Short Answer

Expert verified

The class width for each interval is equal to 10 actresses.

The midpoints are 24.5, 34.5, 44.5, 54.5, 64.5, 74.5, and 84.5.

The class boundaries are 19.5, 29.5, 39.5, 49.5, 59.5, 69.5, 79.5, and 89.5.

The total number of individuals included is 87.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Data are given on the ages of the best actresses when they won the Oscar.

02

Class width

The class width of an interval is computed by subtracting a lower class limit from the succeeding lower class limit.

Here, the lower class limit of the first class interval is equal to 20, and the lower class limit of the second class interval is equal to 30.

Classwidth=30-20=10

As it can be observed that all class intervals have equal width, the class width for each interval is equal to 1.

03

Class midpoint

The midpoint of a class interval has the following expression:

Midpoint=Lowerlimit+Upperlimit2

Thus, the midpoints of the class intervals are computed as shown below.

Class interval

Midpoint

20-29

Midpoint=20+292=24.5

30-39

lMidpoint=30+392=34.5

40-49

Midpoint=40+492=44.5

50-59

Midpoint=50+592=54.5

60-69

Midpoint=60+692=64.5

70-79

Midpoint=70+792=74.5

80-89

Midpoint=80+892=84.5

Thus, the midpoints are 24.5, 34.5, 44.5, 54.5, 64.5, 74.5, and 84.5.

04

Class boundaries

To compute the class boundaries, the value of the gap between each successive interval divided by 2 is subtracted from the lower limit and added to the upper limit of a class interval.

The gap is calculated as shown below.

Gap=2ndlowerclasslimit-1stupperclasslimit=30-29=1

The value equal to12=0.5is subtracted from the lower class limits and added to the upper-class limits of each interval. Thus, the class boundaries are obtained as shown below.

Class interval

Lower class boundaries

Upper class boundaries

20-29

20-0.5=19.5

29+0.5=29.5

30-39

30 - 0.5 = 29.5

39 + 0.5 = 39.5

40-49

40 - 0.5 = 39.5

49 + 0.5 = 49.5

50-59

50 - 0.5 = 49.5

59 + 0.5 = 59.5

60-69

60 - 0.5 = 59.5

69 + 0.5 = 69.5

70-79

70 - 0.5 = 69.5

79 + 0.5 = 79.5

80-89

80 - 0.5 = 79.5

89 + 0.5 = 89.5

Therefore, the class boundaries are 19.5, 29.5, 39.5, 49.5, 59.5, 69.5, 79.5, and 89.5.

05

Total number of individuals

The sum of all the frequencies gives the total number of individuals included in the given frequency distribution.

Totalfrequency=29+34+14+3+5+1+1=87

Therefore, the total number of individuals included in the given frequency distribution is equal to 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?

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.)

Sample Size What is the approximate number of quarters depicted in the three bars farthest to the left?

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

Births Natural births randomly selected from four hospitals in New York State occurred on the days of the week (in the order of Monday through Sunday) with these frequencies: 52, 66, 72, 57, 57, 43, 53. Does it appear that such births occur on the days of the week with equal frequency?

Normal Distributions. In Exercises 9 and 10, using a loose interpretation of the criteria for determining whether a frequency distribution is approximately a normal distribution, determine whether the given frequency distribution is approximately a normal distribution. Give a brief explanation.

Best Actors Refer to the frequency distribution from Exercise 6
