Sure, let's break down each step:

i. Construct a grouped frequency distribution for the data using 7 classes:


First, we need to find the range of the data: Range = Maximum value - Minimum value Range = 134 - 100 = 34
Next, we calculate the class width: Class Width = Range / Number of Classes Class Width = 34 / 7 ≈ 4.86
We'll round up the class width to 5 for simplicity.
Now, we can start constructing the grouped frequency distribution:

Class Interval Frequency

100 - 104

105 - 109

110 - 114

115 - 119

120 - 124

125 - 129

130 - 134

ii. Mid-points:
To find the midpoints of each class interval, we take the average of the lower and upper limits of each class interval.

Class Interval Midpoint

100 - 104 102

105 - 109 107

110 - 114 112

115 - 119 117

120 - 124 122

125 - 129 127

130 - 134 132

iii. Class Boundaries:


Class boundaries are the values that separate one class from another. They are midway between the upper limit of one
class and the lower limit of the next.
For example, between the first and second class, the boundary is (104.5 - 105.5).
iv. Relative Frequency:
Relative frequency is calculated by dividing the frequency of each class by the total number of data points.
v. Percentage relative frequency:
Percentage relative frequency is the relative frequency expressed as a percentage.
vi. Less than Cumulative frequency:
Less than cumulative frequency is the sum of the frequencies up to and including a particular class.
vii. More than Cumulative Frequency:
More than cumulative frequency is the sum of the frequencies from a particular class onwards.
Q2
To draw a frequency polygon and calculate less than and more than cumulative frequencies, we'll need to first organize the
data and calculate the cumulative frequencies.

Here's the frequency distribution table:

Class Interval Frequency


100 - 104 3
105 - 109 8
110 - 114 11
115 - 119 7
120 - 124 9
125 - 129 6
130 - 134 6
Now, let's calculate the cumulative frequencies:

Class Interval Frequency Cumulative Frequency (Less than) Cumulative Frequency (More than)
100 - 104 3 3 50
105 - 109 8 11 47
110 - 114 11 22 39
115 - 119 7 29 28
120 - 124 9 38 21
125 - 129 6 44 12
130 - 134 6 50 6
Now, let's draw the frequency polygon:

Class Interval
In the frequency polygon, the x-axis represents the class intervals, and the y-axis represents the frequency. We plot points
at the midpoints of each class interval and connect them with straight lines.

This frequency polygon shows the distribution of the heights of the trees.
