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.)

Relative Frequency Histogram How would the shape of the histogram change if the vertical scale uses relative frequencies expressed in percentages instead of the actual frequency counts as shown here?

Short Answer

Expert verified

There would be no change in the shape of the histogram if relative frequencies are plotted instead of frequencies.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A histogram is plotted for the weights of a set of quarters.

02

Interpretation

The relative frequencies are frequencies of class intervals expressed in percentages.

If the relative frequencies are plotted instead of the frequencies, the shape of the histogram would remain the same.

However, the points on the vertical scale would change the lengths of the bars that are proportional to each other, whether the frequencies or the relative frequencies are plotted.

Therefore, the shape of the histogram will not change.

Distribution of Wealth In recent years, there has been much discussion about the distribution of wealth of adults in the United States. If you plan to conduct original research by somehow obtaining the amounts of wealth of 3000 randomly selected adults, what graph would be best for illustrating the distribution of wealth?

McDonald鈥檚 dinner service times refers to the accompanying frequency distribution. What problem would be created by using classes of 60-120, 120-180, . . ., 300-360?

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)

In Exercises 5鈥�8, identify the class width, class midpoints, and class boundaries for the given frequency distribution. Also identify the number of individuals included in the summary. The frequency distributions are based on real data from Appendix B.
