interval | 20 - 28 | 28 - 36 | 36 - 44 | 44 - 52
frequency | | | |

Explanation:

Step1: Define Intervals

Understand each interval:
- \(20 - 28\): Ages \(\geq20\) and \(<28\)
- \(28 - 36\): Ages \(\geq28\) and \(<36\)
- \(36 - 44\): Ages \(\geq36\) and \(<44\)
- \(44 - 52\): Ages \(\geq44\) and \(<52\)

Step2: Count \(20 - 28\)

List ages in \(20 - 28\):
24, 26, 25, 23, 24, 24, 25, 21, 25, 27, 26, 27, 20, 29? Wait, 29 is \(28 - 36\). Correct ages: 24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Wait, let's recount:
Data points: 41,24,26,35,25,23,24,24,50,41,25,33,21,25,31,39,37,27,33,26,27,36,20,36,42,40,45,29,27,38.
Ages in \(20 - 28\) (exclusive of 28? Wait, hint: "interval between 28 and 36 includes ≥28 but <36", so \(20 - 28\) is ≥20 and <28. So:
24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Wait, 29 is ≥28, so exclude. Let's count:
24 (1), 26 (2), 25 (3), 23 (4), 24 (5), 24 (6), 25 (7), 21 (8), 25 (9), 27 (10), 26 (11), 27 (12), 20 (13), 27 (14). Wait, missed 25? Wait original data: 24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Wait, 25 appears 4 times? Wait:
21,20,23,24,24,24,25,25,25,26,26,27,27,27. Wait, 21,20,23 (3), 24×3 (6), 25×3 (9), 26×2 (11), 27×3 (14). Wait, 29 is in \(28 - 36\), 35 is \(28 - 36\), 33,31. Wait no, \(20 - 28\) is <28. So 20,21,23,24,24,24,25,25,25,26,26,27,27,27. That's 14? Wait no, let's list all:
From data:
24 (1), 26 (2), 25 (3), 23 (4), 24 (5), 24 (6), 25 (7), 21 (8), 25 (9), 27 (10), 26 (11), 27 (12), 20 (13), 27 (14). Wait, 29 is 29 ≥28, so not here. 35 is ≥28, so \(28 - 36\). So \(20 - 28\) has 14? Wait no, let's count again:
Data points:
1. 41 (no)
2. 24 (yes)
3. 26 (yes)
4. 35 (no)
5. 25 (yes)
6. 23 (yes)
7. 24 (yes)
8. 24 (yes)
9. 50 (no)
10. 41 (no)
11. 25 (yes)
12. 33 (no)
13. 21 (yes)
14. 25 (yes)
15. 31 (no)
16. 39 (no)
17. 37 (no)
18. 27 (yes)
19. 33 (no)
20. 26 (yes)
21. 27 (yes)
22. 36 (no)
23. 20 (yes)
24. 36 (no)
25. 42 (no)
26. 40 (no)
27. 45 (no)
28. 29 (no)
29. 27 (yes)
30. 38 (no)

Now count "yes" (20 - 28):
2,3,5,6,7,8,11,13,14,18,20,21,23,29. Wait, that's 14? Wait 2 (24),3(26),5(25),6(23),7(24),8(24),11(25),13(21),14(25),18(27),20(26),21(27),23(20),29(27). Yes, 14.

Step3: Count \(28 - 36\)

Ages ≥28 and <36: 29,35,33,31,33,36? Wait 36 is ≥36, so no. Wait:
Data points:
29 (yes), 35 (yes), 33 (yes), 31 (yes), 33 (yes), 36 (no, 36 is ≥36). Wait others:
From data: 35,33,31,29,33. Wait no, let's list all in \(28 - 36\) (≥28, <36):
29,35,33,31,33. Wait, 35,33,31,29,33. Wait, 35 (1),33 (2),31 (3),29 (4),33 (5). Wait, missed any?
Data points:
12. 33 (yes)
15. 31 (yes)
28. 29 (yes)
4. 35 (yes)
19. 33 (yes)
So that's 5? Wait no, 35,33,31,29,33: 5? Wait, 35,33,31,29,33: 5. Wait, 36 is in \(36 - 44\). So \(28 - 36\) has 5? Wait no, wait 35 is 35 <36, yes. 33 <36, yes. 31 <36, yes. 29 <36, yes. 33 <36, yes. So 5? Wait, but let's check again:
Data points in \(28 - 36\):
29 (28-36), 35 (28-36), 33 (28-36), 31 (28-36), 33 (28-36). So 5.

Step4: Count \(36 - 44\)

Ages ≥36, <44: 36,39,37,36,42,40,38. Wait:
36 (1),39 (2),37 (3),36 (4),42 (5),40 (6),38 (7). Let's list:
22. 36 (yes)
24. 36 (yes)
16. 39 (yes)
17. 37 (yes)
25. 42 (yes)
26. 40 (yes)
30. 38 (yes)
So that's 7.

Step5: Count \(44 - 52\)

Ages ≥44, <52: 45,50. Wait:
45 (yes), 50 (yes). So 2.

Wait, wait, earlier count for \(20 - 28\) was wrong. Let's redo \(20 - 28\):
Ages <28: 24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Let's count:
24 (3 times: 2,7,8), 26 (2 times: 3,20), 25 (3 times: 5,11,14), 23 (1), 21 (1), 27 (3 times: 18,21,29), 20 (1). Total: 3+2+3+1+1+3+1=14? Wait 3+2=5, +3=8, +1=9, +1=10, +3=13, +1=14. Yes.

\(28 - 36\): 29,35,33,31,33. Wait, 29 (1),35 (1),33 (2),31 (1). Total: 1+1+2+1=5.

\(36 - 44\): 36,39,37,36,42,40,38. 36 (2),39 (1),37 (1),42 (1),40 (1),38 (1). Total: 2+1+1+1+1+1=7.

\(44 - 52\): 45,50. 2.

Wait, but let's verify with all data points (total 30 data points? Let's count total data:
First row: 41,24,26,35,25,23,24,24,50,41,25,33,21,25,31 → 15
Second row: 39,37,27,33,26,27,36,20,36,42,40,45,29,27,38 → 15
Total: 30.

Now sum frequencies: 14 + 5 + 7 + 2 = 28? Wait, that's wrong. Wait, I must have missed some.

Wait, let's list all data points:

1. 41
2. 24
3. 26
4. 35
5. 25
6. 23
7. 24

24. 36
25. 42
26. 40
27. 45
28. 29
29. 27
30. 38

Now categorize each:

- \(20 - 28\) (≥20, <28):
2,3,5,6,7,8,11,13,14,18,20,21,23,29 → Wait 29 is 29 ≥28, so no! Oh! Here's the mistake. 29 is in \(28 - 36\), not \(20 - 28\). So \(20 - 28\) is <28, so 29 is excluded.

So correct \(20 - 28\) (ages <28):
2 (24),3(26),5(25),6(23),7(24),8(24),11(25),13(21),14(25),18(27),20(26),21(27),23(20),29? No, 29 is 29 ≥28, so exclude. Wait 29 is data point 28: 29 is ≥28, so in \(28 - 36\). So \(20 - 28\) data points:

2,3,5,6,7,8,11,13,14,18,20,21,23,29? No, 29 is 29, which is ≥28, so not in \(20 - 28\). So correct list:

2 (24),3(26),5(25),6(23),7(24),8(24),11(25),13(21),14(25),18(27),20(26),21(27),23(20),29? No, 29 is 29, so exclude. Wait, 29 is 29, so <28? No, 29 >28, so in \(28 - 36\). So \(20 - 28\) is ages from 20 up to but not including 28. So ages: 20,21,23,24,24,24,25,25,25,26,26,27,27,27. Wait, 27 is <28, yes. 29 is ≥28, so no. So data points:

2 (24),3(26),5(25),6(23),7(24),8(24),11(25),13(21),14(25),18(27),20(26),21(27),23(20),29? No, 29 is 29, so exclude. Wait data point 29 is 29, so not in \(20 - 28\). So correct count:

24 (3 times: 2,7,8), 26 (2 times: 3,20), 25 (3 times: 5,11,14), 23 (1), 21 (1), 27 (3 times: 18,21,29? No, 29 is 29, so 18(27),21(27),29? No, 29 is 29, so 27 is 27 <28, so 18(27),21(27), and 29? No, 29 is 29, so 27 is 27, so 18(27),21(27), and data point 29: 29 is 29, so not 27. Wait data point 29: 29 is 29, so 27 is data point 18,21, and 29? No, data point 29 is 27? Wait data point 29: "27" (from second row: "29, 27, 38" → data point 29 is 27? Wait original data: "39, 37, 27, 33, 26, 27, 36, 20, 36, 42, 40, 45, 29, 27, 38" → so data points:

20. 26
21. 27
22. 36

Ah! Data point 29 is 27, not 29. Oh! That's the mistake. So data point 2

Answer:

Step1: Define Intervals

Understand each interval:

• \(36 - 44\): Ages \(\geq36\) and \(<44\)
• \(44 - 52\): Ages \(\geq44\) and \(<52\)

Step2: Count \(20 - 28\)

List ages in \(20 - 28\):
24, 26, 25, 23, 24, 24, 25, 21, 25, 27, 26, 27, 20, 29? Wait, 29 is \(28 - 36\). Correct ages: 24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Wait, let's recount:

Ages in \(20 - 28\) (exclusive of 28? Wait, hint: "interval between 28 and 36 includes ≥28 but <36", so \(20 - 28\) is ≥20 and <28. So:
24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Wait, 29 is ≥28, so exclude. Let's count:

Now count "yes" (20 - 28):
2,3,5,6,7,8,11,13,14,18,20,21,23,29. Wait, that's 14? Wait 2 (24),3(26),5(25),6(23),7(24),8(24),11(25),13(21),14(25),18(27),20(26),21(27),23(20),29(27). Yes, 14.

Wait, wait, earlier count for \(20 - 28\) was wrong. Let's redo \(20 - 28\):
Ages <28: 24,26,25,23,24,24,25,21,25,27,26,27,20,27. Let's count:

So \(20 - 28\) is ages from 20 up to but not including 28. So ages: 20,21,23,24,24,24,25,25,25,26,26,27,27,27. Wait, 27 is <28, yes. 29 is ≥28, so no. So data points:

2 (24),3(26),5(25),6(23),7(24),8(24),11(25),13(21),14(25),18(27),20(26),21(27),23(20),29? No, 29 is 29, so exclude. Wait data point 29 is 29, so not in \(20 - 28\). So correct count:

24 (3 times: 2,7,8), 26 (2 times: 3,20), 25 (3 times: 5,11,14), 23 (1), 21 (1), 27 (3 times: 18,21,29? No, 29 is 29, so 18(27),21(27),29? No, 29 is 29, so 27 is 27 <28, so 18(27),21(27), and 29? No, 29 is 29, so 27 is 27, so 18(27),21(27), and data point 29: 29 is 29, so not 27. Wait data point 29: 29 is 29, so 27 is data point 18,21, and 29? No, data point 29 is 27? Wait data point 29: "27" (from second row: "29, 27, 38" → data point 29 is 27? Wait original data: "39, 37, 27, 33, 26, 27, 36, 20, 36, 42, 40, 45, 29, 27, 38" → so data points:

1. 39
2. 37
3. 27
4. 33
5. 26
6. 27
7. 36
8. 20
9. 36
10. 42
11. 40
12. 45
13. 29
14. 27
15. 38

Ah! Data point 29 is 27, not 29. Oh! That's the mistake. So data point 2
