35 to 44 30,021
45 to 54 32,798
55 and over 28,660
a) Construct a relative frequency distribution. What proportion of workers is between 20 and 24 years old?
b) Construct a cumulative relative frequency distribution. What proportion of workers is younger than 35 years old?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hence, the proportion of workers is younger than $35$ years old is $0.3481$

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

(b)

Younger workers than $35$ years

     $P=\frac{$

$\Rightarrow P=\frac{4794+13273+30789}{140335}$

$\Rightarrow P=\frac{48856}{140335}$

$\Rightarrow P=0.3481$
