Question XXXXXXXXXXmarks

Missy Walters owns a mail-order business specializing in clothing, linens, and furniture for
children. She is considering offering her customers a discount on shipping charges for
furniture based on the dollar-amount of the furniture order. Before Missy decides the
discount policy, she needs a better understanding of the dollar-amount distribution of the
furniture orders she receives.

Missy had an assistant randomly select 50 recent orders that included furniture. The
assistant recorded the value, to the nearest dollar, of the furniture portion of each order. The
data collected is listed below (data set also provided in accompanying MS Excel file).

XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX


a. Prepare a frequency distribution, relative frequency distribution, and percent
frequency distribution for the data set using a class width of $5 XXXXXXXXXX3 marks)

. Construct a histogram showing the percent frequency distribution of the furniture-
order values in the sample. Comment on the shape of the distribution XXXXXXXXXXmarks)

c. Given the shape of the distribution in part b, what measure of location would be most
appropriate for this data set? XXXXXXXXXXmarks)
