Task 1

The document provides information for Assignment 1, including the names and student IDs of three students taking the course. It also includes data on the number of calls for roadside service received each day in December 2003, with values ranging from 28 to 217. It asks students to analyze the data and construct a frequency distribution table with class intervals of 40 and at least 5 classes to include all data values. References to online resources on frequency distribution tables are also provided.

Part 2 (A)

The number of calls from motorists per day for roadside service was recorded for the month of
December 2003. The results were as follows:

28 122 217 130 120 86 80 90 120 140

70 40 145 187 113 90 68 174 194 170

100 75 104 97 75 123 100 82 109 120

81

SOLUTION
STEP 1 RANGE = LOWEST VALUE – HIGHEST VALUE
Smallest data value = 28

Highest data value = 217

Highest data – lowest value

= 217 – 28 = 189

STEP 2 NUMBER OF CLASS = 1 + 3.3 Log (n)


1+ 3.3 log (31) = 5.92

=6

STEP 3 CLASS SIZE = RANGE


NUMBER OF CLASS

= 189 = 31.9
5.92

Let the width of the class interval be 40

Number of the class intervals = 189 = 4.7 = 5 (Round up to the next integer)
40

There are at least 5 class intervals. this is reasonable for the given data.
b)
State the population and sample statement from the case study ( 4 marks)

Population
- The number of calls from motorists per day for roadside service was recorded for the month of
December 2003.

Sample
- Highest number of calls from motorists one day 217

c)
State FOUR (4) variables you can find from the case study and explain the details about the variables.

TWO (2) qualitative variables


- Month of December
- Roadside service
These two are qualitative variable because it is take on values that are names or tables. Example the
month of December and about roadside service.

TWO (2) quantitative variables


- Motorists
- Number of calls
These two are qualitative variable because it represents a measurable quantity that is numeric.
Example there are highest number of calls from motorists one day 217.
d)
The size of each group is 40. So, the groups will start at 0, 40, 80, 120, 160 and 200 to include all of
the data. The fact is we need 6 groups (1 more than we first thought).
