Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Class Boundaries
The given table provides class boundaries and frequencies. The class boundaries are:
\(73.5-83.5\) with frequency 5,
\(83.5-93.5\) with frequency 5,
\(93.5-103.5\) with frequency 2,
\(103.5-113.5\) with frequency 2.
Step 2: Calculate Cumulative Frequencies
To construct the cumulative frequency distribution, we sum the frequencies up to each class boundary:
Less than \(53.5\): 0 (no data below this boundary),
Less than \(63.5\): 0 (no data below this boundary),
Less than \(73.5\): 0 (no data below this boundary),
Less than \(83.5\): 5 (frequency of the first class),
Less than \(93.5\): \(5 + 5 = 10\) (sum of the first two classes),
Less than \(103.5\): \(10 + 2 = 12\) (sum of the first three classes),
Less than \(113.5\): \(12 + 2 = 14\) (sum of all classes).
Step 3: Fill in the Cumulative Frequency Table
The cumulative frequency distribution is as follows:
Less than \(53.5\): \(\square\) 0,
Less than \(63.5\): \(\square\) 0,
Less than \(73.5\): \(\square\) 0,
Less than \(83.5\): \(\square\) 5,
Less than \(93.5\): \(\square\) 10,
Less than \(103.5\): \(\square\) 12,
Less than \(113.5\): \(\square\) 14.
Final Answer
Less than \(53.5\): \(\boxed{0}\)
Less than \(63.5\): \(\boxed{0}\)
Less than \(73.5\): \(\boxed{0}\)
Less than \(83.5\): \(\boxed{5}\)
Less than \(93.5\): \(\boxed{10}\)
Less than \(103.5\): \(\boxed{12}\)
Less than \(113.5\): \(\boxed{14}\)
