Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Given the class intervals 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, find the midpoints for each interval.
[2 marks]
2.
Plot the midpoints of the class intervals 0-10, 10-20, 20-30 on the grid above.
[3 marks]
3.
A data set has class intervals 5-15, 15-25, 25-35. What are the midpoints?
[2 marks]
4.
Explain why midpoints are used when constructing a frequency polygon.
[3 marks]
5.
Construct a frequency polygon by plotting midpoints for the intervals 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, with frequencies 4, 7, 3. Show the points on the grid.
[4 marks]
6.
Given the following class intervals and frequencies: 0-10 (3), 10-20 (6), 20-30 (2). Calculate and plot the midpoints.
[3 marks]
7.
A chart shows class intervals 0-8, 8-16, 16-24. If the midpoints are plotted correctly, what are their coordinates assuming the frequencies are 5, 8, 4?
[3 marks]
8.
Identify the error in the following plotting: midpoints at 5, 15, 25 are plotted at heights 4, 7, 3, but the midpoint 15 is plotted at height 25.
[3 marks]
9.
Using the class intervals 2-12, 12-22, 22-32, with frequencies 3, 5, 2, compute midpoints and describe how you would plot them.
[3 marks]
10.
Challenge: Given class intervals 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, with frequencies 2, 4, 6, calculate midpoints and plot them. Then, draw the frequency polygon connecting these points.
