Discuss the below:

Q1. The masses of 50 similar castings are measured correct to the nearest 0.1 kg, and the results are shown below.

8.1 7.7 7.4 8.6 7.8 8.1 8.6 8.0 7.3 9.0

9.0 7.3 8.5 7.7 8.3 7.9 7.5 8.1 7.1 7.8

9.1 7.6 8.2 8.4 8.5 9.0 7.8 7.6 8.4 7.7

8.2 9.0 7.2 8.3 7.4 8.1 8.3 8,5 8.7 7.9
7.5 8.9 7.7 7.1 8.2 9.1 7.1 8.8 8.0 8.8

(a) From these results reproduce and fill out the table below

Class Class mid-point (x) Frequency(f) f.x

7.1 to 7.3

7.4 to 7.6

7.7 to 7.9

8.Oto8.2

8.3 to 8.5

8.6 to 8.8

8.9 to 9.1

(b) Draw the frequency polygon for the data.

(c) Draw the histogram for the data.
(d) Calculate:

(1) the mean (ii) the mode (iii) the median

All calculations must be shown and the graphs must be hand drawn.
