The weights of new born babies (in kg) in a hospital on a particular day are as follows:
2.3, 2.2, 2.1, 2.7, 2.6, 3.0, 2.5, 2.9, 2.8, 3.1, 2.5, 2.8, 2.7, 2.9, 2.4
(i) Rearrange the weights in descending order.
(ii) Determine the highest weight.
(iii) Determine the lowest weight.
(iv) Determine the range.
(v) How many babies were born on that day?
(vi) How many babies weigh below 2.5 kg?
(vii) How many babies weigh more than 2.8 kg?
(viii) How many babies weigh 2.8 kg?
(i) Descending order :- 3.1, 3.0, 2.9, 2.9, 2.8, 2.8, 2.7, 2.7, 2.6, 2.5, 2.4, 2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1
(ii) Highest weight is = 3.1 kg
(iii) Lowest weight is = 2.1 kg
(iv) Range = 3.1 – 2.1 = 1.0 kg
(v) Number of babies born on that day = 15
(vi) Number of babies weigh less than 2.5 kg = 4 (2.4, 2.3, 2.2, 2.1)
(vii) Number of babies weigh more than 2.8 kg = 4. (3.1, 3.0, 2.9, 2.9)
(viii) Number of babies weigh 2.8 kg = 2.
