Question

The number of deaths in each county in Maine were recorded by gender in 1994. A frequency

table for the female death counts (with 7 non-overlapping intervals) and a boxplot of the

death counts by gender are given below.

(a) What is the median death count of males?

(b) Based on the boxplots, what is the approximate IQR of female death counts? (100, 150,

300, 400 or 600?)

than, or approximately the same as the median death counts based on the boxplots?

(d) Using the table alone, how would you nd what interval does the median

female death count fall in?

Death Counts Cumulative (female Frequency frequency 100-199 200-299 300-399 500-599 600-699 700-799 > 1000 6 6 8 10 13 14 15 16 8

a) Median death counts of the male = 300

b)approximate IQR for female = 500-100=400

c) the mean death counts for males and females are greater than the median death counts based on the boxplots.

the median female death count fall in the 3rd interval
