Instructions: Please read each instruction carefully. Points awarded for each exercise is shown. Graphs should be done on grid (graph) paper and properly labelled. Points will be taken off for untidy and disorganized work. Use complete sentences where necessary. Project should be professionally done.

  1. For each of restaurant’s service times, do the following.
ACreate a frequency distribution with the given classes. Include the class boundaries, midpoints, relative frequency, and cumulative frequency of each class. Three separate frequency distributions.
