Freq dist data

		Disorganized
Fifty staff members of a construction company were surveyed to find out what their weekly salary		466
was to the nearest dollar. The results are as follows:		470
a) Choose an 7 classes interval and present these data in a frequency distribution table.		486
b) Find the class width		490
c) Find the class limits		543
d) Find the midpoint		519
d) Find the frequencies		527
e) Find the relative frequency of the class		470
f) Find the cummulative frequency of a the class		440
g) Build the histogram based on the frequency and the relative frequencies, using the midpoints		564
h) Build a frequency poligon		499
i) Build a cummulative frequency graph (ogive)		523
