Hoekema et al. (A-3) studued the craniofacial morphology of patient diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in health male subjects. One of the demographic variables the researchers collected for all subjects was the Body Was INDEX (calculated by dividing weight in kg by the square of the patient's height's in cm). The following are the BMI values of 29 OSAS subjects.

a) Use these data to construct:
A frequency distruction
A relative frequency distribuction
A accumulative frequency distribution
A histogram
A frequency polygram
b)What percentage of the measurements are less than 30?
c)what percentage of measurements are between 40.0 and 49.99 inclusive?
d)what percentage of the measurements are greater than 34.99?
e)describe these data with respect to symmetry and skewness as describe
f)How many of the measurements are less than 40?
a)
Class interval | Frequency | Relative frequency | Cumulative Frequency | Cumulative Relative Frequency |
20 - 25 | 2 | 2 / 29 = 0.069 | 2 | 0.0690 |
25 - 30 | 11 | 11 / 29 = 0.3793 | 13 | 0.4483 |
30 - 35 | 6 | 6 / 29 = 0.2069 | 19 | 0.6552 |
35 - 40 | 2 | 2 / 29 = 0.069 | 21 | 0.7241 |
40 - 45 | 5 | 5 / 29 = 0.1724 | 26 | 0.8966 |
45 - 50 | 2 | 2 / 29 = 0.069 | 28 | 0.9655 |
50 - 55 | 1 | 1 / 29 = 0.0345 | 29 | 1.0000 |
Total | 29 | 1.0000 |

Frequency polygon:
b) Percentage of the measurements that are less than 30 = 13/29 = 44.83%
c) Percentage of measurements are between 40.0 and 49.99 inclusive = (5+2)/29 = 24.14%
d) Percentage of the measurements are greater than 34.99 = (2+5+2+1)/29 = 34.48%
e) The data is not symmetric and the distribution is skewed.
f) Number of the measurements that are less than 40 = 2+11+6+2 = 21
