  1. Is the data
    1. Continuous or discrete
    2. Quantitative or qualitative.
  • Nominal, ordinal, ratio or interval scaled?

 

  1. Determine the range of the data.
  2. Use Sturges Rule to determine k, the number of classes, also determine the class width and the appropriate class limits.
  3. Construct a frequency distribution for the data.
  4. Construct a histogram for the data. Interpret your histogram.
  5. Construct a frequency polygon and interpret it.
  6. Construct a less than ogive for the data.
  7. Construct a more than ogive for the data. From your graph what percentage of office blocks has available office space in excess of 175square metres?
  8. Plot the less than and more than ogives on the same axis and determine the median.
    1. What percentage of office blocks has less than 145 square metres floor space.
    2. What office space area is provided by the lower 70% of office blocks.
  • What % of office blocks provides more than 140 square metres of office space.
