Part(b) Step 1. Finding the relative frequency distribution. 

The relative frequency distribution is given by,

Relative frequency=FrequencyNumber of observations

The relative frequency distribution is as follows,

ClassFrequencyRelative Frequency
A1120=0.05
B3320=0.15
C7720=0.35
D7720=0.35

Cholesterol Levels. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average cholesterol level for children between 4 and 19 years of age is 165mg /dl. A pediatrician who tested the cholesterol levels of several young patients was alarmed to find that many had levels higher than 200mg / dL. The following relative frequency histogram shows the readings for some patients who had high cholesterol levels.

The Beatles. In the article, "Length of The Beatles" Songs" (Chance, Vol. 25, No, 1, Pp. 30-33), T. Koyama discusses aspects and interpretations of the lengths of songs by The Beatles. Data on the length, in seconds, of 229 Beatles songs are presented on the WeissStats site.

a. use the technology of your choice to identify the modality and symmetry (or non-symmetry) of the distribution of the data set.

b. if unimodal, classify the distribution as symmetric right-skewed. or left-skewed.

Standard Normal Distribution. One of the most important distributions in statistics is the standard normal distribution. We discuss this distribution in detail in Chapter 6.

a. Use the technology of your choice to generate a sample of 3000 observations from a variable that has the standard normal distribution.

b. Use the technology of your choice to get a relative-frequency histogram for the 3000 observations that you obtained in part (a).

c. Based on the histogram you obtained in part (b), what specific shape does the standard normal distribution have? Explain your reasoning.

Clocking the Cheetah. Refer to the speed data given in Exercise 2.89.

a. Construct a table similar to Table 2.14for the data, based on the classes specified in Exercise 2.89. Interpret your results.

b. Construct an ogive for the data.
