1. Charging Elephant Speeds The following data are the measured speeds in miles per hour of 30 charging elephants. Construct a grouped frequency distribution for the data. From the distribution, estimate an approximate average speed of a charging elephant. Use 5 classes.
(Based on data in theWorld Almanac and Book of Facts.)
25 24 25 24 25
23 25 19 32 23
22 24 26 25 23
28 25 25 26 27
22 28 24 23 24
21 25 22 29 23
.
The answer is:
|16-19 |1 |
|20-23 |9 |
|24-27 |16 |
|28-31 |3 |
|32-35 |1 |
And the estimated mean is 25.
2. Protein Grams in Fast Food The amount of protein (in grams) for a variety of fast-food
sandwiches is reported here. Construct a frequency distribution using 6 classes. Draw a histogram,
frequency polygon, and ogive for the data, using relative frequencies. Describe the shape of the
histogram.

The answer is:
|11 to 18 |6 |
|19 to 26 |14 |
|27 to 34 |10 |
|35 to 42 |7 |
|43 to 50 |2 |
|51 to 58 |1 |
The histogram is right skewed
3. National Hockey League Games The data shown indicate the number of wins and the number of
points scored for teams in the National Hockey League. Draw a scatter plot for the data and describe the nature
of the relationship.
Source: USA Today.
No. of wins, x 10 9 6 5 4 12 11 8
No. of points, y 23 22 15 15 10 26 26 26
No. of wins, x 7 5 9 8 6 6 4
No. of points, y 21 16 12 19 16 16 11
There is a positive relationship between them. Higher points score translates to move games won.
4. Trial-Ready Cases Construct a Pareto chart for the number of trial-ready civil action and equity cases
decided in less than 6 months for the selected counties in southwestern Pennsylvania.
Number of
County cases
Westmoreland 427
Washington 298
Green 151
Fayette 106
Somerset 87

5. Bank Failures in the United States The number of bank failures in the United States during the years
1989–2000 is shown. Draw a time series graph to represent the data and analyze the results.
Number of
Year failures
1989 207
1990 169
1991 127
1992 122
1993 41
1994 13
1995 6
1996 5
1997 1
1998 3
1999 8
2000 7
2001 4
2002 11
