Data Set 1.

The class levels of a simple random sample of students are as follows:

Senior Senior Senior Senior Senior


Senior Senior Senior Sophomore Senior
Senior Sophomore Freshman Sophomore
Freshman Junior Senior Sophomore
Junior Junior Senior Sophomore

A. Frequency Distribution Table

Table 1. Frequency Distribution According to Class Level


Class Level Frequency
Freshman 2
Sophomore 5
Junior 3
Senior 12
Total 22

After tabulating the data according to its frequency in Table 1, it was observed that a random sample of 22
students included 2 freshmen, 5 sophomores, 3 juniors, and 12 seniors.

Sophomore 0.227272727
Junior 0.136363636
Senior 0.545454545
Total 1

Based on the data in Table 2, a relative frequency table was produced which represents the rate of number of
students according to class level to the total number of students from the random sampling in which around
9.09% are freshmen, 22.73% are sophomores, 13.64% are juniors and, 54.54% are seniors.

Data Set 2. A sample of clutch sizes (number of eggs produced) for a certain type of duck is given as follows:

13 11 9 8 11 7 9 9 10 6
10 10 12 10 10 7 10 11 10

A. Construct a table that gives the frequency distribution of this data. Interpret the result.

Clutch sizes f <CF >CF


6 1 1 19
7 2 3 18
8 1 4 16
9 3 7 15
10 7 14 12
11 3 17 5
12 1 18 2
13 1 19 1
total = 19

The table depicts the Frequency of Clutch Sizes of a specific duck in 19 different situations. The most frequent
clutch size is 10, which have laid seven times. N umbers 9 and 11 are next, both laid three each. The number 7 has
laid two, while the numbers 6, 8, 12, and 13 each have only laid one.

B. Construct a table that gives the relative frequency distribution of this data. Interpret the result.
Clutch f <CF >CF Relative Frequency <RCF

13 1 19 1 0.052631579 100.00
14 0
total = 19 1

On 19 different occasions, this table displays the percentage of the occurrence of different clutch sizes for a
specific type of duck. With a percentage of 36.84 percent, clutch size 10 has the highest percentage. The numbers 9
and 10 came in second, with 15.79 percent each. Then 7, with 10.53 percent, came in third. Lastly, clutch sizes 6, 8, 12,
and 13 have the smallest percentage of 5.26 percent each.

C. Construct a frequency histogram of this data. Interpret the result.


The figure above shows the frequency of clutch sizes using histogram. The clutch size that occurs mostly is
between 8 to 10 which has a frequency of 10. Next frequent clutch sizes to occur lies.
between 6 to 8 and 10 to 12 with the frequency of 4 each. Lastly, the clutch size 12 to 14 has only 1 frequency.

E. Summarize and interpret the results obtained from Task a to Task d.


The facts show the lowest temperature (in Fahrenheit) in Denver every February 1st over a 26-year period (1986-2011).
The average lowest temperature over those years is 21.9038. The table also indicates that when the numbers are
ordered from least to greatest, 23 degrees Fahrenheit is in the middle. With 3 occurrences over 26 years, the
temperature 23 degrees occurred the most every February. The highest temperature reached which is 48.2 degrees
occurred on February 1 2003. Denver had the lowest temperature of -13 degrees in Feb 1, 2011 making it the coldest
month of February. We can therefore conclude that Denver has a chance of of +/-(30.6) every February 1 to reach which
is 21.9038 degrees.
