Expert Solution
Step 1

Note: " Since you have posted many sub-parts. we will solve the first three sub-parts for you. To get the remaining sub-parts solved, please resubmit the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved."

Given: The data of seventh graders in two classes.

A.

In the given scenario, it can be observed that the 3 students with length ratio of 1.6 are present in both the classes. Also, 2 students each with length ratio of 2 and 1.7 are present in both the classes. This implies that the two data sets overlap a little.

B.

The table can be represented as:

Length ratio (x) Number of students of class 1 (f1) Number of students of class 2 (f2)
1.5 2 1
1.6 3 3
1.7 2 2
1.8 2 4
1.9 1 0
2 2 2
Total (N) 12 12
