(a) Construct frequency distribution.

(b) Compute mode, median and mean of the frequency distribution.

(c) The lower and upper quartile of the frequency distribution.

The answers are in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

X1 - Absolute frecuency - cumulative absolute frequency - Relative frecuency

104 2 49 0.042

108 1 50 0.021

Total: 50 50 1

b) Mean: is the number average = 3806/48 = 78.12 Median: is the number or average number of half = 76 Mode: Is the number that appears most frequently = 72

c) Lower quartile: 67 Upper quartile: 84
