Question

Construct a frequency distribution and a frequency histogram for the data set using the indicated number of classes. Describe any patterns. Number of​ classes: 8 Data​ set: Finishing times​ (in seconds) of 20 male participants in a 5K race

Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

Number of classes = 8

    Highest value =2300

  Lowest value = 1250

Class width= highest value – lowest value / number of classes

               = 2300 – 1250/8

                = 131.25 = 132

So, we can write class as 1250+132=1382

Class                                        frequency

1250-1382                                 2

1382-1514                                 3

1514-1646                                 6

1646-1778                                 2

1778-1910                                 3

1910-2042                                 2

2042-2174                                 1

2174-2306                                 1
