Assignment # 1
Q.1 The following data represents the ages of 30 students in a statistics class. Construct a
frequency distribution that has five classes.

Ages of Students
18 20 21 27 29 20

19 30 32 19 34 19

30 39 32 44 33 46

24 29 18 37 38 22

54 49 18 51 21 21
1. Find the relative frequencies for the “Ages of Students”.
2. Draw a frequency histogram and Ogive.
3. Find the standard deviation and coefficient of variation of the frequency distribution.

Q.2 Draw pie chart for the given data

Type Frequency
Motor Vehicle 43,500
Falls 12,200
Poison 6,400
Drowning 4,600
Fire 4,200
Ingestion of Food/Object 2,900
Firearms 1,400

Q.3 Calculate first four moments about mean for the following frequency distribution:

Weights (grams) Frequency (f)

65-84 9
85-104 10
105-124 17
125-144 10
145-164 5
165-184 4
185-204 5
Total 60
Also find the coefficient of Skewness and Kurtosis, comments on the results.

22-32 8
32-42 12
42-52 15
52-62 20
62-72 16
72-82 14
82-92 10
92-102 8
Total 110

Q.7 The table below gives the number of hours spent studying for a statistics exam (x) and
the final exam grade (y).
