(iv) The sample variance is
a- 19 b- 25 c- 3.74 d- 14 e- non of these
Ex 3:
Given below are the number of beds for a sample of Egypt hospitals :
8 9 5 5 7 6 6 4 5 5 5 11 4 3 6 10 6
11 5 12 8 4 11 6 6 8 10 10 7 11 14 6 5 7
Consider the class intervals:
3-5 , 6-8 , 9- 11 , 12-14
(i) The sample size n is:
a- 4 b- 8 c- 27 d- 34
(ii) The variable of interest is:
a- Number of beds
b- Number of hospitals
c- Number of samples
d- Non of the above
(iii) The type of variable is:
a- Qualitative b- nominal
c-quantitative d- non of the above
(iv) The frequency of the first class interval 3-5 is:
a- 6 b- 11 c- 9 d- 13
(v) The relative frequency of the first interval 3-5 is:
a- 0.4824 b- 0.3235 c- 0.2765 d- 0.5647
(vi) The mid point of the first class interval 3-5 is:
a- 3.5 b- 4.5 c- 4 d- 5
Ex 4: Suppose the number of children was recorded for each of 25 families, obtaining
the following data:
2, 4, 1, 0, 1, 3, 0, 4, 2, 6, 0 , 0, 2,
3, 1, 5, 4, 0, 3, 1, 2, 5, 3, 4, 1.
(i) Construct a frequency table and graph.
(ii) Find the sample mean , mode and median .
Answer
i) frequency table
Class Frequency Relative frequency
0 5 5/25 =0.2
1 5 5/25 =0.2
2 4 4/25 =0.16
3 4 4/25 =0.16
4 4 4/25 =0.16
5 2 2/25 =0.08
6 1 1/25 =0.04
sum 25

mode : 0 and 1
median : order 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 1
median = 2
