Question

The following are the lengths of stay (in days) for a random sample of 20 patients discharged from a particular hospital 13,9,5,11,6,3,12,10,11,7,4,4,2,2,2,10,10,10,12,12Draw the histogram for these data using an initial class boundary of 1.5 and a class width of 2 you can add or remove classes from the figure. Label each class with its endpoints.

Answer 1

We are given the data for a random sample of 20 patients discharged from a particular hospital.

13,9,5,11,6,3,12,10,11,7,4,4,2,2,2,10,10,10,12,12

The initial class boundary is 1.5 and the class width is 2.

This means that the first class will start at 1.5 and the next class will be at

1.5+2 = 3.5

3.5+2 = 5.5

5.5+2 = 7.5

7.5+2 = 9.5

9.5+2 = 11.5

11.5+2 = 13.5
