Short Answer

Expert verified

The class width for each interval is equal to 100.

The midpoints are 149.5, 249.5, 349.5, 449.5, and 549.5.

The class boundaries are 99.5, 199.5, 299.5, 399.5, 499.5, and 599.5.

The total number of individuals included is equal to 147.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

Data are given on the blood platelet counts of males.

02

Class width

The class width of an interval is computed by subtracting two consecutive lower class limits.

Here, the lower class limit of the first class interval is equal to 100, and the lower class limit of the second class interval is equal to 200.

Thus, the class width is as follows.

Classwidth=200-100=100

As it can be observed that all class intervals have equal width, the class width for each interval is equal to 100.

03

Class midpoint

The midpoint of a class interval is calculated using the following formula:

Midpoint=lowerlimit+upperlimit2

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

Class interval

Midpoint

100-199

Midpoint=100+1992=149.5

200-299

Midpoint=200+2992=249.5

300-399

Midpoint=300+3992=349.5

400-499

Midpoint=400+4992=449.5

500-599

Midpoint=500+5992=549.5

Thus, the midpoints are 149.5, 249.5, 349.5, 449.5, and 549.5.

04

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 to obtain the class boundaries.

The gap is calculated as shown below.

Gap=2ndlowerclasslimit-1stupperclasslimit=100-99=1

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

Class interval

Lower class boundaries

Upper class boundaries

100-199

100-0.5=99.5

199+0.5=199.5

200-299

200-0.5=199.5

299+0.5=299.5

300-399

300-0.5=299.5

399+0.5=399.5

400-499

400-0.5=399.5

499+0.5=499.5

500-599

500-0.5=499.5

599+0.5=599.5


Therefore, the class boundaries are 99.5, 199.5, 299.5, 399.5, 499.5, and 599.5.

05

Total number of individuals

The total number of individuals included in the given frequency distribution is equal to the sum of the frequencies of all classes. The total frequency is computed below.

Totalfrequency=25+92+28+0+2=147

Therefore, the total number of individuals included in the given frequency distribution is 147.

Pareto Charts. In Exercises 11 and 12 construct the Pareto chart. 1Journal Retractions In a study of retractions in biomedical journals, 436 were due to error, 201 were due to plagiarism, 888 were due to fraud, 291 were duplications of publications, and 287 had other causes (based on data from 鈥淢isconduct Accounts for the Majority of Retracted Scientific Publications,鈥 by Fang, Steen, Casadevall, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, Vol. 110, No. 3). Among such retractions, does misconduct (fraud, duplication, plagiarism) appear to be a major factor?

Linear Correlation Coefficient In Exercises 9鈥12, the linear correlation coefficient r is provided. Use Table 2-11 on page 71 to find the critical values of r. Based on a comparison of the linear correlation coefficient r and the critical values, what do you conclude about a linear correlation?

Using the data from Exercise 7 鈥淐ar Weight and Fuel Consumption,鈥 the linear correlation coefficient is r = -0.987.

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

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.
