The length of a room is 23 1/2 feet. When using a 1/8 inch = 1 foot scale, find the length of

a. Fill in the midpoint of each class in the column provided. b. Enter the midpoints in L1 and the frequencies in L2, and use 1-

Tresset [83]

Answer:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Midpoint} & {Class} & {Frequency} & {64} & {63-65} & {1} & {67} & {66-68} & {11} & {70} & {69-71} & {8} &{73} & {72-74} & {7} & {76} & {75-77} & {3} & {79} & {78-80} & {1}\ \end{array}$

Using the frequency distribution, I found the mean height to be 70.2903 with a standard deviation of 3.5795

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for class

Solving (a): Fill the midpoint of each class.

Midpoint (M) is calculated as:

$M = \frac{1}{2}(Lower + Upper)$

Where

$Lower \to$ Lower class interval

$Upper \to$ Upper class interval

So, we have:

Class 63-65:

$M = \frac{1}{2}(63 + 65) = 64$

Class 66 - 68:

$M = \frac{1}{2}(66 + 68) = 67$

When the computation is completed, the frequency distribution will be:

$\begin{array}{ccc}{Midpoint} & {Class} & {Frequency} & {64} & {63-65} & {1} & {67} & {66-68} & {11} & {70} & {69-71} & {8} &{73} & {72-74} & {7} & {76} & {75-77} & {3} & {79} & {78-80} & {1}\ \end{array}$

Solving (b): Mean and standard deviation using 1-VarStats

Using 1-VarStats, the solution is:

$\bar x = 70.2903$
