EXERCISE -3
1. Each state collects information on every birth that occurs within its border. The following data gives
the 2008 birth rates(number of births per 1000 people) for all 56 countries in the state of Montana.
10.0,22.2,15.8,12.2,7.7,3.1,14.5,7.8,13.6,8.8,10.9,8.9,14.7,9.6,14.2,14.9,18.3,22.8,5.4,5.6,19.6,8.2,9.9,
14.7,13.7,10.3,9.7,9.8,8.6,9.4,14.1,12.3,10.5,11.4,2.2,9.8,10.9,4.6,6.6,8.5,10.2,14.4,20.4,18.5,10.8,6.5,1
1.6,12.1,10.5,9.3,8.1,7.4,10.2,9.7,5.6,14.5
1. Construct a frequency distribution table using exclusive classes.
2. Calculate relative and percentage frequency for each class.
3. Construct a histogram and a polygon for the birth rate percentage distribution.

2. Each state Birth rate per 1000 people
collects
information on every birth that occurs within its border. The following data gives the 2008 birth
rates(number of births per 1000 people) for all 56 countries in the state of Montana.
10.0,22.2,15.8,12.2,7.7,3.1,14.5,7.8,13.6,8.8,10.9,8.9,14.7,9.6,14.2,14.9,18.3,22.8,5.4,5.6,19.6,8.2,9.9,
14.7,13.7,10.3,9.7,9.8,8.6,9.4,14.1,12.3,10.5,11.4,2.2,9.8,10.9,4.6,6.6,8.5,10.2,14.4,20.4,18.5,10.8,6.5,1
1.6,12.1,10.5,9.3,8.1,7.4,10.2,9.7,5.6,14.5
Find
1. AM., Median and standard deviation for the given frequency table
2. Actual AM. , Median and standard deviation from the raw data.
3. Percentage error for AM. ,Median and standard deviation.

8.0-11.0 23
11.0-14.0 7
14.0-17.0 9
17.0-20.0 3
20.0-23.0 3

3. The national highway traffic safety administration collects information on the fatal accidents that
occur on roads in US. Following are the number of fatal motorcycle accidents that occurred in each of
South Carolina’s 46 countries during the year 2009.
3,28,3,35,3,7,13,38,6,44,11,14,12,18,,17,17,6,20,3,7,29,17,51,12,5,60,5,10,23,12,18,17,21,14,34,3,12,
8,5,11,29,3,30,23,5,8
1. Construct a frequency distribution table using inclusive classes.
2. Calculate relative and percentage frequency for each class.
3. Construct a histogram and a polygon for percentage of each class.
4. What percentage of countries had between 21 and 40 fatal motorcycle accidents during 2009.
5. Prepare cumulative frequency , cumulative relative frequency and percentage cumulative percentage
distribution.
6. Prepare a stem leaf display. Arrange the leaves for each stem in increasing order.
7. Create a dot plot for these data and point out any cluster and outliers.
SOLUTION:-
Frequency , Cumulative frequency, percent and percent cumulative frequency distribution
