Chapter 2: Q22 (page 50)

Cumulative Frequency Distributions. In Exercises 21 and 22, construct the cumulative frequency distribution that corresponds to the frequency distribution in the exercise indicated.

Exercise 6 (Age of Best Actor When Oscar Was Won)

Short Answer

Expert verified

The cumulative frequency distribution is constructed as follows:

Age (in years)

Cumulative Frequency

Less than 30

1

Less than 40

29

Less than 50

65

Less than 60

80

Less than 70

86

Less than 80

87

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The grouped frequency distribution of the ages (in years) of the best actors when the Oscar was won is given.

02

Define cumulative frequency

Thecumulative frequency distribution is obtained by adding the frequencies of successive classes. It represents the sum of all frequencies of a class interval equal to and less than it.

03

Calculation

The table below shows the frequencies of ages (in years) of the best actor when Oscar was won:

Age (in years)

Frequency

20-29

1

30-39

28

40-49

36

50-59

15

60-69

6

70-79

1

To construct the cumulative frequency distribution, the first class interval should be changed to less than the lower limit of the second class interval; the second class interval should be changed to less than the lower limit of the third class interval, and so on.

Also, the cumulative frequency for each class is obtained by adding the frequencies of successive classes.

The cumulative frequencies are obtained as shown below:

Age (in years)

Frequency

Cumulative Frequency

Less than 30

1

1

Less than 40

28

28 + 1 = 29

Less than 50

36

36 + 29 = 65

Less than 60

15

15 + 65 = 80

Less than 70

6

6 + 80 = 86

Less than 80

1

1 + 86 = 87

More Heights The population of heights of adult males is normally distributed. If we obtain a voluntary response sample of 5000 of those heights, will a histogram of the sample heights be bell-shaped?

Categorical Data. In Exercises 23 and 24, use the given categorical data to construct the relative frequency distribution.

Clinical Trial When XELJANZ (tofacitinib) was administered as part of a clinical trial for this rheumatoid arthritis treatment, 1336 subjects were given 5 mg doses of the drug, and here are the numbers of adverse reactions: 57 had headaches, 21 had hypertension, 60 had upper respiratory tract infections, 51 had nasopharyngitis, and 53 had diarrhoea. Does any one of these adverse reactions appear to be much more common than the others? (Hint: Find the relative frequencies using only the adverse reactions, not the total number of treated subjects.)

Scatterplot. In Exercises 5鈥�8, use the sample data to construct a scatterplot. Use the first variable for the x-axis. Based on the scatterplot, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?

Heights of Fathers and Sons The table lists heights (in.) of fathers and the heights (in.) of their first sons (from Francis Galton).

Interpreting a Histogram. In Exercises 5鈥�8, answer the questions by referring to the following Minitab-generated histogram, which depicts the weights (grams) of all quarters listed in Data Set 29 鈥淐oin Weights鈥� in Appendix B. (Grams are actually units of mass and the values shown on the horizontal scale are rounded.)

Class Width and Class Limits Give the approximate values of the class width, and the lower and upper class limits of the class depicted in the bar farthest to the left.

Blood Platelet Counts If we collect a sample of blood platelet counts much larger than the sample included with Exercise 3, and if our sample includes a single outlier, how will that outlier appear in a histogram?
