Venn diagram for the population and the events

F T
F and T

Fͨ and T F and Tͨ

b. i) What is the probability that a youngster has a Facebook or a Twitter account?

P (F or T) = P (F) + P(T) – P(F and T) = 0.7 + 0.4 – 0.2 = 0.9
ii) What is the probability that a youngster has a Facebook account only?
P(F and T ͨ ) = P (F) – P (F and T) = 0.7 – 0.2 = 0.5
(use the venn diagram; can split up F in (F and T ͨ ) and (F and T)

8
 iii) What is the probability that a youngster has no Facebook nor a Twitter account?
P(F ͨ and T ͨ) = 1 – 0.9 = 0.1
(using the complement rule )
iv) What is the probability that a Facebook user has a Twitter account as well?
P (T ∧F) 0.20 2
P(T /F) = = = ≈ 28.6%
P ( F) 0.70 7
v) Are the events F and T independent?
Not independent. F and T are independent if P ( F and T) = P (F) X (T)
But P (F and T) = 0.20 ≠0.70 X 0.40 = P(F) X P (T)
(by using result on iv because 28.6% = P (F/T) ≠ P(T) = 40% )
c. Compute the probability that the youngster uses a smartphone
P(A) = 0.6 , P ( B/A) =0.80 , P(B /A ͨ) = 0.55
Then P (A ͨ ) = 0.4 is the probability of non student
Then P (B) = 0.6 X 0. 8 + 0.4 X 0.55 = 0.70
d. If a youngster having a smartphone, what is the probability he is studying?
Compare the answer to the 60% proportion of students in the population and explain the
difference.
P ( A∧B ) 0.6 X 0.8 24
P (A/B ) = = = ≈68.6%
P ( B) 0.70 35

Due to the facts that young students use smartphone more often, the proportion of
students amongst the smartphones users is larger than the proportion of students in the
population.

0.80 Has a smartphone (B )

0.20
Has no smartphone (B c)
Student A

9
Arbitrary youngster

0.55 Has a smartphone (B )

Nonstudent (Ac ͨ)

0. 45 Has no smartphone (B c)
