1. To use the rules of statistics, the rules of counting, and the properties of probability in
problem solving.
BASIC COMPETENCY:

of measurement, altogether with their interpretations.
In this chapter, you will learn:

All of data must have a class, include the lowest value and the highest value.
Each class of a data is only one.
Example 26
The following set of raw data shows the lengths, in millimeters, measured to the nearest
mm, of 40 leaves taken from plants of a certain species. Make the table of frequency
distribution.

5.6 6 , we have 25 30 , 31 36 , 37 42, 42 47 , 48 53 ,
e. If we take C

54 59 as our class interval.

5.6 5 , so we have 25 29 , 30 34, 35 39 , 40 44 , 45 49 ,
We take C

50 54 , 55 59 as our class interval.
d. We get C
Thus the table below shows the frequency distribution of the lengths of the 40 leaves.

Total frequency =
For the first class, we have:
- the lower class limit = 25
- the upper class limit = 29
- the lower class boundary = 24.5
- the upper class boundary = 29.5
For the second class, we have:
- the lower class limit =
- the upper class limit =
- the lower class boundary =
- the upper class boundary =
So the upper class boundary of the class interval 25 29 = the class boundary of
the class interval
For the fourth class, we have:
- the lower class limit =
- the upper class limit =
- the lower class boundary =
- the upper class boundary =
Histogram
The diagram below shows the histogram representing the frequency distribution of the
lengths of 40 leaves.

Frequency Polygons
The value mid-way between the class boundaries of a class is called the class mark, or the
mid-value, of the class.
The mid-value of a class is given by
(lower class limit + upper class limit) or
(lower class boundary + upper class boundary)
The table in example 26 is reproduced as shown below. It shows, in addition, the class
mark for each class interval in the frequency distribution.

A frequency polygon is drawn by joining all the mid-points at the top of each rectangle. The
mid-points at both ends are joined to the horizontal axis to accommodate the end points of
the polygon. This will make the graph neater with the end points falling off to zero on the
horizontal axis.
A frequency polygon is often useful when we wish to observe trends. It is also useful when
we wish to compare two distributions.

the triangle, prove that the triangle is a right-angled triangle.
