1. A test administered to a bio statistics class of 90 nursing students resulted in the following scores.

36 50 57 35 77 66 65 45 67 94
55 74 80 50 47 46 40 12 66 80
59 31 67 87 42 86 50 61 42 48
36 72 53 54 65 55 58 32 50 63
32 47 66 42 47 32 17 52 54 30
68 53 40 41 90 77 14 46 24 38
23 29 72 79 56 56 20 50 31 66
44 44 29 57 77 40 53 60 84 45

A. Arrange the scores in an array and determine the range.

12, 14, 16, 17, 20, 23, 24, 25, 29, 30, 31, 32, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 41, 42, 44, 45, 46, 47, 50, 52, 54, 55,
57, 58, 59, 60, 65, 66, 67, 68, 72, 77, 80, 84, 86, 90, 94

Range = 82

B. Construct a frequency distribution selecting an appropriate class interval with the lower limit of the
first class equals to the lowest score. Use a multiple of 10 class.
Class Count Percentage
12-26 9 10
27-41 19 21.1
42-56 29 32.2
57-71 18 20
72-86 12 13.3
87-101 3 3.3
Total 90 99.9

C. Construct a histogram and a frequency polygon.

D. Describe the shape of the histogram.

- it is shown that the distribution is normal in the data and the curve is a bell curve

E. Construct a cumulative frequency distribution, a relative cumulative frequency distribution, and a

percentage cumulative distribution.

F. Draw an Ogive of the cumulative frequency distribution and the percentage cumulative distribution
The Ogive Graph - Cumulative Frequency Polygon
G. Does the data appear to be screwed? If yes, is it positive or negative? Why?
- base from what I see, the data is not screwed
