a.
Calculate the class width for the data on count of three-syllable words in advertising copy of magazine advertisements.
a.
Answer to Problem 20P
The class width is calculated as 6.
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
From the given data set, the largest data point is 43 and the smallest data point is 0.
Class Width:
The class width is calculated as follows:
b.
Create a table for frequency distribution with class limits, class boundaries, midpoints, frequencies, relative frequencies, and cumulative frequencies.
b.
Answer to Problem 20P
The class limits for a frequency table with 8 classes using class width 6 are 0-5, 6-11, 12-17, 18-23, 24-29, 30-35, 36-41, and 42-47.
Explanation of Solution
Class limits:
Class limits are the maximum and minimum values in the class interval
Class Boundaries:
A class boundary is the midpoint between the upper limit of one class and the lower limit of the next class where the upper limit of the preceding class interval and the lower limit of the next class interval will be equal. The upper class boundary is calculated by adding 0.5 to the upper class limit and the lower class boundary is calculated by subtracting 0.5 from the lower class limit.
Midpoint:
The midpoint is calculated as given below:
Frequency:
Frequency is the number of data points that fall under each class.
Cumulative frequency:
Cumulative frequency is calculated by adding each frequency to the sum of preceding frequencies.
Relative Frequency:
Relative frequency is the ratio of frequency by the total number of data values.
The class width is 6. Hence, the lower class limit for the second class 6 is calculated by adding 6 to 0. Following this pattern, all the lower class limits are established. Then, the upper class limits are calculated.
The frequency distribution table is given below:
| Class Limits | Class Boundaries | Midpoints | Frequency | Relative Frequency | Cumulative Frequency |
| 0-5 | 0.5-5.5 |
2.5 | 13 | 13 | |
| 6-11 | 5.5-11.5 | 8.5 | 15 | 28 (=15+13) | |
| 12-17 | 11.5-17.5 | 14.5 | 11 | 39 (=11+28) | |
| 18-23 | 17.5-23.5 | 20.5 | 3 | 42 (=3+39) | |
| 24-29 | 23.5-29.5 | 26.5 | 6 | 48 (=6+42) | |
| 30-35 | 29.5-35.5 | 32.5 | 4 | 52 (=4+48) | |
| 36-41 | 35.5-41.5 | 38.5 | 2 | 54 (=2+52) | |
| 42-47 | 41.5-47.5 | 44.5 | 1 | 55 (=1+54) |
