To find the percentage of each query of learners in the thesis process, you can use the following
formula:
Percentage = (Number of queries for a specific query type / Total number of queries) * 100
1. Thesis Initiation:
Percentage = (33 / (33 + 6 + 22 + 24 + 22 + 21)) * 100
Percentage = (33 / 128) * 100
Percentage ≈ 25.78%
2. Info-mail:
Percentage = (6 / (33 + 6 + 22 + 24 + 22 + 21)) * 100
Percentage = (6 / 128) * 100
Percentage ≈ 4.69%
3. Technical Issue:
Percentage = (22 / (33 + 6 + 22 + 24 + 22 + 21)) * 100
Percentage = (22 / 128) * 100
Percentage ≈ 17.19%
4. Exemption:
Percentage = (24 / (33 + 6 + 22 + 24 + 22 + 21)) * 100
Percentage = (24 / 128) * 100
Percentage ≈ 18.75%
5. Supervision:
Percentage = (22 / (33 + 6 + 22 + 24 + 22 + 21)) * 100
Percentage = (22 / 128) * 100
Percentage ≈ 17.19%
6. Final Seminar:
Percentage = (21 / (33 + 6 + 22 + 24 + 22 + 21)) * 100
Percentage = (21 / 128) * 100
Percentage ≈ 16.41%

Slovin's Formula
n = N / (1 + Ne^2)
where:
n = sample size
N = population size
e = margin of error (expressed as a decimal, not a percentage)
Let's solve the sample sizes using Slovin's Formula:
11. N = 20,000 and e = 4%
Converting e to a decimal: e = 4% / 100 = 0.04
n = 20,000 / (1 + 20,000 * 0.04^2)
n = 20,000 / (1 + 20,000 * 0.0016)
n = 20,000 / (1 + 32)
n = 20,000 / 33
n ≈ 606.06
size (n) is approximately 606.
12. N = 40,000 and e = 1%
Converting e to a decimal: e = 1% / 100 = 0.01
n = 40,000 / (1 + 40,000 * 0.01^2)
n = 40,000 / (1 + 40,000 * 0.0001)
n = 40,000 / (1 + 4)
n = 40,000 / 5
n = 8,000
size (n) is 8,000.
13. N = 131,281 and e = 5%
Converting e to a decimal: e = 5% / 100 = 0.05
n = 131,281 / (1 + 131,281 * 0.05^2)
n = 131,281 / (1 + 131,281 * 0.0025)
n = 131,281 / (1 + 328.2025)
n = 131,281 / 329.2025
n ≈ 398.96
size (n) is approximately 399.

To calculate the given measures for the data, let's first arrange the scores in ascending order:
42-44. Decile, percentile , quartile
29, 34, 36, 37, 37, 38, 41, 42, 46, 46, 47, 47, 47, 49, 52, 52, 53, 57, 59, 65
42. Eight Decile:
Step 1: Calculate the position (P) of the eight decile:
P = (8/10) * n
P = (8/10) * 20
P = 16
Step 2: Since the position is a whole number, the eight decile is the 16th value in the ordered list.
Eight Decile = 47
43. Third Quartile (Q3):
The third quartile (Q3) divides the data into 75% below and 25% above. To find Q3, we need to locate
the value that lies at the 75th percentile of the data.
Step 1: Calculate the position (P) of Q3:
P = (3/4) * n
P = (3/4) * 20
P = 15
Step 2: Since the position is a whole number, Q3 is the 15th value in the ordered list.
Third Quartile (Q3) = 52
44. 62nd Percentile:
The 62nd percentile divides the data into 62% below and 38% above. To find the 62nd percentile, we
need to locate the value that lies at the 62nd percentile of the data.
Step 1: Calculate the position (P) of the 62nd percentile:
P = (62/100) * n
P = (62/100) * 20
P = 12.4
Step 2: Since the position is not a whole number, we need to interpolate between the 12th and 13th
values.
Interpolated value = 47 + (12.4 - 12) * ((52 - 47) / (13 - 12))
Interpolated value = 47 + 0.4 * 5
Interpolated value = 47 + 2
Interpolated value = 49
62nd Percentile ≈ 49
45. Midrange:
The midrange is the average of the smallest and largest values in the data.
Midrange = (29 + 65) / 2
Midrange = 94 / 2
Midrange = 47
Calculate cumulative frequencies:
We'll add up the frequencies as we move from the first class interval to the last.
| Weight (in pounds) | No. of students (f) | Cumulative Frequency (cf) |
|--------------------|---------------------|--------------------------|
| 110-119 |1 |1 |
| 120-129 |4 |5 |
| 130-139 | 17 | 22 |
| 140-149 | 28 | 50 |
| 150-159 | 25 | 75 |
| 160-169 | 18 | 93 |
| 170-179 | 13 | 106 |
| 180-189 |6 | 112 |
| 190-199 |5 | 117 |
| 200-209 |2 | 119 |
| 210-219 |1 | 120 |
Find the positions:
- Fifth Decile (D5) = (5/10) * 120 = 60th value
- Second Quartile (Q2, Median) = (2/4) * 120 = 60th value
- 28th Percentile = (28/100) * 120 = 33.6th value (interpolate between 33rd and 34th values)
Locate the values:
Since the positions are whole numbers, we directly identify the corresponding values in the frequency
distribution table.
- Fifth Decile (D5) is the 60th value, which is in the class interval 150-159.
- Second Quartile (Q2, Median) is the 60th value, which is also in the class interval 150-159.
- To find the 28th percentile, we interpolate between the 33rd and 34th values.
Interpolated value = 140 + (33.6 - 28) * ((150 - 140) / (34 - 28))
Interpolated value = 140 + 5.6 * (10 / 6)
Interpolated value = 140 + 9.333...
Interpolated value ≈ 150
Answer
46. Fifth Decile (D5) ≈ 150 pounds
47. Second Quartile (Q2, Median) ≈ 150 pounds
48. 28th Percentile ≈ 150 pounds
