The interpretation of data is that for 15 days, the restaurant can

accommodate lunch for 61-65 customers in 50 weekdays.
The FDT shows that the average number of customers the restaurant had served
from the interval with the highest frequency is 63. While 46 customers are less than
the interval 65 and 19 customers are greater than the same interval. 34% of the
customers are below the interval 55 while 84% are greater than the same interval.
The average number of customers the restaurant had served from the interval with
the lowest frequency is 73.

2. A manufacturer of jeans has plants in California (CA), Arizona (AZ), and Texas
(TX). A group of 25 pairs of jeans is randomly selected from the computerized
database, and the state in which each is produced is recorded.

c. Write a complete discussion about it. (use the following question for your
discussion)
1. What proportions of the jeans are made in California? Arizona? Texas?
36% of the pairs of jeans are made in California, 32% are made in Arizona,
and another 32% are made in Texas.

2. What state produced the most jeans in the group?

According to the table produced above, California produced the most jeans in
the group.
3. If you want to find out whether the three plants produced equal numbers
of jeans, or whether one produced more jeans than the others, how can
you use the charts from part b to help you? What conclusions can you
draw from these data?
The above bar graph may be used in finding out which among the three
plants produced equal or more number of jeans by simply looking at the frequency
level of each category.
In conclusion, California has the most jeans produced than Arizona and Texas
while both Arizano and Texas has the same number of produced jeans.

The graph shows that on day 1, the athlete spent 90 minutes for practice. On day 2,
he spent 88 minutes for practice while on days 3 he spent 66 and on day for 4 he
spent 94 minutes. 56 minutes, 60 minutes, and 98 minutes were spent for practice
on days 5, 6, and 7 consecutively. Finally on day 8, the athlete spent 82 minutes for
practice. The interpretation also presents that the most number of minutes for
practice was spent on day 7 and the least number of minutes on day 5.

4. We collected 50 pennies and recorded their ages, by calculating

a. Draw a frequency histogram to describe the distribution of penny ages.
How would you describe the shape of the distribution?

The histogram shows observations more distributed to the left. This shows
that there are more new pennies rather than old pennies.
5. The mobile Internet is growing, with users accessing sites such as Yahoo!
Mail, the weather Channel, ESPN, Google, Hotmail, and Mapquest from their
cell phones. The most popular web browsers are shown in the table below,
along with the percentage market share for each.

a. Do the percentages add up to 100%? If not, create a category called Other

to account for the missing percentages.
The percentages equate only to 93% and not the total of 100%. Below is the table
