Question

Consider the following statistical series number of children per household:1) Establish a table with the modalities, numbers, absolute and relative frequencies2)Represent the distribution by a stick diagram from the ni (numbers), then the fi(fréquency)

Answer 1

1) The values to consider to make the table are the number of children.

The frequencies are the number of times each value occurs.

To find the relative frequencies, we have to divide each frequency by the total amount of households surveyed.

value frequency relative frequency

0 30 0.1 = 30/300

1 45 0.15= 45/300

2 15 0.05 = 15/300

3 60 0.2 = 60/300

4 90 0.3 = 90/300

5 60 0.2 = 60/300

total = 300

2) The stick diagram is:
