Terminology Consider the following graph types: histogram, relative-frequency graph, ogive. Match each type to the appropriate description:
(i) Shows cumulative frequency (or percent of data) falling at or below each upper class boundary in a frequency table
(ii) Shows number of data falling within each distinct class of a frequency table
(iii) Shows the relative frequency (or percent) of all data tailing within each class of a frequency table
(i)
The appropriate graph type to description..
Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The appropriate graph type to description is an Ogive graph.
Explanation of Solution
A cumulative frequency graph or Ogive is a line graph displaying the cumulative frequency of each class at its upper class boundary. The upper boundaries are marked on the horizontal axis, and the cumulative frequencies are marked on the vertical axis. The graph should start at (or just before) the lower boundary of the first class (where the cumulative frequency is zero), and end at the upper boundary of the last class. The graph should be increasing from left to right, and the points should be evenly spaced along the horizontal axis.
Hence, the graph type of description “Shows cumulative frequency (percent data) falling at or below upper-class boundary in a frequency table” is an Ogive graph.
(ii)
The appropriate graph type to description..
Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The appropriate graph type to description is histogram.
Explanation of Solution
A histogram is used to summarize discrete or continuous data. In other words, it provides a
Hence, the graph type of description “Shows number of data falling within each distinct class of a frequency table” is histogram.
(iii)
The appropriate graph type to description..
Answer to Problem 1CR
Solution: The appropriate graph type to description is relative-frequency graph.
Explanation of Solution
A relative-frequency graph is used to summarize discrete or continuous data. In other words, it provides a
Hence, the graph type of description “Shows relative frequency (or percent) all data falling within each class of a frequency table” is relative-frequency graph.

- Martinez Auto Supplies has retail stores located in eight cities in California. The price they charge for a particular product in each city are vary because of differing competitive conditions. For instance, the price they charge for a case of a popular brand of motor oil in each city follows. Also shown are the number of cases that Martinez Auto sold last quarter in each city. City Price ($) Sales (cases) Bakersfield 34.99 501 Los Angeles 38.99 1425 Modesto 36.00 294 Oakland 33.59 882 Sacramento 40.99 715 San Diego 38.59 1088 San Francisco 39.59 1644 San Jose 37.99 819 Compute the average sales price per case for this product during the last quarter?
