Chapter 10.2, Problem 21PFA

To determine

To list miles in order from most frequent to least frequent.

Answer to Problem 21PFA

The order is $10,3,4,6,2,5,1,7,8,9$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Graph of data $10,3,4,6,2,5,1,7,8,9$

Reading the graph,

One dot represents one member of the track team. On calculating the number of dots at each mile,

Number of dots at 1 mile= 1

Number of dots at 2 miles= 3

Number of dots at 3 miles = 6

Number of dots at 4 miles = 5

Number of dots at 5 miles = 2

Number of dots at 6 miles = 4

Number of dots at 7 miles = 1

Number of dots at 8 miles = 0

Number of dots at 9 miles = 0

Number of dots at 10 miles = 10

The highest number of dots represents the most frequent and vice versa.

Hence, comparing the dots and the miles the order of frequency is from most frequent to least frequent is,

  $10,3,4,6,2,5,1,7,8,9$
