Q6 (1 Mark) Using the percentage frequency polygon, make a comparison of the price in the
three areas in terms of distribution, mean, and standard deviation.

Distribution: Price is distributed in 3 different areas.


Mean: Each area price line has its own mean which is unkown.
Standard Deviation: Each price line has different and unknown Standard Deviation.

Q7 (1 Mark) Calculate the central tendency (mean, median, and mode) and dispersion (standard
deviation, and range) for each of the three areas
Insert a table of the calculation result below
