Answer:
To find the class midpoint, we add the lower and upper limits of each class interval and divide by 2.
Class Interval | Frequency | Class Midpoint
0-under 2 | 218 | (0 + 2)/2 = 1
2-under 4 | 207 | (2 + 4)/2 = 3
4-under 6 | 56 | (4 + 6)/2 = 5
6-under 8 | 11 | (6 + 8)/2 = 7
8-under 10 | 8 | (8 + 10)/2 = 9
To find the relative frequency, we divide the frequency of each class by the total number of observations.
Class Interval | Frequency | Class Midpoint | Relative Frequency
0-under 2 | 218 | 1 | 218/500 = 0.436
2-under 4 | 207 | 3 | 207/500 = 0.414
4-under 6 | 56 | 5 | 56/500 = 0.112
6-under 8 | 11 | 7 | 11/500 = 0.022
8-under 10 | 8 | 9 | 8/500 = 0.016
To find the cumulative frequency, we add up the frequencies of all the classes up to and including the current class.
Class Interval | Frequency | Class Midpoint | Relative Frequency | Cumulative Frequency
0-under 2 | 218 | 1 | 0.436 | 218
2-under 4 | 207 | 3 | 0.414 | 425 (= 218 + 207)
4-under 6 | 56 | 5 | 0.112 | 481 (= 425 + 56)
6-under 8 | 11 | 7 | 0.022 | 492 (= 481 + 11)
8-under 10 | 8 | 9 | 0.016 | 500 (= 492 + 8)
Therefore, the class midpoints, relative frequencies, and cumulative frequencies for each class interval are as shown in the table above.
