    250 to less than 350 7
    350 to less than 450 3


    And the questions are :

    1)If a frequency polygon were to be plotted for the above table, what point(s) would be used on the x-axis to represent the 250 to less than 350 group?
    a)250 to 350
    b)300

    2)From the options below, which would be the most appropriate graph type to display the data in the table?
    a pie chart
    a bar chart
    a line graph
    a histogram

    3)Calculate the frequency density of the 200 to less than 250 group
    4) If a cumulative frequency curve (ogive) were to be plotted of the above data, what point(s) would be used on the x-axis to represent the 250 to less than 350 group?
    250 to 350
    300

    £135
    £145
    £155
    8) Which of these measures would best be used to describe the data?
    mode
    median
    mean
    range
    9)
    In the table above in which group would the median value be located?
    £120 to less than £125
    £125 to less than £150
    £150 to less than £200
    £200 to less than £250
    £250 to less than £300

    What is your attempt? Please, do show us what you tried. The first question itself is based on theory which you should know if you did the chapter in class.

    Lower Li Uper Li Frequency Midpoint(x) Fx Class Width Frequency Density Cumulative Frequency
    120 125 10 122.5 1225 5 2.0 10
    125 150 38 137.5 5225 25 1.5 48
    150 200 24 175 4200 50 0.5 72
    200 250 18 225 4050 50 0.4 90
    250 350 7 300 2100 100 0.1 97
    350 450 3 400 1200 100 0.0 100
    100 18000


    mean £180.00
    modal Class 120-125
    median 50.5


    This is what I done so far

    Well, you posted those questions without specifying anything, so my guess was that you have a problem with the whole number... :rolleyes:

    2) Right
    3) 0.4, okay, but to be more precise, 0.36

    If you have a specific problem, do say so. Otherwise, I'll be waiting for what you get for the remaining parts.
