b. Use class midpoints for the horizontal scale and frequency for the vertical scale. (Class
boundaries can also be used for the horizontal scale.)

5abc.
6a. Use upper class boundaries for the horizontal scale and cumulative frequency for the vertical
scale.
bc.
Sample answer: The greatest increase in cumulative frequency occurs between 52.5 and 61.5
b.
1. Organizing the data into a frequency distribution may make patterns within the data more evident.
Sometimes it is easier to identify patterns of a data set by looking at a graph of the frequency
distribution.
2. If there are too few or too many classes, it may be difficult to detect patterns because the data are
too condensed or too spread out.
4. Relative frequency of a class is the portion, or percentage, of the data that falls in that class.
Cumulative frequency of a class is the sum of the frequencies of that class and all previous
classes.
5. The sum of the relative frequencies must be 1 or 100% because it is the sum of all portions or
percentages of the data.
7. False. Class width is the difference between the lower (or upper limits) of consecutive classes.
8. True
