Оглавление

1 Prepare a pie chart and bar chart for the data in Problem 2 of Section 2.3.

2 Prepare a pie chart and bar chart for the data in Problem 3 of Section 2.3 and comment on the cars the senior citizens like to drive.

3 Prepare a line graph for the data in Problem 5 of Section 2.3 and state whether these data show any patterns. Read the data columnwise.

4 Use the data in Problem 6 of Section 2.3 to do the following:Construct a frequency histogram for these data.Construct a relative frequency histogram for these data.Construct a frequency polygon for these data.Construct an ogive curve for these data.

5 Construct two stem‐and‐leaf diagrams for the data in Problem 4 of Section 2.3, using increments of 10 and 5, and comment on which diagram is more informative.

6 Construct a stem‐and‐leaf diagram for the data in Problem 6 of Section 2.3. Then, reconstruct the stem‐and‐leaf diagram you just made by dividing each stem into two stems and comment on which diagram is more informative.

7 A manufacturing company is very training oriented. Every month the company sends some of its engineers for six‐sigma training. The following data give the number of engineers who were sent for six‐sigma training during the past 30 months:182016301416222416141619182423281812181517212225272319182026Using technology, prepare a complete frequency distribution table for these data.

8 A manufacturer of men's shirts is interested in finding the percentage of cotton in fabric used for shirts that are in greater demand. In order to achieve her goal, she took a random sample of 30 men who bought shirts from a targeted market. The following data shows the cotton content of shirts bought by these men (some men bought more than one shirt, so that here ):35256535503540506555255565352535455565553545354520354045356535503530356535253520356535303565353025356535653520352535303565356535303530653530352035653555353035653565353035653535Prepare a single‐valued frequency distribution table for these data.Prepare a pie chart for these data and comment on the cotton contents in these shirts.

10 The following data give the number of parts that do not meet certain specifications in 50 consecutive batches manufactured in a given plant of a company:1619222527183630202429403031343621252428263024161921302420222432271824201733352932363928261718252729Construct a frequency histogram and a frequency polygon for these data.

11 A manufacturer of a part is interested in finding the life span of the part. A random sample of 30 parts gave the following life spans (in months):232530323642282421434648393034352421165425343723242826192737Construct a relative frequency histogram and a cumulative frequency histogram for these data. Comment on the life span of the part in question.

12 The following data give the number of accidents per week in a manufacturing plant during a period of 25 weeks:0412342103402132420535014Construct a single‐valued frequency distribution table for these data.Construct a frequency histogram for these data.During how many weeks was the number of accidents less than 2?During how many weeks was the number of accidents at least 3?What is the relative frequency of 0 accidents?

13 Compressive strengths were measured on 60 samples of a new metal that a car manufacturing company is considering for use in bumpers with better shock‐absorbent properties. The data are shown below:59.758.359.061.558.763.868.265.663.562.459.463.264.560.060.561.568.566.661.358.559.261.360.460.662.163.564.467.367.964.265.469.367.364.562.371.760.760.266.768.564.265.167.059.561.763.167.568.569.261.562.368.466.565.769.362.568.060.562.360.5Prepare a complete frequency distribution table.Construct a frequency histogram.Construct a relative frequency histogram.Construct a frequency and relative frequency polygon.Construct a cumulative frequency histogram and then draw the ogive curve for these data.
