),
(
)
of people in a certain town. The following data were obtained.
.
a)
To which scale of measurement do these data belong? b)
Summarize the data by constructing the appropriate frequency distribution. c)
Present the data using the appropriate graph/diagrams. 2.
The following data represents the scores of marks that an instructor gives a ten point test for statistics students in stat 1071 course (use sturge's formula).

In a certain test the
pass mark
is 30. The distribution of marks of
passing
candidates classified by sex is given below. The
overall (combined)
mean marks for boys including the
20 failed
were 39. The corresponding figure for girls including the
10 failed
were 37. a) Find the mean marks obtained by the 20 boys who
failed
in the test. b) Find the mean marks obtained by the 10 girls who
failed
in the test.

both sections
combined is 70, find the ratio of the number of students in section A to the number of students in B. 10.
