Sorting through unsolicited e-mail and spam affects the productivity of office workers. An InsightExpress survey monitored offic

e workers to determine the unproductive time per day devoted to unsolicited e-mail and spam (USA Today, November 13, 2003). The data below show a sample of time in minutes devoted to this task.
2 4 8 4
8 1 2 34
12 1 5 8
5 5 3 4
25 18 4 15

Summarize the data by constructing the following items.
1. Fill in the frequency (0 decimals), the relative frequency (2 decimals), the cumulative frequency (0 decimals) and the cumulative relative frequency (2 decimals) values below.

Class (Minutes) Frequency Relative Frequency Cumulative Frequency Cumulative Relative Frequency
1-5
6-10
11-15
16-20
21-25
26-30
31-34
(Total)

2. Use the ogive graph of these data to answer the questions shown below.
(a) What percentage of office workers spend 5 minutes or less on unsolicited e-mail and spam?
(b) What percentage of office workers spend more than 10 minutes a day on this task?

Answer:

1. Refer to the explanation for the frequency table.

2. (a) 60%

   (b) 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1. The question is asking us to group the data according to the classes given and fill in the frequency (F), relative frequency (RF), cumulative frequency (CF) and relative cumulative frequency (RCF).

To compute the frequency for each class count the number of data that lies in the class range and write it. For the first class (1-5) we can see that there are 12 numbers which lie in the range 1 to 5. Those numbers are: 2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 1, 5, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4. Similarly, for the second class, the frequency is 3 because 8, 8, 8 lie in this range from our existing data. For the third class 11-15 there are 2 numbers in the given data which lie in this range and those numbers are 12, 15. Similarly, the rest of the frequencies can be computed.

For the relative frequency, the frequency of each class is divided by the total frequency i.e. 20.  

For the class 1-5, RF = 12/20 = 0.6.  

For 6-10, RF = 3/20 = 0.15

For 11-15, RF = 2/20 = 0.1

For 16-20, RF = 1/20 = 0.05

For 21-25, RF=1/20 = 0.05

For 26-30, RF = 0/20 = 0.00

For 31-34, RF= 1/20 = 0.05.

To compute the cumulative frequency, add the existing frequency of each class with the previous frequencies.

For 1-5, CF = 0+12 = 12

For 6-10, CF = 12+3=15

For 11-15, CF = 12+3+2 = 17

For 16-20, CF=12+3+2+1 = 18

For 21-25, CF = 12+3+2+1+1=19

For 25-30, CF = 12+3+2+1+1+0=19

For 31-34, CF = 12+3+2+1+1+0+1=20

Now, to compute relative cumulative frequency, add the existing relative frequency of each class with the previous relative frequencies.  

For 1-5, RCF = 0+0.6

For 6-10, RCF = 0.6 + 0.15 = 0.75

For 11-15, RCF = 0.6+0.15+0.1 = 0.85

The rest of the relative cumulative frequencies can be computed in the same way.

Class(Minutes)           F       RF     CF     RCF

      1-5                       12     0.60    12     0.60  

      6-10                      3     0.15     15     0.75  

      11-15                      2     0.10     17     0.85  

      16-20                    1      0.05    18     0.90  

      21-25                    1      0.05    19     0.95  

      26-30                   0     0.00    19     0.95  

      31-34                     1     0.05    20       1  

       <u>Total                  20</u>  

Part 2. Now, we are asked to compute the Ogive graph which is also called as the cumulative frequency graph. The cumulative frequency needs to be plotted on the y-axis and the upper limit of each class needs to be plotted on the x-axis. The graph is attached.

(a) From the graph we can see that the number of workers who spend less than 5 minutes on unsolicited e-mail and spam are 12. So the answer for this part is 12 workers.

Percentage = 12/20 x 100 = 60%

(b) From the graph we can see that the number of workers who spend less than 10 minutes on spam e-mail are 15. The question is asking for the number of people who spend more than 10 minutes. For this we need to subtract 15 from the total number of workers.  

Number of workers spending more than 10 minutes = 20-15 = 5 workers.

Percentage = 5/20 x 100 = 25%

A total of 150 students have taken an Algebra 2 final exam. The scores are normally distributed with a mean of 71% and standard
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

102 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 65% and 71% are both 1 standard deviation from the mean (71%).  According to the empirical rule, 68% of scores lie within 1 std. dev. of the mean.

68% of 150 students would be 0.68(150 students) = 102 students

Another project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,253% of their goal, raising a total of $313,490 from 7,511 supporters
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The original goal is $25019.154 .

Step by step Explanation:

Let us assume that the origianl goal be x .

As given

Another project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,253% of their goal, raising a total of $313,490 .

1253% is written in the decimal form .

= \frac{1253}{100}

= 12.53

Than the equation becomes

12.53 × x = 313490

12.53x = 313490

x = \frac{313490}{12.53}

x = $ 25019.154

Therefore the original goal is $25019.154 .
