Question

The data represents the daily rainfall​ (in inches) for one month. Construct a frequency distribution beginning with a lower class limit of and use a class width of . Does the frequency distribution appear to be roughly a normal​ distribution?

Answer 1

The frequency distribution does not appear to be normal.

Explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

S = {0.38 , 0 , 0.22 , 0.06 , 0 , 0 , 0.21 , 0 , 0.53 , 0.18 , 0 , 0 , 0.02 , 0 , 0 , 0.24 , 0 , 0 , 0.01 , 0 , 0 , 1.28 , 0.24 , 0 , 0.19 , 0.53 , 0 , 0, 0.24 , 0}

It is provided that the first lower class limit should be 0.00 and the class width should be 0.20.

The frequency distribution table is as follows:

Class Interval Count

0.00 - 0.19 21

0.20 - 0.39 6

0.40 - 0.59 2

0.60 - 0.79 0

0.80 - 0.99 0

1.00 - 1 . 19 0

1.20 - 1. 39 1

The frequency distribution does not appear to be normal. This is because the frequencies does not start and end at almost equivalent points and the mid-distribution does not consist of the highest frequency.

Thus, the frequency distribution does not appear to be normal.
