Question:

2.20 Suppose you want to create a mental picture of the relative frequency histogram for a large data set consisting of 1000 observations, and you know that the mean and standard deviation of the data set are 36 and 3, respectively.

a. If you are fairly certain that the relative frequency distribution of the data is mound-shaped, how might you picture the relative frequency distribution? (HINT: Use the Empirical Rule.)

b. If you have no prior information concerning the shape of the relative frequency distribution, what can you say about the relative frequency histogram? (HINT: Construct intervalsks for several choices of k.)
