In a study of warp breakage during the weaving of fabric (Technometrics [1982]: 63), 100 pieces of yarn were tested. The number of cycles of strain to breakage was recorded for each yarn sample. The resulting data are given in the following table:

a. Construct a frequency distribution using the class intervals 0 to

b. Draw the histogram corresponding to the frequency distribution in Part (a). How would you describe the shape of this histogram?

c. Find a transformation for these data that results in a more symmetric histogram than what you obtained in Part (b).
