- For the following scores, the smallest value is X=13 and the largest value is X=52. Place the scores in a grouped frequency distribution table. Use the steps to guide you. (3 pts)
Scores: 44, 19, 23, 17, 25, 47, 32, 26, 25, 30, 18, 24, 49, 51, 24, 13, 43, 27, 34, 16, 52, 18, 36, 25
Steps:
-
-
- Determine the range of scores:
highest score – lowest score - Determine the number of rows:
range +1 = highest score – lowest score + 1 - Use systematic trail-and-error to identify the width of the interval with the aim of having about 10 rows/class intervals:
number of rows divided by 2, 5, 10, or 20 à look for number close to 10 - Identify the lowest score in the data
- Construct the class interval by ensuring that the bottom of the class interval is a multiple of the width and the smallest class includes the lowest score in the data
- Construct the table:
- First column lists the class intervals from highest to lowest. The column heading is labeled X
- Beside each class interval indicate the number of individuals (frequency) located in that class interval. The column heading is labeled f.
- Determine the range of scores:
-
- A set of scores has been organized into the following stem and leaf display.
4|8
5|421
6|3824
7|592374
8|24316
9|275
