with seven classes and a class interval of 30. Start the first class with a
lower limit of 300.
(c) How many home runs travelled a distance of 360 up to 390 feet?
(d) What percentage of the home runs travelled a distance of 360 up to 390
feet?

Q-2Mission Viejo, a city located in Southern California, was named the

safest city in California and the third-safest city in the nation
(CQPress.com, November 23, 2009). Matthew Edwards, a relocation
specialist for a real estate firm in Mission Viejo, often relays this piece of
information to clients unfamiliar with the many benefits that the city offers.
Recently, a client from Seattle, Washington, asked Matthew for a summary
of recent sales. The client is particularly interested in the availability of
houses in the $500,000 range. Table 2.1 shows the sale price for 36 single-
family houses in Mission Viejo during June 2010.

1 Find the range prices of house.
.
2 Comment on where house prices tend to cluster. Also find
. relative and percentage frequency.
3 Calculate appropriate percentages in order to compare
. house prices in Mission Viejo, California, to those in
Seattle, Washington.
