A frequency table is a table with the frequency of each actual value in the data set.
Approach:
From the given table the number of students with a score of 10 is 1, so the frequency of score 10 is 1, similarly the number of students with a score of 40 is 1, so the frequency of score 40 is 1 similarly frequencies for rest of scores can be computed.
The frequency table for the Chem 103 test is given by,
Score | Frequency |
10 | 1 |
40 | 1 |
50 | 3 |
60 | 7 |
70 | 6 |
80 | 5 |
100 | 2 |

A bar graph is a graph with bars (column) representing each of the actual values in the data set. The height of each column represents the frequency of the value in the data set.
Approach:
From the given table the number of students with a score of 0 is 0, so the frequency of score 0 is 0, similarly the number of students with a score of 10 is 1, so the frequency of score 10 is 1 similarly frequencies for rest of scores can be computed.
The frequency table for the Chem 103 test is given by,
Score | Frequency |
0 | 0 |
10 | 1 |
20 | 0 |
30 | 0 |
40 | 1 |
50 | 3 |
60 | 7 |
70 | 6 |
80 | 5 |
90 | 0 |
100 | 2 |
Place the scores along horizontal axis and the frequencies along vertical axis to construct bar graph. The bar graph of the frequency table is given below.

The cans are labeled to indicate that the contents are 20 oz of soda. Use the sign test and 0.05 significance level to test the claim that cans of this soda are filled so that the median amount is 20 oz. If the median is not 20 oz, are consumers being cheated?
