QUESTION 22.1 The following dataset contains the number of defects found on each of 12
randomly chosen bicycle frames manufactured by Luigi Bikes Inc. over a period of
two weeks:
5 7 15 9
19 8 16 16
9 5 7 10
The formula for calculating the number of classes for a histogram is as follows:
k≥log12/log2 where: n = number of data values k = the number of classes
Since there are 12 observations in the data set, we have n = 12. Therefore:
k≥log12/log2 k=4 Now, with 4 classes, the class width is:
=Range /k
= (16-4)/4 =3
The frequency distribution is as follows:

Draw a Pareto chart and point out how it reflects the 80/20 principle. (4) [Hint: Use
the codes given in the table to represent the causes in the chart].
First, we order the causes according to their frequency, from largest to smallest, and
then construct a frequency table containing the frequencies, percentages, and
cumulative percentages.
