41. A researcher surveys a sample of n = 200 college students and asks each person to identify his or her
favorite movie from the past year. If the data were organized in a frequency distribution table, the first column
would be a list of movies.
TRUE
42. A group of quiz scores ranges from 3 to 10, but no student had a score of X = 5. If the scores are put in a
frequency distribution table, X = 5 would not be listed in the X column.

48. A grouped frequency distribution table lists one interval as, 20-29. The width of this interval is 9 points.
FALSE
49. In a grouped frequency distribution table, one interval is identified as 30-34. This interval has a width of 5
points.
TRUE
50. If a set of scores covers a range of 80 points, the grouped frequency table should use an interval width of 8
points.
FALSE
51. A set of scores ranges from X = 18 to X= 91. If the scores are put in a grouped frequency distribution table
with an interval width of 10 points, the top interval would be 91-100.
FALSE
52. In a grouped frequency distribution table, the top value in each class interval should be a multiple of the
interval width.
FALSE
53. A set of scores ranges from a low of X = 18 to a high of X = 98. If the scores are put in a grouped frequency
distribution table with an interval width of 10 points, the bottom interval should be 10-19.
TRUE
54. A grouped frequency distribution table does not provide enough information to obtain a complete listing of
the original set of scores.

57. A professor records the number of students who are absent each day for the semester. Because this is a
discrete variable, a bar graph should be used to show the frequency distribution.
FALSE
58. A researcher surveys a sample of n = 200 college students and asks each person to identify his or her
favorite movie from the past year. If the results are presented in a frequency distribution graph, the researcher
should use a bar graph.
TRUE
59. If it is appropriate to present a distribution of scores in a polygon, then it would also be appropriate to
present the scores in a bar graph.
FALSE
60. A histogram is constructed so that adjacent bars touch.
TRUE
61. The normal distribution is an example of a symmetrical distribution.
TRUE
62. In February in New York, the daily high temperatures are typically low with only a few relatively warm
days. A frequency distribution showing the daily high temperatures would probably form a negatively skewed
distribution.
TRUE
63. The scores for a very easy exam would probably form a positively skewed distribution.
FALSE
64. If a set of exam scores forms a negatively skewed distribution, it suggests that the majority of the students
did not score well on the exam.
TRUE

72. Briefly explain what information is available in a regular frequency distribution table that is not available in
a grouped table.
A regular table identifies each individual score exactly. However, in a grouped table, you simply know that an
individual score is located in a particular interval, but you do not know its exact value.
