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 limit grouping with a first class of 0-9and a class width of 10.

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

Using limit grouping with a first class of 0-9and a class width of 10, the frequency distribution can be given as

ClassTallyFrequency
0-9|||3
10-19|||3
20-29|||||5
30-39||||||||8
40-49|1
03

Part (b) Step 1. Relative frequency distribution

The relative frequency distribution for the given data is given as

ClassFrequencyRelative Frequency
0-93320=0.15
10-193320=0.15
20-295520=0.25
30-398820=0.4
40-491120=0.05

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

Body Temperature. A study by researchers at the University of Maryland addressed the question of whether the mean body temperature of humans is 98.6~F. The results of the study by P. Mackowiak et al. appeared in the article " A Critical Appraisal of 98.6F, the Upper Limit of the Normal Body Temperature, and Other Legacies of Carl Reinhold August Wunderlich" (Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 268, pp. 1578-1580). Among other data, the researchers obtained the body temperatures of 93 healthy humans, as provided on the Weists state site.
