In Exercises 2.60-2.71. we have presented some quantitative data sets and specified a grouping method for practicing the concepts. For each data set,

a. determine a frequency distribution

b. obtain a relative-frequency distribution.

c. construct a frequency histogram based on your result from part (a).

d. construct a relative-frequency histogram based on your result

from part (b).

Use single-value grouping.

Step by step solution

01

Part (a) Step 1. Given Information 

We are given a quantitative data set.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Frequency Distribution

The data consists of five numbers 0,1,2,3,4. So using single value grouping its frequency distribution is given as

NumberTallyFrequency
0|1
1|1

Part (b) Step 1. Relative frequency distribution

The relative frequency distribution for the given data is given as

NumberFrequencyRelative Frequency
01120=0.05
11120=0.05
24420=0.2

Part (c) Step 1. Frequency histogram

The frequency histogram for the frequency distribution can be given as

05

Part (d) Step 1. Relative frequency histogram

The relative-frequency histogram for the relative-frequency distribution can be given as

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.

University Patents. The number of patents a university receives is an indicator of the research level of the university. From a study titled Science and Engineering Indicators issued by the National Science Foundation, we found the number of U.S. patents awarded to a sample of 36private and public universities to be as follows.

Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram for these data with

a. one line per stem.

b. two lines per stem.

c. Which stem-and-leaf diagram do you find more useful? Why?

Detroit Tigers. From the Baseball Almanac website, we found the heights, in inches, of the players on the 2012 World Series runner-up Detroit Tigers baseball team.

Use the graph to answer the following questions. Note that cholesterol levels are always expressed as whole numbers.

a. Construct a stem-and-leaf diagram of these data with five lines per stem.

b. Why is it better to use five lines per stem here instead of one or two lines per stem?
