(a) The cumulative frequency curve for the data is attached below.

(b) (i) The inter-quartile range is 10.08.

(b) (ii) The 70th percentile class scores is 0.

(b) (iii) the probability that a student scored at most 50 on the examination is 0.89.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

To make a cumulative frequency curve for the data first convert the class interval into continuous.

The cumulative frequencies are computed by summing the previous frequencies.

The cumulative frequency curve for the data is attached below.

(b)

(i)

The inter-quartile range is the difference between the third and the first quartile.

Compute the values of Q₁ and Q₃ as follows:

Q₁ is at the position:

$\frac{\sum f}{4}=\frac{100}{4}=25$

The class interval is: 34.5 - 39.5.

The formula of first quartile is:

$Q_{1}=l+[\frac{(\sum f/4)-(CF)_{p}}{f}]\times h$

Here,

l = lower limit of the class consisting value 25 = 34.5

(CF) $_{p}$ = cumulative frequency of the previous class = 24

f = frequency of the class interval = 20

h = width = 39.5 - 34.5 = 5

Then the value of first quartile is:

$Q_{1}=l+[\frac{(\sum f/4)-(CF)_{p}}{f}]\times h$

$=34.5+[\frac{25-24}{20}]\times5\\\\=34.5+0.25\\=34.75$

The value of first quartile is 34.75.

Q₃ is at the position:

$\frac{3\sum f}{4}=\frac{3\times100}{4}=75$

The class interval is: 44.5 - 49.5.

The formula of third quartile is:

$Q_{3}=l+[\frac{(3\sum f/4)-(CF)_{p}}{f}]\times h$

Here,

l = lower limit of the class consisting value 75 = 44.5

(CF) $_{p}$ = cumulative frequency of the previous class = 74

f = frequency of the class interval = 15

h = width = 49.5 - 44.5 = 5

Then the value of third quartile is:

$Q_{3}=l+[\frac{(3\sum f/4)-(CF)_{p}}{f}]\times h$

$=44.5+[\frac{75-74}{15}]\times5\\\\=44.5+0.33\\=44.83$

The value of third quartile is 44.83.

Then the inter-quartile range is:

$IQR = Q_{3}-Q_{1}$

$=44.83-34.75\\=10.08$

Thus, the inter-quartile range is 10.08.

(ii)

The maximum upper limit of the class intervals is 69.5.

That is the maximum percentile class score is 69.5th percentile.

So, the 70th percentile class scores is 0.

(iii)

Compute the probability that a student scored at most 50 on the examination as follows:

$P(\text{Score At most 50})=\frac{\text{Favorable number of cases}}{\text{Total number of cases}}$

$=\frac{10+4+10+20+30+15}{100}\\\\=\frac{89}{100}\\\\=0.89$

Thus, the probability that a student scored at most 50 on the examination is 0.89.

1- is the product of two rational numbers irrational or rational? first, make a hypothesis by multiplying two rational numbers. then, use variables such as x=a/b and y=c/d and the closure property of integers to prove your hypothesis. 2- what do you think the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? is it rational or irrational? make use of variables, the closure property of integers, and possibly a proof by contradiction to prove your hypothesis. 3- why do we have to specify that the rational number must be nonzero when we determine what the product of a nonzero rational number and an irrational number is? if the rational number were 0, would it give us the same result we found in part b?
