Tutorial 1

The document contains a tutorial sheet with exercises related to frequency distribution for two sets of data: scores of 50 students in a mathematics test and 40 statistical values from an engineering firm. It instructs the construction of frequency distributions with specified class intervals and includes tasks for visual representation such as histograms and frequency polygons. The exercises aim to enhance understanding of data analysis and representation techniques.

MT271: TUTORIAL SHEET 1

1. The scores of 50 students in one of their mathematics tests were recorded as follows:

55 34 49 73 81 38 66 71 63 56
47 52 39 75 61 56 50 48 65 73
54 62 58 46 48 35 76 85 68 55
66 72 69 58 54 46 49 58 76 67
77 44 59 68 36 36 48 47 58 73

Construct the frequency distribution using six classes with the lower limit of the first
class interval being 30. The distribution should also include the relative frequencies.

2. Forty statistical values were collected from a certain engineering firm and the results
in thousands of dollars were shown below;

1.8 2.3 10.0 30.0 1.2 4.9 2.0 5.1 8.1 40.1
1.3 2.5 3.6 1.8 2.4 7.6 3.1 8.5 6.5 6.2
1.2 2.8 4.5 6.1 7.8 3.2 2.8 6.1 3.8 4.9
19.6 1.7 8.6 6.4 5.2 4.1 3.1 8.1 6.8 5.8

Construct a frequency distribution with five classes only. Starting with the lower limit
of the first class interval as 1.0

3. By considering the grouped frequency distribution obtained in question (1) , do the


following
(a) Draw a histogram.
(b) Draw a frequency polygon.
(c) Draw the cumulative frequency polygon (OGIVE).
