  1. 1. False. It is the sum of the lower and upper limits divided by 2.

    2. False. It is the sum of the frequency of the class and all previous classes, which last class is equal to the sample size of N.

    3. True. To find relative frequency, divide class frequency by sample size or F/N.

  5. 1. The midpoint of a class is the sum of its lower and upper limits.

    False - it is the sum of the lower and upper limits devided by 2.

    2. The cumulative frequency of a class is the sample size divided by the frequency of the
    class.

    False - the cuminated frequency of a class is the is the sum of the frequency for that class and all previous classes.

    3. Relative frequency is the portion of the data that falls in that class.

  8. 1. False
    The midpoint of a class is the sum of the lower and upper limits of the class of data divided by two. The midpoint is sometimes called the class mark.

    2. False
    The cumulative frequency of a class is the sum of the frequency for that class and all previous classes. The cumulative frequency of the last class is equal to the sample size n.

    3. True
    The relative frequency of a class is the portion or percentage of the data that falls in that class. To find the relative frequency of a class, divide the frequency f by the sample size n.
