Question

Transcribed Image Text:Construct one table that includes relative frequencies based on the frequency distributions shown below, then compare the amounts of tar in nonfiltered and filtered cigarettes. Do the cigarette filters appear to be effective? (Hint: The filters reduce the amount
of tar ingested by the smoker.)

O A. Yes, because the relative frequency of the higher tar classes is greater for nonfiltered cigarettes.
O B. No, because the relative frequency of the higher tar classes is greater for filtered cigarettes.
O C. No, because the relative frequencies for each are not substantially different.

Done
O D. This cannot be determined.

- Recall that a relative frequency histogram is used to graph quantitative data. Classes are chosen to divide the range of values into equal-length subintervals, then plotted along the horizontal axis. A bar is drawn for each class with height equal to the relative frequency for that class. To create a relative frequency histogram, first summarize the following data in a frequency table. 1 N 2 3 4 5 6 7 Class Class Boundaries 8 9 1.3 10 11 14.7 9.0 16.7 4.1 14.9 4.4 2.7 32.3 10.9 9.0 9.0 1.6 18.4 1.0 2.4 2.4 18.0 Since the measurements are all between the values 0 and 33, it will be convenient to choose 11 class intervals of length 3. Using the given data, tally the values within each class interval to determine the frequency of each class, and fill in the following table. 0 to <3 3.5 11.2 18.0 26.7 3.7 3 to 6 6 to 9 9 to 12 12 to < 15 15 to 18 18 to 21 21 to 24 24 to 27 0.2 6.1 13.5 27 to < 30 30 to 33 7.4 8.2 19.2 1 1 2 1 Frequency 10 5 1 4 1 X X 9.4 X 8.7 X 2.0 6.6 3.9 5.9 4.3 3.3 0.2…arrow_forwardThe following are goals scored by a soccer team at each game in their recent season. 00 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 5 0 Complete the relative frequency table.
