Temperature transducers of a certain type are shipped in batches of 50. A sample of 60 batches was selected, and the number of transducers in each batch not conforming to design specifications was determined, resulting in the following data.
5 1 2 4 0 1 3 2 0 5 3 3 1 3 2 4 7 0 2 3
3 4 2 1 3 1 1 3 4 1 2 3 2 2 8 4 5 1 3 1
8 0 2 3 2 1 0 6 4 2 1 6 0 3 3 3 6 1 2 3
(a) Determine frequencies and relative frequencies for the observed values of x = number of nonconforming transducers in a batch. (Enter relative frequencies to three decimal places.)

(b) What proportion of batches in the sample have at most six nonconforming transducers? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)


What proportion have fewer than six? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)


What proportion have at least six nonconforming units? (Enter your answer to three decimal places.)


(c) Draw a histogram of the data using relative frequency on the vertical scale, and comment on its features.


(select the best answer)
The center of the histogram is around 2 or 3 and it shows that there is some negative skewness in the data.
The center of the histogram is around 2 or 3 and it shows that the distribution is fairly symmetric.
The center of the histogram is around 4 or 5 and it shows that there is some positive skewness in the data.
