Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
A histogram displays the following data: Class intervals 10-15, 15-25, 25-40, with frequencies 12, 24, and 18 respectively. Calculate the frequency density for each class interval.
[3 marks]
2.
The class intervals 5-10, 10-20, 20-35 have frequencies 8, 16, 14 respectively. Calculate the frequency densities and identify which class has the highest density.
[4 marks]
3.
A histogram shows data for class intervals 0-8, 8-20, 20-50 with frequencies 10, 15, 20. Calculate the frequency densities and determine which class has the smallest density.
[3 marks]
4.
A histogram has class intervals 0-4, 4-9, 9-15 with frequencies 5, 10, 15 respectively. Calculate the frequency densities and explain which class has the highest density and why.
[4 marks]
5.
Construct a histogram with class intervals 0-3, 3-8, 8-20, and corresponding frequencies 9, 21, 30. Calculate the frequency densities and plot the histogram on the grid provided.
[5 marks]
6.
A data set is represented with class intervals 10-20, 20-35, 35-50, with frequencies 20, 25, 15. Find the frequency densities and identify the class with the most uniform distribution of data.
[3 marks]
7.
A histogram has class intervals 0-6, 6-12, 12-24 with frequencies 18, 24, 12. Calculate the frequency densities and determine if the histogram suggests uniform or varying data density.
[3 marks]
8.
In a histogram, the class interval 20-60 has a frequency of 40. If the frequency density is 0.8, what is the class width? Show your calculations.
[3 marks]
9.
A histogram displays class intervals 0-10, 10-25, 25-50, with frequency densities 1.2, 1.0, 0.6 respectively. Calculate the corresponding frequencies for each class interval.
[4 marks]
10.
Identify and correct the mistake: A student calculates the frequency density for a class 5-15 with frequency 20 as 20/10=2. Is this correct? Explain your reasoning.
