Question 1
Table 1: Car Ownership Satisfaction
Car Manufacturer Country
Satisfaction Result
Malaysia Europe Japan
Satisfied 700 1200 1700
Not Satisfied 1300 800 300

a)
(i) Quantitative Describe
(ii) Qualitative Ordinal

b) Construct a relative frequency distribution (in decimal) for each of the result.
700 / 2000 = 0.583 1200 / 2000 = 0.60 1700 / 2000 = 0.85
1300 / 200 = 0.65 800 / 2000 = 0.40 300 / 2000 = 0.15

c) Satisfaction result:
1. Malaysia
700 x 2000 / 360 = 128
2. Europe
1200 x 2000 / 360 = 216
3. Japan
1700 x 2000 / 360 = 306

d) Draw a multiple bar chart of the car ownership satisfaction results based on
car manufacturer country.

Satisfied Not Satistied

e) Based on your multiple bar chart in d) comments on the result of the study.

In my opinion, the responses received from consumers suggest needed improvements in

many important areas. Consumers desire better satisfaction with program staff and
manufacturer representatives. The programs may consider increased training of staff in
order to better handle consumers’ questions and complaints. To improve satisfaction
amongst Malaysia, Europe and Japan car ownerships, manufacturers may consider
increased efforts to disclose and the availability of the arbitration programs, as well as
performing awards within the required timeframe. The low rating of consumers’
experiences with arbitrators and the suggestions provided from consumers indicates a
need for the programs to increase their training and education of arbitrators. An increase
in the training provided to arbitrators, especially with an emphasis on clear and complete
decision writing, may help address some of these concerns.

QUESTION 2

Table 2
22.8 27.0 27.9 30.4 33.4
24.8 27.2 27.9 31.1 33.9
24.8 27.4 28.2 31.4 35.3
26.0 27.4 29.4 32.4 35.7
26.0 27.4 29.6 33.1 36.3
26.1 27.6 29.8 33.2 40.2

a) Obtain the suitable number of classes and the class width of the given data.
K = 1 + 3.3 log 30
= 5.87
=6
Size = d = 40.2 -22.8 (Highest – lowest)
6
= 2.9

b) Develop a frequency distribution table for the data in Table 2. Take 22.8 as the
lower limit of the first class.

22.8 – 25.6 25.7 – 28.5 28.6 – 31.5 31.6 – 34.5 34.6 – 37.4 37.5 – 40.4
3 12 6 5 3 1

c) Develop a relative frequency table (in percentages).

22.8 – 25.6 25.7 – 28.5 28.6 – 31.5 31.6 – 34.5 34.6 – 37.4 37.5 – 40.4
10% 40% 20% 17% 10% 3%

d) Estimate the percentage of students who are able to answer the quiz not more
than 29.7 minutes.

Answer : 56.7%

e) Construct a histogram and frequency polygon of the data.

f)
 Asymmetrical Distributions
In an asymmetrical distribution, the two sides will not be mirror images of each other.
Skewness is the tendency for the values to be more frequent around the high or low
ends of the x-axis. When a histogram is constructed for skewed data, it is possible to
identify skewness by looking at the shape of the distribution.
A distribution is said to be positively skewed (or skewed to the right) when the tail on
the right side of the histogram is longer than the left side. Most of the values tend to
cluster toward the left side of the x-axis (i.e., the smaller values) with increasingly
fewer values at the right side of the x-axis (i.e., the larger values). In this case, the
median is less than the mean.
 Right Skewed Distribution
A right-skewed distribution has a long right tail. Right-skewed distributions are also
called positive-skew distributions. That’s because there is a long tail in the positive
direction on the number line. The mean is also to the right of the peak.

QUESTION 3/ SOALAN 3

Table 3 shows the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for 25 randomly selected
post graduate students in OUM.
