Question 1 of 8

Shown are the ages of

$48$ people who belong to a tennis club. Organise the data into a grouped frequency distribution table. Use the class intervals displayed in the table.

$18$	$13$	$16$	$20$	$37$	$40$	$39$	$42$
$12$	$15$	$27$	$20$	$16$	$18$	$33$	$40$

Question 2 of 8

2. Question
The scores of $36$ students in a history quiz out of 50 are given. Organise the data into a grouped frequency distribution table and find the modal class.

$43$ $35$ $27$ $34$ $36$ $44$ $29$ $35$ $43$

$50$ $35$ $22$ $21$ $29$ $42$ $32$ $20$ $32$

A grouped frequency distribution table is used for larger data sets and uses classes with intervals to group the scores.

A modal class is the group of scores with the highest frequency.

Read across the data while placing a stroke in the Tally column for each corresponding score.

$43$ $35$ $27$ $34$ $36$ $44$ $29$ $35$ $43$

$50$ $35$ $22$ $21$ $29$ $42$ $32$ $20$ $32$

$31$ $41$ $37$ $30$ $39$ $38$ $40$ $39$ $23$

To check, count the total frequency and make sure it is equal to the number of given scores.

$\text(Total) =36$

From the given data, we know that $N=36$

Therefore, all scores have been accounted for.

Notice that the highest value in the Frequency column is $9$ and it corresponds to $31-35$ .

In other words, the class $31-35$ occurs the most frequently, and is therefore the modal class.

$\text(Modal Class)=31-35$

A frequency polygon is a line graph version of the frequency distribution table.

Create a cumulative frequency polygon by simply connecting the top-right corners of each bar using straight lines, as shown here.

The median is the middle value in an ordered set of data.

First, create a graph with the Class Centre $(c.c.)$ values on the bottom side and the Cumulative Frequency values on the left side.

Next, add bars to the graph corresponding to the cumulative frequency per class centre.

Class Class Centre $(c.c.)$ Cumulative Frequency

51-55 53 1

56-60 58 5

61-65 63 13

66-70 68 23

71-75 73 29

76-80 78 31

81-85 83 32

$\text(Total) =32$

Continue adding bars until all the scores are accounted for.

Next, find the middle value in the cumulative frequency axis (left side).

Since the highest value is $32$ , simply divide it by $2$ .

$32/2$ $=$ $16$

Trace a horizontal line from $16$ until it touches part of the polygon.

Notice that it touches the polygon across the bar for the class centre $68$ .

Hence, the median is the class $66-70$ .

$\text(Median Class)=66-70$
