Answer:
Given:
Body mass index values:
17.7
29.4
19.2
27.5
33.5
25.6
22.1
44.9
26.5
18.3
22.4
32.4
24.9
28.6
37.7
26.1
21.8
21.2
30.7
21.4
Constructing a frequency distribution beginning with a lower class limit of 15.0 and use a class width of 6.0.
we have:
Body Mass Index____ Frequency
15.0 - 20.9__________3( values of 17.7, 18.3, & 19.2 are within this range)
21.0 to 26.9__________8 values are within this range)
27.0 - 32.9____________ 5 values
33.0 - 38.9____________ 2 values
39.0 - 44.9 _____________2 values
The frequency distribution is not a normal distribution. Here, although the frequencies start from the lowest, increases afterwards and then a decrease is recorded again, it is not normally distributed because it is not symmetric.
