Question

he data represents the daily rainfall​ (in inches) for one month. Construct a frequency distribution beginning with a lower class limit of 0.000.00 and use a class width of 0.200.20. Does the frequency distribution appear to be roughly a normal​ distribution? 0.310.31 0 0 0 0.190.19 0 0.150.15 0 0.010.01 0.190.19 0.530.53 0 0

Answer 1

It is not normally distributed as it has it main concentration in only one side.

Explanation:

So, we are given that the class width is equal to 0.2. Thus we will have that the first class is 0.00 - 0.20, second class is 0.20 - 0.40 and so on(that is 0.2 difference).

So, let us begin the groupings into their different classes, shall we?

Data given:

0.31 0.31 0 0 0 0.19 0.19 0 0.150.15 0 0.01 0.01 0.19 0.19 0.53 0.53 0 0.

(1). 0.00 - 0.20: there are 15 values that falls into this category. That is 0 0 0 0.19 0.19 0 0.15 0.15 0 0.01 0.01 0.19 0.19 0 0.

(2). 0.20 - 0.40: there are 2 values that falls into this category. That is 0.31 0.31

(3). 0.4 - 0.6 : there are 2 values that falls into this category.

(4). 0.6 - 0.8: there 0 values that falls into this category. That is 0.53 0.53.

Class interval frequency.

0.00 - 0.20. 15.

0.20 - 0.40. 2.

0.4 - 0.6. 2.
