Chapter 2: Q. 2.60 (page 68)

In Exercises 2.60-2.71. we have presented some quantitative data sets and specified a grouping method for practicing the concepts. For each data set,

a. determine a frequency distribution

b. obtain a relative-frequency distribution.

c. construct a frequency histogram based on your result from part (a).

d. construct a relative-frequency histogram based on your result

from part (b).

Use single-value grouping.

Short Answer

Part c. The frequency histogram is given as

Part d. The relative frequency histogram is given as

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information

We are given a quantitative data sets

02

Part (a) Step 2. Frequency Distribution

The data consists of three numbers 1,3,4. So using single value grouping its frequency distribution is given as

Part (b) Step 1. Relative frequency distribution

The relative frequency distribution for the given data is given as

NumberFrequencyRelative Frequency
12
210=0.2
35510=0.5
43310=0.3

Part (c) Step 1. Frequency histogram

The frequency histogram for the frequency distribution can be given as

05

Part (d) Step 1. Relative frequency histogram

The relative-frequency histogram for the relative-frequency distribution can be given as

For a qualitative data set, what is a

a. frequency distribution?

b. relative-frequency distribution?

PCBs and Pelicans. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), industrial pollutants, are known to be carcinogens and a great danger to natural ecosystems. As a result of several studies, PCB production was banned in the United States in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001. One study, published in 1972 by R. W. Risebrough, is titled "Effects of Environmental Pollutants Upon Animals Other Than Man" (Proceedings of the 6ed Berkeley Symposium on Mathematics and Statistics, VI, University of California Press, pp. 443-463). In that study, 60 Anacapa pelican eggs were collected and measured for their shell thickness, in millimeters (mm), and concentration of PCBs, in parts per million (ppm). Following is a relative-frequency histogram of the PCB concentration data.

Detroit Tigers. From the Baseball Almanac website, we found the heights, in inches, of the players on the 2012 World Series runner-up Detroit Tigers baseball team.

Use the graph to answer the following questions. Note that cholesterol levels are always expressed as whole numbers.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of these data with five lines per stem.

b. Why is it better to use five lines per stem here instead of one or two lines per stem?

Residential Energy Consumption. Construct a relative frequency polygon for the energy-consumption data given in Exercise 2.84 Use the classes specified in that exercise.
