How many employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles?b. Convert the frequency distribution to a cumulative frequency distribution.c. Portray the cumulative distribution in the form of a cumulative frequency polygon.d. Based on the cumulative frequency polygon, about 75% of the employees accumulated how many miles or less?

Answer 1

Answer:

a. How many employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles?

The number of employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles= 5

So the number of employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles is 5.

d. Based on the cumulative frequency polygon, about 75% of the employees accumulated how many miles or less?

8.5 thousands of miles, found by starting at 75 percent on the vertical axis on the right, over to the polygon and then down to the horizontal axis.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given frequency distribution representing the number of frequent flier miles accumulated by the employees in a company.                        

Frequent Flier Miles (000) Frequency

0                     up to 3 5

3                      up to 6 12

6                      up to 9 23

9                     up to 12 8

12                   up to 15 2

Total                       50

a. How many employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles?

The number of employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles= 5

So the number of employees accumulated less than 3,000 miles is 5.

b. Convert the frequency distribution to a cumulative frequency distribution.

We make the cumulative frequency distribution from the frequency distribution by adding up a frequency and all other frequencies below it.                

Frequent Flier Miles Frequency Cumulative frequency

0 up to 3                                5 5

3 up to 6                                      12 17

6 up to 9                                      23 40

9 up to 12                               8 48

12 up to 15                               2 50

Total 50

d. Based on the cumulative frequency polygon, about 75% of the employees accumulated how many miles or less?

8.5 thousands of miles, found by starting at 75 percent on the vertical axis on the right, over to the polygon and then down to the horizontal axis.
