For the above data, a. Construct a frequency distribution table for grouped data b. Construct a relative frequency distribution table for grouped data c. Construct a histogram and a frequency polygon on the same axes. 6. The amount of money earned weekly by 40 people working part-time in factory, correct to the nearest RM10, is shown below. Form a frequency distribution having 6 classes for these data. 80 140 80 130 50 90 30 90 170 100 70 90 110 80 110 110 50 80 120 90 90 100 100 100 100 160 110 90 110 70 110 60 120 40 110 80 100 70 110 80

Hence, draw a histogram for the data above. 7. The data below are the marks obtained by 40 students in an examination. 62 54 38 33 80 66 56 60 57 71 85 47 50 71 52 76 48 68 55 49 79 41 61 65 64 58 66 59 52 43 65 48 a. Construct a frequency distribution table for the above data. b. Construct a histogram and polygon for the above data. 68 49 75 41 52 69 81 56

8. A market survey on a sample of 150 customers purchasing a brand of perfume reveals the following age distribution. Age (in years) 15 19 20 24 25 29 30 34 35 39 40 44 45 49 Total Draw a histogram to represent the above data. Number of customers 9 16 27 44 42 10 2 150
