Written Assignment Unit 2

Mr. Joshua Ajayi (Instructor)


July 3, 2024
The frequency distribution of how many pairs of sneakers 40 randomly chosen students own
is provided to us. First, let's figure out the sample standard deviation and mean.

Applying the mean formula:

\bar{x} = ∑Xf / n
\bar{x} = 151 / 40
\bar{x} = 3.775

X f Xf
1 2 2
2 5 10
3 8 24
4 12 48
5 12 60
6 0 0
7 1 7

N = 40 151

As a result, 3.775 is the average number of pairs of sneakers possessed.

Applying the sample standard deviation formula:

s = sqrt (∑fX^2) - (∑Xf)^2 / n) / (n - 1)

s = sqrt (593) - (151^2) / 40) / (40 - 1)


s = sqrt (3.419)
s = 1.848

X f Xf X^2 fX^2
1 2 2 1 2
2 5 10 4 20
3 8 24 9 72
4 12 48 16 192
5 12 60 25 300
6 0 0 36 0
7 1 7 49 7

N = 40 151 140 593

As a result, 1.848 is the sample standard deviation.


The Cumulative Relative Frequency Column and the Relative Frequency Column must then
be finished.

X f Relative Frequency Cumulative Relative


Frequency
1 2 0.05 0.05
2 5 0.125 0.175
3 8 0.2 0.375
4 12 0.3 0.675
5 12 0.3 0.975
6 0 0 0.975
7 1 0.025 1

N = 40

We can now determine the median and quartiles.

First quartile (Q1):


The value that divides the bottom 25% of the data from the remaining data is Q1. It is evident
from the cumulative relative frequency column that the 25th percentile falls between 2 and 3.
We can use the following calculation to get the precise value:

Q1 = L + ((n/4 - CF) / f) * w
Where it is:

• L is the interval's lower-class boundary that contains the 25th percentile.


• n is the total number of information points.
• CF is the cumulative frequency up to the 25th percentile-containing interval.
• f is the interval's frequency that contains the 25th percentile.
• w is the interval's width that contains the 25th percentile.

Applying the table's values:

Q1 = 2 + ((40/4 - 0.05) / 5) * 1
Q1 = 2.3

Consequently, 2.3 is the first quartile.

Median:
The figure that divides the lower 50% of the data from the upper 50% of the data is called the
median. The 50th percentile lies between 4 and 5, as may be seen by using the cumulative
relative frequency column. We can use the following calculation to get the precise value:

Median = L + ((n/2 - CF) / f) * w


Where it is:
• L is the interval's lower class border, which contains the 50th percentile.
• n is the total number of information points.
• CF is the cumulative frequency up to the 50th percentile interval.
• f is the interval's frequency that contains the 50th percentile.
• w is the interval's width that contains the 50th percentile.
Applying the table's values:

Median = 4 + ((40/2 - 0.375) / 12) * 1


Median = 4.5

Thus, 4.5 is the median.

Third quartile (Q3):


The value that divides the bottom 75% of the data from the remaining data is Q3. The 75th
percentile lies between 4 and 5, as can be seen by using the cumulative relative frequency
column. We can use the following calculation to get the precise value:

Q3 = L + ((3n/4 - CF) / f) * w
Where it is:
• L is the interval's lower class border, which contains the 75th percentile.
• n is the total number of information points.
• CF is the cumulative frequency up to the 75th percentile interval.
• f is the interval's frequency that contains the 75th percentile.
• w is the interval's width that contains the 75th percentile.

Applying the table's values:

Q3 = 4 + ((3*40/4 - 0.675) / 12) * 1


Q3 = 5

Consequently, 5 is the third quartile.

We must ascertain the cumulative relative frequency for the number five in order to
determine the proportion of students who possessed at least five pairs:

Cumulative Relative Frequency for 5 = 0.975

Consequently, 97.5% of the pupils had a minimum of five pairs.
