Question

Help with algebra 2?

Answer 1

Hi @rootbeer003 Have you attempted to create a frequency table yet?

Answer 2

No i have not

Answer 3

Okay, so it says to use 5 - 14 as the first class interval when creating our frequency table. In other words, create interval sets of ten starting with 5 like so:

5 - 14 |
15 - 24|
25 - 34|
35 - 44|
45 - 54|
55 - 64|
65 - 74|
75 - 84|

Answer 4

Do u want me to write that down? the table

Answer 5

So now we will list each of the items that occur within their respective interval. I will do the first interval:

5 - 14 | 10, 12, 12, 12, 14
15 - 24|
25 - 34|
35 - 44|
45 - 54|
55 - 64|
65 - 74|
75 - 84|

@rootbeer003, Can you try listing the items that occur for the next interval?

Answer 6

I'd prefer if you attempted to write the table down in the chat. You're free to also do it on a separate piece of paper first.

Answer 7

I mean here, not in the chat.

Answer 16

Almost there. Just three more rows to go.

Answer 17

5 - 14 | 10, 12, 12, 12, 14

Answer 18

So now we should draw a histogram and in order to do that, we should first space these out properly:

5 - 14 |10, 12, 12, 12, 14
15 - 24|16, 16, 17, 18,19,20,24 
25 - 34|25, 25, 26, 26, 30, 30, 33, 33
35 - 44|36, 38, 40, 40
45 - 54|50, 52
55 - 64|56,
65 - 74|
75 - 84|75, 82

Answer 19

Thats gunna be one long histogram

Answer 20

How will we start it?

Answer 21

So the thing is, I used a particular website to create our histogram so let me show you something.

Answer 22

Ok

Answer 23

Interesting, so would i try and redraw the first 1 or use the second one?

Answer 24

Hang on. Let me post the histogram with the correct interval count

Answer 25

If you want to create your own, you can go here:
http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Histogram/

Answer 26

So now that we have it, now we can try to figure out which distribution type corresponds to the histogram.

Answer 27

Do you already have a list of distribution types to choose from?

Answer 28

I dont

Answer 29

Do i put that pic on the paper too?

Answer 30

You don't have your class notes which list them? Because there are many distribution types but for your class, it might only use maybe four rather than ten for example

Answer 31

Let me check

Answer 32

I doesnt say anything

Answer 33

only says ' the normal distribution '

Answer 34

Seems strange. There are other distribution types besides that. Is there a way for you to share your notes?

Answer 35

OH idk if its what u need but it says this

Answer 36

skewed distribution,bell-shaped distribution,uniform distribution ?

Answer 37

There we go. Yes, that's what I was looking for. Cool, because there are so many different types of frequency distribution, there's no telling what terminology your particular class uses. Cool. So let me post something in response to that.

Answer 38

Ok ill be back in a few minutes while you look over that.

Answer 39

Okay, so these are the frequency distribution types your class is currently studying. So tell me, amongst the ones you see, which do you think best reflects that which we have created?

Sorry my website keeps shutting down..
