AI Thread Summary
To calculate frequency, midpoint, relative frequency, and cumulative frequency for the class intervals 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, and 40-49, start by determining the number of data points that fall within each range to establish frequency. The midpoint for each class can be found by averaging the lower and upper limits of the intervals. Relative frequency is calculated by dividing the frequency of each class by the total number of data points. Cumulative frequency is obtained by adding the frequency of each class to the sum of the frequencies of all preceding classes. This structured approach allows for effective data analysis within the specified ranges.

Hi rihnavy! Welcome to MHB! ;)

By dividing the range into 5 equal parts.
The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 49.
So pick 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49.

Hello,
If the lowest class limit is 0-9 then how do I figure out the frequency, Midpoint, Relative frequency, and cumulative frequency?

Hey freedomdorm!

I saw you posted this update on to another question so I gave you your own thread. Are you curious about the other question or do you have a new problem you'd like us to look at? :)
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

Thread 'Imaginary Pythagoras'

I posted this in the Lame Math thread, but it's got me thinking. Is there any validity to this? Or is it really just a mathematical trick? Naively, I see that i2 + plus 12 does equal zero2. But does this have a meaning? I know one can treat the imaginary number line as just another axis like the reals, but does that mean this does represent a triangle in the complex plane with a hypotenuse of length zero? Ibix offered a rendering of the diagram using what I assume is matrix* notation...

Thread 'Fermat's Last Theorem'

Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
