a chain of sport shops catering to beginning skiers, headquartered in aspen, colorado, plans to conduct a study of how much a beginning skier spends on his or her initial purchase of equipment and supplies. based on these figures, it wants to explore the possibility of offering combinations, such as a pair of boots and a pair of skis, to induce customers to buy more. a sample of 44 cash register receipts revealed these initial purchases: $ 180 $ 186 $ 130 $ 263 $ 258 $ 159 $ 127 $ 84 $ 208 180 104 233 92 223 176 216 219 209 205 150 241 110 239 124 173 174 264 232 182 261 216 193 196 223 239 176 261 150 245 84 232 152 95 233 click here for the excel data file required: a. arrive at a suggested class interval. (round your answer up to the next multiple of 5.) b. organize the data into a frequency distribution using a lower limit of $70.

Answer :

(a) Class interval of a given data is 36.

(b) Frequency distribution is 44.

We have given that,

total frequency = 44

lower limit = $70

number of class = 5

(a) we have to find class interval,

Class interval =  [tex]\frac{Max. number - min. number}{no. of classes}[/tex]

here maximum number is 264 and minimum number is 84

Class interval = [tex]\frac{264 - 84}{5}[/tex]

                      = [tex]\frac{180}{5}[/tex]

Class interval = 36

we have to round our value to the next multiple of 5

so the class interval will be 40.

(b) A frequency distribution is the pattern of frequencies of a variable. It is the number of times each possible value of a variable occurs in a dataset. There are three types of frequency distribution such as Cumulative frequency distribution, Relative frequency distribution, Relative cumulative frequency distribution.  

The frequency distribution is as follows:

Class interval           Frequency

 70 - 110                         6

 111 - 151                          5

152 - 192                       10

193 - 233                       14

234 -  274                       9

Total                              44

This is the organize data into a frequency distribution.
