Step by step solution

01

Given information

Twenty-five randomly selected students were asked the number of movies they watched the previous week. The results are as follows.

02

Explanation of solution (Part a)

The histogram is a graphical representation of the frequency of data values that uses rectangles. There are two axes in it: one horizontal and one vertical. The data represents the horizontal axis, which is labelled. Frequency or relative frequency is labelled on the vertical axis.

03

Explanation of solution (Part b)

The ratio of the frequency of a specific data item to the sum of frequencies is known as the relative frequency in statistics. The relative frequencies are calculated using the following formula:

Relative Frequency =FrequencySum of frequencies

For instance, the relative frequency for the number of films 0 is :525=0.2

The cumulative relative frequency is the sum of the relative frequencies before it. To get the cumulative relative frequencies, multiply the current row's relative frequency by all preceding relative frequencies. The cumulative relative frequencies for the number of films 0 and 1 are, for example:

Cumulative Relative Frequency(0)=0.2

Cumulative Relative Frequency (1) localid="1649170366651" =0.2+0.36

=0.56.

David County has six high schools. Each school sent students to participate in a county-wide science competition. Table 2.41shows the percentage breakdown of competitors from each school, and the percentage of the entire student population of the county that goes to each school. Construct a bar graph that shows the population percentage of competitors from each school.

The University of California has two criteria used to set admission standards for freshmen to be admitted to a college in the UC system:

a. Students' GPAs and scores on standardized tests (SATs and ACTs) are entered into a formula that calculates an "admissions index" score. The admissions index score is used to set eligibility standards intended to meet the goal of admitting the top 12%of high school students in the state. In this context, what percentile does the top 12%represent?

b. Students whoseGPAs are at or above the 96th percentile of all students at their high school are eligible (called eligible in the local context), even if they are not in the top 12%of all students in the state. What percentage of students from each high school are "eligible in the local context"?
