What is the difference between a class boundary and a class limit? (Select all that apply.)
Class boundaries are values halfway between the upper class limit of one class and the lower class limit of the next.
Class limits are possible data values.
Class boundaries are possible data values.
Class boundaries are not possible data values.
Class limits are not possible data values.
Class boundaries specify the span of data values that fall within a class.
Class limits specify the span of data values that fall within a class.
Class limits are values halfway between the upper class boundary of one class and the lower class boundary of the next.

Look at the histogram below, which shows mileage, in kilometers per liter (km/L), for a random selection of diverse makes and aged passenger cars.†
(a) Is the shape of the histogram essentially bimodal?
Yes, because the histogram has one peak.
Yes, because the histogram has two peaks.    
No, because the histogram has one peak.
No, because the histogram has two peaks.
(b) Jose looked at the raw data and discovered that the 54 data values included both the city and highway mileages for 27 cars. He used the city mileages for the 27 cars to make the histogram below.
Using this information and the histograms shown above, construct a frequency table for the highway mileages of the same cars. Use class boundaries 16.5, 20.5, 24.5, 28.5, 32.5, 36.5, and 40.5.

(a) Make a histogram using the class boundaries 53.5, 99.5, 145.5, 191.5, 237.5, 283.5.

(b) Look at the last data value. Does it appear to be an outlier? Could this be the owner's salary?
Yes, it is an outlier and it is likely the owner's salary.
Yes, it is an outlier, but it is not likely the owner's salary.    
No, it is not an outlier, but it is likely the owner's salary.
No, it is not an outlier and it is not likely the owner's salary.
(c) Eliminate the high salary of 280 thousand dollars. Make a new histogram using the class boundaries 53.5, 62.5, 71.5, 80.5, 89.5, 98.5.

Does this histogram reflect the salary distribution of most of the employees better than the histogram in part (a)?
Yes

Histograms of random sample data are often used as an indication of the shape of the underlying population distribution. The histograms on the next page are based on random samples of size 30, 50, and 100 from the same population.

(a) Using the midpoint labels of the three histograms, what would you say about the estimated range of the population data from smallest to largest? Does the bulk of the data seem to be between 26 and 30 in all three histograms?
(b) The population distribution from which the samples were drawn is symmetric and mound-shaped, with the top of the mound at 10, 95% of the data between 26 and 30, and 99.7% of data between 25 and 31. How well does each histogram reflect these characteristics?

The ogives shown are based on U.S. Census data and show the average annual personal income per capita for each of the 50 states. The data are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars.
(i) Ogive
(ii) Ogive Showing Cumulative Percentage of Data
(a) How were the percentages shown in graph (ii) computed?
The percentages in graph (ii) were computed by dividing each of the cumulative frequencies in graph (i) by 100 and then converting those values into decimals.
The percentages in graph (ii) were computed by multiplying each of the cumulative frequencies in graph (i) by 50 and then converting those values into percents.    
The percentages in graph (ii) were computed by dividing each of the cumulative frequencies in graph (i) by 50 and then converting those values into fractions.
The percentages in graph (ii) were computed by multiplying each of the cumulative frequencies in graph (i) by 100 and then converting those values into decimals.
The percentages in graph (ii) were computed by dividing each of the cumulative frequencies in graph (i) by 50 and then converting those values into percents.
(b) How many states have average per capita income less than 37.5 thousand dollars?
(c) How many states have average per capita income between 42.5 and 52.5 thousand dollars?
(d) What percentage of the states have average per capita income more than 47.5 thousand dollars?
