The midpoints are located in the middle of two lower limits:

45,55,65,75,85,95,105,115,125,135,145,155

As indicated below, add the above points to the graphs and connect them with a straight line.

Distribution of a variable.

We have drawn a smooth curve that represents a distribution,

a. Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.

b. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)

c . If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric, classify it as either right skewed or left skewed.

For instance, consider the grouped days-to-maturity data given in Table 2.10(b) on page 57.

From that table, we see that the cumulative frequency of investments with a maturity period of less than 50day is 4(3+1)and, therefore, the cumulative relative frequency is0.1(4/40).

Table 2.14shows all cumulative information for the days-to-maturity data.

Cumulative information for days-to-maturity data.

a. Round each observation to the nearest year and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of the rounded data.

b. Truncate each observation by dropping the decimal part, and then construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of the truncated data.

c. Compare the stem-and-leaf diagrams that you obtained in parts (a) and (b).

We have drawn a smooth curve that represents a distribution,

a. Identify the shape of the distirbution with regard to modality.

b. Identify the shape of the distribution with regard to symmetry (or non symmetry)

c . If the distribution is unimodal and non symmetric, classify it as either right skewed or left skewed.

As mentioned, for relative-frequency polygons, we label the horizontal axis with class marks in limit grouping and class midpoints in cut point grouping. How do you think the horizontal axis is labeled in single-value grouping.
