Question

A weight clinic recorded the weight lost (in pounds) by each client of a weight control clinic during the last year, and got the following data: 35, 26, 31, 17, 46, 30, 28, 21, 26, 34, 15, 27, 7, 18, 16, 57 Assume you created the frequency grouping in intervals of 10 starting at 1. What is the percentile in the next to highest group

Answer 1

Class interval ____, Frequency _ C/frequency

1 - 10 ____________ 1 _________ 1

11 - 20 ___________ 4 _________ 5

20 - 30 __________ 6 _________ 11

31 - 40 ___________3 _________ 14

41 - 50 ___________ 1 _________ 15

51 - 60 ___________ 1 _________ 16

Explanation:

Given the data :

35, 26, 31, 17, 46, 30, 28, 21, 26, 34, 15, 27, 7, 18, 16, 57

Class interval ____, Frequency _ C/frequency

1 - 10 ____________ 1 _________ 1

11 - 20 ___________ 4 _________ 5

20 - 30 __________ 6 _________ 11

31 - 40 ___________3 _________ 14

41 - 50 ___________ 1 _________ 15

51 - 60 ___________ 1 _________ 16

The next to highest frequency group has a frequency of 4 and the highest frequency of 6

Total frequency, n = (1 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 1 + 1) = 16
