1. In a population of 7200 students, we want to estimate the number and
percentage of students based on their heights in cm, for this purpose a is taken
sample of 80 students and the following Distribution Table is prepared
Frequencies:

b) Graph a less than and greater than ogive with absolute frequencies and
accumulated relatives respectively.

Using the 'Less than' ogive graph for each case, respond:
c) How many students in the sample are shorter than 150 cm?
16 + 10 + 7 = 33 students measure less than 150cm
d) How many students in the sample are taller than 170 cm?
5 + 3 = 8 students measure more than 170cm
e) What percentage of the sample measures less than 165 cm?
11.25 + 30% + 20% + 12.5% + 8.75% = 82.5% of the students measure
less than 165cm
f) What percentage of the sample measures more than 140 cm?
The percentage that measures more than 140cm is 50%
Note: In the graphic analysis, use Ls with Hi% and Li with hi%.
Using the Mathematical or Analytical Method (interpolation) verify your
respuestas de c) hasta f).
g) How many students in the sample measure between 139 cm and 171 cm.?
Students who measure between 139cm and 171cm are 45 people.
h) How many students in the population measure between 131 cm and 163 cm?
The students who measure between 131cm and 163cm are 39 people.
i) How many students in the population measure between 142 cm and 152 cm?
The students who measure between 142cm and 152cm are 20 people.
