Question 14

(a) The distribution of the lives (in days) of 40 transitor batteries is shown in the table:

Battery life

(in days)

26-30 31-35 36-40 41-45 46-50 51-55
Frequency 4 7 13 8 6 2

(a) Draw a histogram for the distribution.

(b) Use your graph in (a) to determine the mode for the distribution.

(c) Using an assumed mean of 43 days, calculate the mean of the distribution.

(d) What percentage number of batteries will live for less than 31 days or more than 45 days?
