Required

1. Construct a frequency distribution table showing the time in minutes taken by the parliamentary members using the above classes.

2. Using the data above obtain and explain the following

  1. The Mean travel time
  2. The median Travel time
  3. The Modal Travel time for the Members of Parliament

3. The negotiations for transport facilitation are under way and the above measures are being debated. The Executive is insisting on using the modal time while the Parliamentarians are insisting on using the mean as the measure of central tendency. Justify the choice by each category

4. Calculate and explain the meaning of: Why would one prefer the use of Standard Deviation to the range as a measure of dispersion?

5. Test the hypothesis that the mean time taken to travel by an MP is at least 35minutes against an alternative it is less at 5% level of significance and make a conclusion. What advice would you offer to the Commission?
