Question

Weights of statistics students were obtained by a teacher as part of an experiment conducted for the class. The last digit of those weights are listed below. Construct a frequency distribution with 10 classes. Based on the​ distribution, do the weights appear to be reported or actually​ measured?

Answer 1

Answer:

The height appear to be reported because there are disproportionately more 0s and 5s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 2 3 3 3 4 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 8 8 8 9

Creating a frequency table :

Last digit ______ Frequency

0 ______________ 9

1 _______________ 1

2 _______________1

3 _______________3

4 _______________ 1

5 _______________11

6 _______________ 1

8 _______________ 3

9 ________________1

From the frequency distribution table, it could be seen that the volumeof 5's and 0's are far more than the volume of the other digits. We could infer from this numbers were reported and not measured.
