Example 1.15 from Statistics, 1.3 Frequency, Frequency Tables, and Levels of Measurement

Frequency, Frequency Tables, and Levels of Measurement: example 1.15

From Table 1.15, find the percentage of heights that are less than 65.95 inches.

Work it out on paper first. Then open the solution one step at a time, and stop as soon as you can finish on your own.

Solution
If you look at the first, second, and third rows, the heights are all less than 65.95 inches. There are 5 + 3 + 15 = 23 players whose heights are less than 65.95 inches. The percentage of heights less than 65.95 inches is then $\frac{23}{100}$ or 23 percent. This percentage is the cumulative relative frequency entry in the third row.
