  1. Form a cumulative frequency distributionand
    hence draw the ogive for the frequency distri-
    bution given in the solution to Problem 3.

  2. Draw a histogram for the frequency distribu-
    tion given in the solution to Problem 4.

  3. The frequency distribution for a batch of
    50 capacitors of similar value, measured in
    microfarads, is


10.5–10.9 2

11.0–11.4 7

11.5–11.9 10

12.0–12.4 12
12.5–12.9 11

13.0–13.4 8

Form a cumulative frequency distribution for
these data.

  2. The diameter in millimetres of a reel of wire
    is measured in 48 places and the results are as
    shown.
