1. In the article The tools of Quality Part IV: Histograms (Quality Progress, September 1990, Vol. XXIII, No.9, pp.75-78) data are presented on the gain of 120 amplifiers. These data are reproduced below.
a) Construct a stem-and-leaf display step by step. Category Interval=1 (7,8,9,10,11 as stems, and decimal number as leaf) (3pts).
b) Comment on the shape of the display in a. Can you make an assumption that the data follows normal distribution? Why? (2pt)
c) Construct a stem-and-leaf display step by step. Category Interval=0.5 (7.0¤X<7.5, 7.5¤X<8, 8.0¤X<8.5, ¦.) (1pts).
