Question

For the following scores:a. construct a frequency distribution table.b. sketch a histogram of the frequency distribution.5, 4, 3, 5, 4, 2, 4, 15, 4, 6, 1, 4, 5, 2, 3

Answer 1

Given the data set:

5, 4, 3, 5, 4, 2, 4, 1, 5, 4, 6, 1, 4, 5, 2, 3

Using the given data set, let's answer the following questions:

• (a). Construct a frequency distribution table.

Let's first arrange the terms in ascending order:

1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6

Here, we can have the following:

1 ==> Occurs twice

2 ==> Occurs twice

3 ==> Occurs twice

4 ==> Occurs 5 times

5 ==> Occurs 4 times

6 ==> Occurs once.

Therefore, for the frequency distribution table, we are to use the number of times each data occur (this is the frequency).

We have the table below:

• Part b.

Let's sketch a histogram of the frequency distribution.

• We have the histogram of the frequency distribution below:
