Complete the following frequency table from the data then construct a frequency histogram for the data (note: round the relative frequency to two decimal places).

 

Classes (age groups)

Frequency

Relative Frequency

20 - 29

 

 

30 - 39

 

 

40 - 49

 

 

50 - 59

 

 

60 - 69

 

 

70 - 79

 

 

 

 

  • What percentage of signers were under 50 years of age?

 

 

 

 

  • Next, sketch a relative frequency histogram of the age of the signers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Comment on the shape of the histogram (i.e. is it normally distributed, right-skewed, left-skewed)?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Construct a stem-and-leaf plot for the age of the signers, using the first digit as the stem and the second digit as the leaf:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Construct a dot plot of the age of the signers:
