Question

The following list gives the ages of 50 factory workers. Construct a Grouped Frequency Distribution using 7 classes.

50 63 42 28 30

37 29 61 43 43

27 50 28 28 50

62 34 53 21 32

19 41 60 57 22

35 46 32 30 25

36 52 57 29 35

42 57 35 61 46

21 49 26 40 19

18 25 23 47 28

Range:

Fill in the table after creating the frequency distribution on paper. rf and crf are rounded to two decimal places ( Example: .15 not 0.15). Do not worry about the sum of the column being 1.0.

Explanation / Answer

Range = Maximum value - Minimum value = 63-18 = 45

So,

class width = 45/7 = 6.4286.

This is rounded to 7.

Class limits      Class boundaries        Midpoint                f                         cf                    rf           crf

18 - 24                17.5 - 24.5                      21                   7    7    7/50 = .14 .14

25 - 31                24.5 - 31.5                       28                 12                     19               12/50= .24     .38

32 - 38                31.5 - 38.5                       35   8    27    8/50= .16 .54

39 - 45 38.5 - 45.5    42    6    33    6/50 = .12    .66

46 - 52 45.5 - 52.5    49    8    41    8/50 = .16 .82

53 - 59 52.5 - 59.5    56    4    45    4/50 = .08    .90

60 - 66    59.5 - 66.5 63 5 50 5/50 = .10 1.00
